As a dog breeder or a Dog PAWrent, I believe our greatest fear right now is the dreaded Uncle Parvo.. A viral dog disease so deadly It kills in days and gives our pets only a 50% chance of survival. If you don't know Uncle Parvo and have never seen him, Lucky You. Keep doing what you're doing and try to keep everything clean.

Signs and symptoms of canine parvovirus include the following:
Bloody diarrhea (often severe)
Fever.
Lethargy (lack of energy)
Loss of appetite.(that's almost the first thing that happens)
Malaise (discomfort associated with illness)
Rapid weight loss.(this happens so fast, puppy goes from chubby to bony in hours)
Vomiting.(Mostly in whitish foam, more like its vomiting its own saliva in a foamy way)
Dehydration( when the eyes becomes sunken)

Now to the Aim of this thread, Some of us have had dogs that survived Parvo while some of us haven't been that lucky.. Let's share our stories, we all would learn and be informed. Those with Parvo survivors, what did you do??details on how you treated them. Items used, drugs, everything worthy enough to be known. Those that don't have survivors, how did it happen, have you been able to decipher how it came into your kennel or compounds?? What treatment methods did you try??drugs?


Treatment will include the following:
IV fluids to counter dehydration
Antibiotics to prevent septicemia
Probiotics to replenish the normal intestinal flora
Injectable vitamins, especially Vitamins B & C to help the immune system
Colostrum to provide antibacterial elements to fight the infection within the gut
Glucosamine to coat the intestines


Me : Activated Charcoal
Novax
Ors solution for rehydration
One metoclopromide or something like that
Cimetidine tabs too

That all I used and the result was just wow
0%..None survived

Before getting another pup I hope you know you have to make your house clean and disinfect ?? Against Parvo?? Unless the cycle would continue. The virus can actually survive in the compound till the next victim comes.. Disinfection is done with bleach

I already broke the cage sef, threw it away

What's your Parvo story

My own puppy was 5 months old when he was attacked. it all started. with loss of appetite then the bloody poop and the foamy vomit but I didn't know it was parvo yet. I thought it had to do with his teething. When I took him to the vet, I failed to mention the foamy vomit cos I thought it was not relevant. I was very sure it was the teeth. The vet checked the teeth which were kind of loose and had blood at the base. He said it was normal. he then decided to take her temperature and noticed it was not normal( can't remember if it was high or low). He gave her a shot of vitamins and said it would help with the appetite.

It didn't work and it pooped the bloody poo again vomited the foamy vomit. When I called the vet again, he said it could be parvo. The next day, he placed him on IV fluids, antibiotics and vitamins (sorry I never got the names). The treatment was for about 5 days.

He suggested I gave him ORT and glucose water but he never drank them. so what worked for him was the iv fluids.
This dreadful episode lasted a week without my dog eating or drinking.

What I took from the experience is to give my doctor even the minutest information cos it might just be the key information.

Another thing is that the vet knew what he was doing and he is the kindest of them all. He was humane in his approach. treating my puppy like he was human. I know the love an affection really helped. He is my Incredible Dr Pol of Natgeo wild *wink*

And yes! I prayed, I prayed hard. So thank you Jesus.

The good news is that my dog made it!

Parvo struck your dog at 5months?? That dog is almost an adult already. I would cry if a 5months old dog dies. The no eating part was what my Vet told me first, she said force feeding them would only complicate the matter and i didnt bother either.
IV fluids worked for your dog.. Happy for you. I believe your pup's age also gave him an advantage. His immune system were already quite strong

IV fluids
Antibiotics
Vitamins
Treatment lasted 5 days
Love and prayers

....And he survived

First survivor story

You left out love and prayers *wink*

Haven't had a parvo case personally but I've witnessed it in my friends rottweiler puppy. He got the dog one day and the very next day the dog was down with parvo, luckily for him he started treatment almost immediately and the pup survived. Later the stubborn disease migrated to the next victim which was his Caucasian puppy and we almost lost that one too but the treatment really helped, both dogs are doing really well now

Do you by any chance know what drugs he used and the process

DipoAy:

My mind wasn't there but I'm sure of I.V fluids and oral drip

There's a drug for parvo now. Its both a preventive and curative drug. But quite expensive. 5K for 50mls. U can use as much as 300mls for your Dog to be Ok. Depending on the age. Its works well
