Will My Puppy Survive Parvo?

RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By patriciamjm (1) Contact Just took my baby Jr to the vet today, he did get his first dose of the parvo vac, but still managed to contact the virus. He's 4 months old and love him so much. At the moment he's resting Ive been watching him every time he vomits I give him the pedylte and every 12hrs we give him the IV. Im just hoping and praying he makes it through this. Knowing some dogs make it gives me a glimmer of hope that Jr will too. All the postings have helped and I know what needs to be done. Thanks!

By lovemyabby (1) Contact My chihuahua Abby is 4 months old and I had her vaccinated with her first parvo shot when she was about 8 weeks old. Unfortunately 2 days ago, she tested positive for it and she was throwing up white foam. So I had her hospitalized. She has been in there for 2 days now, it has cost me 200 dollars so far. I have gone and seen her everyday and she seems like she is getting better. I have cried everyday since I got the news. I went today and got her to eat a little of the food they had for her and to drink a little water. I'm so scared she will take a turn for the worst. As of now tho, she seems to be getting better. Please pray for her. I love her so much.She is like a child to me. Posted on 08/20/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo?

By Leslie (Guest Post) My dog cherrio tested positive to parvo today and she is very sick. The past couple of days she hasent eaten anything and she has been vomiting a lot. This morning she wouldn't even get up, so I took her to the vet and sure enough I got the heartbreaking news. She is so miserable. I am going to give her 24 hour attention and if it worsens I wonder if I should have her put to sleep? I dont want her to suffer. I have never felt this way about a pet, but it feels more like a kid or family member. Posted on 01/29/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By Angela C (Guest Post) My mother has this dog for 2 months (he's 5 months old), she's been taking him to the vet for all his shots, etc, last week she took him there for a nail trimming and found out he had Demodectic Mange, i contacted the breeder but she makes every excuse she can think of up, and now she took him to the vet again just today due to him being sick, tired, not eating, and having dieareha (sp?), they said he had parvo. She spent $156 for IV's and prescription puppy food called I/D they look like meatballs. They told us he got it from about a week ago, i got to thinking and maybe he caught it from the vets office! Anyways, they gave him the IV and antibiotics before he left the vets and when we got him home he was jumping around again, we have to give him IV and meds for the next 3-4 days, and feed him 3 of those meatball looking things a day along with water. My mom said if he doesn't make it, this will be the last dog she ever owns. I hope it doesn't come down to that. We love the lil guy. Posted on 12/31/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By moname (Guest Post) My puppy tested positive for parvo after we thought she was just sick with worms. the next day that we took her to the vet, the vet suggested a parvo test because she had kept vomiting. i cried knowing that there was only a 15 percent chance I could save her as it said on the literature that they hand you. I did not want to lose my baby midnight. the vet assured me that the chances of him surviving the illness were very slim because he was a pup and only 2 pounds with little fat reserve. immediately after I left the vet I bought 2 bottles of pedialyte and began give him 1/2 cc every 15 minutes. I would eventually increase the amount of pedialyte as i noticed no vomiting. i also found some antibiotics that my niece had that i gave every 4 hours. the first day he slept all day dry nose and i was very worried that he would be worse the next day but i prayed for the best and kept up the pedialyte very very important every 15 minutes. I had no sleep but by day 2 my puppy showed improvement. no vomiting and no diarrhea so I began to give small amounts of bland white rice chicken and small curd cottage cheese. offering this several times not forcing. Eventually he did start to get diarrhea around the third or fourth day and so i upped th pedialyte to 2 1/2 ccs as much as I could get without him vomiting. by day 5 he barked and began to drink and eat more. day 6 diarrhea is gone and day 7 he is done with antibiotics. Please don't give up on your pup no matter how much the odds seem to be against you. Have faith. My midnight is alive and well on day 7 and I thank the lord. Watch your dog and if he or she is looking sick take them in for a parvo test right away the earlier it is detected the higher the survival rate.. god bless to all...

He has been throwing up and just stopped having diarrhea. The vet said he has a 50%-50% chance of surviving and we have only had him for 2 weeks. We love him very much and don't want anything to happen to him! PLEASE KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS!! Posted on 12/04/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By jennarate (Guest Post) Just bought my husband an 11 week old french bulldog. Within days she was ill, and finally last night before I realized it was parvo, she started to show blood in her stool. I took her to the emergency vet where they treated her overnight. She has already been sick for a few days and I PRAY we aren't too late with treatment. She is now in our personal vets office being monitored and treated so maybe there's a chance for her. We love our little Schnitzle. The puppy store where we bought her had apparently had some exposure, cause our vet says she had parvo when I purchased her..grrrrr. People should take care of animals, they are innocent and unconditional. Posted on 12/02/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By mana (Guest Post) I also have a puppy with parvo. I noticed a few days ago that he was sad and lazy, then after he threw up. I thought he just ate too much food. The next day he started throwing up a lot and on the third day, ended up with very bloody diarrhea. I brought him home from the vet today but I am very scared. I cried for a long time. He's so lifeless and the blood just keeps coming out when he goes to the bathroom. He has stopped throwing up but the blood is getting darker. I have him on an iv once a day as directed from the vet along with lots other medicines. I feel for all you, but I feel maybe I caught it too late.

We got her after my 11 year old weenie dog which I had since I was 3 ran away. The vet said if she made it through the night and she is doing better (sitting up, walking, etc.), she will make it. We have had her 5 days and I was so sad from my other dog that I poured all my love into this dog. Please pray for her. Her name is Sable.

