My 5 month old puppy had been infected for the last 7 days even though it was vaccinated. VAT doctor pushed IV saline 500 ml every day from date of proof of infection till today, around 7 days. He does not drink water or eat food.
We are worried. How long can he survive without food and water?
My 2 month old German Shepherd got parvo 3 days ago. The breeder didn't vaccinate him. The next morning, after he came to live with us, we brought him to get vaccinated. Two hours later he started vomiting. We supposed it was because of the vaccines. The next morning he had bloody diarrhea. We brought him to the vet and they gave him fluids, antibiotics, and some medicine called as polyglob. That treatment cost so much.
Every day we have to bring him to the vet to get him medicines and fluids. The vet said that he has a 50% chance of survival. I don't know if that is true or not. I wanted to ask you as well. He is moving more than before; maybe he is getting better.
This takes time, sometimes weeks. He is a puppy therefore will take more care and watched like a baby. Do everything your Vet said and watch him close.
Parvo is very hard on a dog and it does take time for the dog to get better. In most cases the dog will show signs of improvement within the first 4 to 5 days of being treated by a vet. In a lot of cases the dog will be up and around and start eating again within 5 to 7 days but it can take up to 30 days before the dog is completely over Parvo. I know this because I had 2 dogs with Parvo and both cases were so different from each other. One of my dogs was much older when he got it and he jumped back a lot faster than the 4 month old puppy did. The puppy was very sick and had to stay at the vet for 10 days. The first few days were very scary and the dog kept pooping blood.
I have a dog that was diagnosed with parvo. He started showing signs on Monday with vomit and bloody diarrhea and we took him to the vet on Tuesday. He got injected and given medication.
So we continued doing the treatment at home, but he was OK for the first day, but then got worse. He is now hospitalized with a vet for a 3 day treatment. What are his chances?
No way to tell. In the old days, dogs with parvo were kept at the vet until they recovered, so it would not spread. Parvo was rare. They were on iv fluids almost the entire time. Now, it is so much more common and the trend seems to be for vets to send them home after they are diagnosed. I do hope the vet told you how to disinfect everything, including the yard (from it tracking on your feet).
No one can guarantee anything, but you are giving the dog the best chance by leaving him at the vet and taking him there at the first sign of illness. Good luck.
This all depends on the dog. I had 2 dogs that had parvo in the past. One of them was treated at home and the second spent 7 days at the vet's with an IV and shots. Both of the dogs survived and were fine after the treatments.
It is harder on a small dog such as yours because of their weight. They don't have as much weight to lose as a larger dog does. However, my nephew's Bichon Frise was hospitalized the same time as my dog and they both were very sick when they went in. Both dogs survived. I'd say leaving the dog with the vet is your best chance on a full recovery. They are there to monitor the dog and give the dog injections when needed.
I have a Pug and it is 40 days old. Two days after getting it we found out it has parvo. The doctor says it is too small not even 40 days old. The person who who sold it to us told us that it is 40 days old.
The doctor says the chances are only 50-50 and the treatment is too expensive. Is it okay to continue with the treatment?My German Shepherd puppy is 3 and a half years old and she is infected with the parvo virus. Her treatment is going on. She is receiving an IV daily, morning and evening. Can she survive?
I'm wondering if I can put my Kristen Coach purse with sequins in the washer?
My Labrador puppy is about 8 and a half weeks old. We picked him up on Sunday, and that night around 1 AM he began throwing up white froth and was making noises as though in pain. We took him to the vet the next morning when it opened and found out it was parvo, and the vet immediately put him into intensive care. He has had two vaccinations, one when he was about 4-6 weeks and one in the last week.
Tuesday he was doing a lot better, but this morning, Wednesday, it has deteriorated slightly. We were told it would fluctuate, that it would get worse before it gets better. He has not had any bloody stool, he eats and drinks, but not a lot. He's hooked up to an IV, and he's still with the vet. What are his chances? We're hoping and praying that hell make it through.I had gotten a pup around a year ago and they said he had a parvo vaccine but he got parvo. He is 2 years old and a Australian shepherd. My parents won't take him to the vet and he hasn't eaten in three days and I'm very worried.
This is so sad. I'm very sorry you are having to deal with your friend having this terrible virus. You may be able to help him but it's probably going to depend on what stage your dog has reached with this problem.
You do not state your age but apparently you are young, still living at home and do not have anyway to pay for a vet since your parents have decided not to help.
Your parents decision may be based on the costs that vets charge to treat Parvo - very expensive - usually over $1,000 and could cost a lot more.
You may be able to get your parents to contact your local SPCA or Humane Society to see what help they can offer.
Here are a couple of links that have some information on treating this at home but most likely you will have to ask your parents for help.
Remember this: the big killer where it comes to Parvo is the dehydration and malnutrition.

The only way to know if a dog has Parvovirus (Canine parvovirus) through a positive diagnostic test. Not all cases of bloody diarrhea with or without vomiting are caused by Parvovirus and many sick puppies are misdiagnosed as having CPV. If your dog has been diagnosed with parvo, then the vet has seen your dog. Then the vet had to tell you what to do with home treatment. But if your parents did not take the dog to the veterinarian, then the testing was not carried out, which means that there is a chance that this is not a parvo.
Approximately 85% of dogs that are infected with parvo and do not receive in-hospital care will die of dehydration as a result of the severe vomiting and diarrhea associated with the disease. But the percentage of those who recovered, although not large, is still there. As there is no specific cure for parvo the goal of treatment is to provide supportive care until the animal fights off the virus and is able to eat and drink without vomiting. If I were you, I would pour liquid food into him every few hours. This is how I once rescued a puppy with Canine distemper. He was less than a year old and he felt very very badly, and I myself was exhausted and, as it is not terrible to say it, but I did not believe that he will recover. But he survived and felt great.
My 8 months old Rottweiler has parvo, he started vomiting yesterday, and has bloody stool. We took him to the vet right when we saw him vomiting. He hasn't been eating for 3 days. Last night he got admitted, he got his medication and IV fluid. Today he only vomited just once.
He is able to walk a little bit and he was able to pee today. But still has bloody stool. I'm really scared for him, will I lose him? Is there any chance of survival? He was my first dog and I got him when he was 40 days old.My pup is going on his 4th day with parvo. The vet has been giving him under the skin fluids every 12 hours, plus antibiotics, anti-nausea meds, and probiotics. We are feeding him chicken broth, and Pedialyte with a syringe.
He now drinks water on his own, but still has bloody diarrhea. Any chances he'll pull through?
You are doing everything you can to save your dog. The fact he is drinking is a good sign. I wish you luck.
