Will My Puppy Survive Parvo?

RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? Post By jennarate (Guest Post) (12/02/2008) 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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? Post By mana (Guest Post) (11/30/2008) 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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo?

Post By sadden by my actions (Guest Post) (08/20/2008) 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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? Post By Vanessa Lluy (Guest Post) (08/14/2008) 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.

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. 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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? Post By cherry (Guest Post) (06/24/2008) 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.

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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? Post By x (Guest Post) (05/13/2008) 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).

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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? Post By Sherry (Guest Post) (04/25/2008) 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.

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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo?

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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? Post By Darlene (Guest Post) (04/25/2008) 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.

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! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo? Post by Lorelei (209) | (04/25/2008) 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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Will My Puppy Survive Parvo?