By sadden by my actions (Guest Post) I just took my puppy to the vet yesterday she is six months old and the vet told me that she has parvo. I feel so guilty because I kept putting off getting her shots. I couldn't sleep last night and every time the phone rings I get goose bumps. I was also told that she has a 50/50 chance. Please keep my puppy in your prayers. Posted on 08/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By Vanessa Lluy (Guest Post) Hi Everyone! My puppies name is Mimi, she was a stray. She showed up on my door step a few days ago and only about 48 hours after I had her she began getting sick. I took her to the vet yesterday and they did some blood and stool tests and she was diagnosed with Parvo. When the vet told she had a 50% chance of making it with treatment (antibiotics and IV hydration) my heart broke. I'm so scared for her. Please pray for Mimi, she's such a great puppy. She is being hospitalized. The vet said if she makes it through tonight she should be able to make it. Thank you for this website, it's so nice to read about people with similar issues. Posted on 08/14/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By Randall L. Sprague (Guest Post) My puppies had parvo. With one vet visit and an IV, I took them home, and fed them pedialyte and baby food (meats). It took a couple of days, but they have been eating, drinking, and playing now for about a week. It can be done, good luck to you all. Posted on 07/31/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo?

Use 10% Bleach and 90% water everywhere the dog has been. God bless you pup. Posted on 07/09/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By cherry (Guest Post) I just found out that my puppy same breed as yours has parvo too. She is only 2 months old and we saved her from a shelter. The next day took her to the vet and found out she has parvo. It's very sad. I love her in only the few days we have had her. She is smart and makes me so happy. It's cost 1,900 dollars to have a 50/50 chance to live. I really cant afford it. I'm only 23 but have a bond, and can't see her die. Just be hopeful like I am best wishes to you and your family. Cherry Posted on 06/24/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By mcbcagirl (Guest Post) My dog survived parvo and another puppy has too. My other dogs didn't catch it because I gave them Parvaid. It has done wonders because one of our dogs was starting to vomit and with that he is back to his old self. It does work, I would love to know what happened to your dog. Posted on 05/21/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By x (Guest Post) Please don't put more puppies in that yard. The Parvovirus is most likely living all over the place. I work at a vet, and I have been told that the virus can stay in the ground for a year. Any time a pet comes in with Parvo, we have to clean every surface in the office with bleach + special cleaner, and we never take dogs to the special area designated for parvo dogs (outside- where they urinate).

By schubunny (43) Contact I love how mods here delete some feedback just because it is not as positive, but yet constructive. I think any responsible pet owner should be told and realise that preventing the inevitable is better than having to deal with it when it comes. Everyone: get your dog all his/her shots at 8 weeks. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you do not want to bring it to the vet when something this dangerous comes upon your furry friend, do not get a pet. If your child came down with pneumonia and you could not afford the hospital bill, would you just place him/her in bed and try to will them back to health? I'm sorry but I consider that abuse. Either way, good luck, I really do hope the home remidies help, and that you learn something from this in the future. We all deserve a second chance, if it is given.

I'm concerned with what you said about your grandmother has had many dogs die of parvo. That's not normal and its very possible each pup is catching it from her house. It can take a very long time for the parvo disease to die away in someones back yard..etc. Posted on 04/26/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By Sherry (Guest Post) Keep the pup hydrated and treat the symptoms. I treated Parvo with Pedialyte (keep refrigerated after opening), Pepto, and Ester C. I used a needleless syringe to give lot of Pedialyte, small amounts of Pepto every few hours, and most importantly, Ester C capsules, 500mg twice a day for pups. It must be Ester C capsules, not regular C, and capsules work fastest. You must be vigilant and be on watch 24 hours a day. Keep it up until all symptoms are gone. No food, lots of liquid and prayer. Posted on 04/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By Gail (Guest Post) Check with your local feed store, and see if they carry penicillin for animals. You can buy the medicine, and the syringes there for not much money, and give the shots yourself. When my dogs got Parvo, we did this, and we alternated chicken broth with the Gatorade, through a needle-less syringe into their mouths. In a few days, they were both up and around. They are 5 years old now. Good luck to you and Chewy. Posted on 04/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo?

By Amandablue (68) Contact I am sorry to hear about your puppy. The best person to talk with for what you should do is your vet. Cleaning with bleach and water is important. Go on line for articles on this disease. It sounds like this disease is nasty and contagious to other dogs. Feces will spread this. Did you get this dog from your grandmother? Bottom line talk to your vet, and go on line to read up on this! God Bless. Posted on 04/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By Darlene (Guest Post) Do you believe in prayer? Well my husband had a dog who had Parvo. They took turns staying up with him also he said your dog needs vitamin's. It took a month he said but he pulled through. Also a whole lot of prayer helps and you should start praying now. God does amazing things. I will pray for him & for you. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope that it is Gods will, he will live. Good Luck take care. It's hard they become like your babies and your heart just breaks. Darlene Posted on 04/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By Lori (Guest Post) Our dog got parvo and I took care of him at home. I did the same as you with water and pedia lite; about 1/4 cup every 15 to 30 minutes kept him from vomiting it back up. Our vet also gave him an oral dose of worming medicine. He said he doesn't know why, but it seems to help. Our dog pulled through and in just a few days was back to his old self. Good Luck! Posted on 04/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? By Lorelei (463) Profile Contact A beagle was saved from dying of parvo because the son gave him round the clock care for the first 24 hours. He slept near it on the floor and each time it threw up, he would give it more fluid. He had to force it down him with a big hypodermic syringe without the needle of course and held about one ounce. The beagle pulled through and it's critical the dog remain hydrated. Good luck with your sweet dog. Posted on 04/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo?
