I do not have the money to go to a vet, but is there a way I can give my dog Ampitrexyl for the parvo infection? That is the best I can do. Please I love my dog dearly he is my baby boy. Will it help him?

As you already know this is a very serious illness and giving advice on something like this is difficult.
ThriftyFun gets a lot of questions on this subject so I would suggest you read what others have tried and make your own decision.

My 7 month old has been suffering for about 5 days..I have been forcing collide silver down his throat with a turkey baster.. I mixed with this some children Panadol and antibiotics 2 times a day. Plus I added electrolytes some black strap molasses and bi carb soda.. I mixed up what I gave him at the 5 or 6 times I feed him. But all were with the collide silver base.. I thought I had lost him on day 3 ... but persisted.. he now has a little more energy. Looks much better and has even drank some water on his own. I am still giving him the different mixtures plus a bit of chicken stock. I am confident that he will make it.. the next challenge is getting him to eat on his own.. but I am sure he will soon. So don't give up..persist ...even when you think it is no use and maybe even cruel to keep forcing fluid down there throat.. good luck
I am not certain that my 9 week old Pitt had or have parvo-she had the first 2 rounds of her puppy boosters,then fell sick I started pumping Pedialyte in her and she perked up and played and ate a little the next day.then a couple hours later we were back to being sick we took her to the vet paid 200 for meds but we were strapped for cash so I took her home and started the meds and looking for alternative treatments.I found activated charcoal-it helped a little-then I heard about sovereign silver.after 4 doses she was wagging her tail nd drinking on her own,not long after that maybe an hour she began eating then playing...still has dyareia but not throwing up this is day 5 ..I'm not sure if this is over or just a reprieve I'm still giving Pedialyte and sovereign silver.
How much of the silver stuff did you give your puppy per dosage ?
What is sovereign? Also here is a list of meds you need for parvo that many professional breeders and rescues have used successfully for years.
1. Tami Flu. It kills the parvo virus in dogs. Its a human med that is prescribed. So you have to ask your doc or a vet for the script.
2. Cerenia, Zofran, or another anti nausea medicine to help them stop throwing up
3. Imodium AD given for diarrhea.
4. Fluids. Its best to do sub q fluids for the first couple days because most of the time any thing they ingest will cause vomiting or diarrhea. So in rescue we usually withold any food or fluids given orally except for meds to reduce possible vomiting.
Next two items are just recommended for their immune systems. I give it everyday.
5. Tomlyn High Calorie Puppy Gel
Works better then Karo syrup. The link is posted here. www.amazon.com/
6. Dyne. Dyne is a thick, sticky and sweet nutritional supplement that every puppy who is growing and doesnt have all their vaccines should have. I give my puppies this once s day everyday. It does wonders for their immune system
Hope all this helps.
Pepto bismol
I had a puppy with parvo. You can give 1 to 2 tablespoons of water (little bits at a time) into the rectum every hour they can absorb fluids that way. Just water or pedialyte.
This is for all who can't afford a vet when your dog has parvo. Go to a feed store!! You can buy the shots & give them yourself!!!
Yes u are right it's a 9 in 1 shot . But the only thing u have to be careful of is the end up getting diluted . They ship it not refrigerated then they refrigerate it when they arrive at the feed store. If ur going to use it from there I suggest u give puppy the entire shot . Then repeat 2-4 weeks later to ensure ur puppy is safe. Another idea for cheaper shots is a lot of shelters administer vaccines a lot cheaper than the vet. They are done correctly with the correct shipping of product. The plus to this is ur also helping ur shelter in ur area provide food etc by paying them to give vaccines . So it's a two for one. Even if u notice signs of parvo give them the shot anyways it helps with curing ur dog. If u catch it quick enough u sometimes don't even have to administer other home remides it snaps them right out of it.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO GIVE PARVO SHOT TO A PARVO INFECTED PUPPY! Wait till they recover about a month after to give them their shot!
Did you give 500 mg amoxicillin 3 x a day, in total 1500 mg or that 500 was split into those 3 doses?
The 6 week mark is nonsense. I am with a Rescue and that is FALSE information. A puppy can get Parvo whenever moms immunity has gone away which is sometime from birth to 16 weeks. That is why you vaccinate every two to four weeks from 5 weeks to 16 weeks. PLEASE verify the advice given to you on this site. So much of it is inaccurate.
sovereign silver is a "brand" name of a colloidal silver....... scotch tape/cellophane tape.... sovereign silver/colloidal silver....
As of 1 weeks ago from today a shot I think it was a nine in one or an eight and one cuz they don't have 7in ones anymore I guess, but it was $16 and some change plus tax I think it ended up coming to 18 something under twenty bucks. Unfortunately for me my puppy is only 4 weeks old and his mom is not around. But we're trying that colloidal silver stuff we'll see.
Not true my puppy is according to the vet between 4 and 5 weeks old, and we are struggling through it right now. Mom has died so so with him being too young to have gotten the shots, she's now sick very sick. But I have lots of high hopes cuz I am pretty sure I caught a pretty fast, with him still wanting a bottle and eating quite often I noticed that the first sign of not eating. I have kept him dehydrated since I noticed he has hardly vomited, and he hasn't got runny runny diarrhea yet he still got semi-solid poops. We'll see from here but he's strong and he's got me.
shots of what? If they already have parvo do you think giving them a shot is going to help?
Silver is very easy to make, takes about 10 minutes. Youtube has many videos..
How much Pepto do we give our dog's we have 1 that are 4months and 1 that is 10months and 1 that is 2 year's old and the other one is 9 months
It is simply a brand of colloidal silver. Like Kleenex is a brand of tissues. I keep colloidal silver on hand all the time.
There is an article about an alternative treatment at home:
csu-cvmbs.colostate.edu/
The two drugs are Maropitant, an anti-nausea drug, and Convenia, an antibiotic. Both are given under the skin. The Maropitant must be given several times daily. This is intensive treatment, but at $300, is much cheaper than the $1500-$3000 for hospitalization.
A dog can die within 48 hours of catching parvo. If I were you, I'd ask the vet about this treatment, or work out some payment plan.
Most vets do not do payment plans...they will work with you on what you can afford but if youre broke they will not help....and what you can afford is measured by treatments and tests they are not doing for your dog....its crappy
My dog has a tooth infected can I give him ampitrexy. 500 ml.
