So we have a 2 month old Labrador-Shepherd. It's only been a day since he was suffering from parvo. He's been pooping blood, like cranberry red blood with worms and dang! The worms are jiggling and it smells funky! We give him baby food using a syringe and sugar water just for him to have something in his stomach but vomits after an hour or two.
He's responsive and still wags his tail when we call him but I see he's suffering. He's already skin and bones in less than a day :((( I use a syringe to help him drink some water to keep him hydrated. We can't afford the vet. What are the best remedies I could give our Tyler? :(( Please help me.

I'm sorry but if you do not take your Tyler to a vet even if just for a check-up to make sure you can call them if you need to ask questions after Tyler is home it could be placing him in a dangerous situation.
Here is some information about a treatment that is unusual but vet's say it works when/if your dog refuses to take fluids.
"Enema Fluids:
This is one of the most common ways to give fluid at home, and the amount that you will inject will depend on the size of your dog. The heavier the animal, the more fluids you will need to administer. Consult your vet on exactly how much to administer for the size of your puppy.
Here are some online sites that offer help with vet bills. I know nothing about any of the places so just look at the sites to see if you might qualify for help. Also, contact your local Humane Society to see if they have information about where to get financial help or lower vet services.

Here are links to how to treat your dog at home. Some suggestions will be different so read carefully but be sure you keep Tyler hydrated, rested and slowly provide food.

I've been calling friends with someone they know who has a vet clinic. Tyler's really in a bad shape. We've been keeping him hydrated. The pup's fighting. For now, we only keep him on one space and disinfect the floors. We have 2 senior dogs and one's a year old. I'm hoping for the best but if Tyler doesn't make it, there's nothing more I could do. I think this one's severe.
It makes me sad to hear about pets and owners struggling with Parvo and how the cost to save them seems to be so prohibitive that the average person cannot afford the cost, even to save a life and of course, pets given even the best of care do not always make it.
Parvo is very contagious to animals. This virus can last weeks , depending on the animal. Antibiotics is needed along with much care. If your dog has had his shots, this helps. You really need to contact a Vet, also if there are any other animals in the home, this would be very harmful to other pets , catching this virus. There is a Vet's link that you can ask questions for help. - www.justanswer.com/
This can be fatal. Your dog needs medical care. You can try to work out a payment plan with the vet or go to the SPCA.
Not everyone understands that not everyone can afford to get their dog treated for parvo. We sure couldn't. We're on day 3. I've been giving him Pepto, penicillin, and electrolyte water around the clock. The blowout bloody diarrhea has stopped, and he's puking way less than he was 2 days ago.
