We have a puppy who has Parvovirus (a deadly virus for puppies), I have found online that, dispite the fact it is originally intended to treet humans for flu/birdflu symptoms, Tamiflu is nearly 100% effective in curing Parvo in dogs too.
The problem is our poor puppy, Cooper, is so sick he is unable to hold down hardly any food/water without puking it up.
My question is, is there a version of this medication (Tamiflu) that is either in Shot format, or something that could be given in an IV to our puppy.
Thanks in advance for your help

For those concirned - The Puppy (Cooper) is already at the vet ... I am just researching additional options for our vet to increase our puppy's chance of survival.
Pictures of our puppy from before he got sick can be seen here:

Please take your dog to the vet, it is probably dehydrated from vomiting/no eating or drinking and he could probably do with some fluids. The vet will also tell you about the possibility of using tamiflu, although if he's been sick more than two days it wont do any good, Tamiflu is given if you have noticed symptoms for no more than 2 days.
