Answer 1

From an article that i found from care2.com, and they are a pretty reliable source for animal care.

I would also feed your dog canned food, and maybe some baby food that is chicken with chicken gravy or turkey with turkey gravy. (note there should not be too many other ingredients other than the chicken, water and corn starch... no veggies...etc...).

I would be concerned that perhaps your dog may need antibiotics to fight off the opportunistic bacteria and subsequently viruses.

If you can, try calling a vet that will accept payment plans on some level, there are a few out there.

Hope this helps.
best of luck to you and your canine friend!

Answer 2

Try your best. Give him everything you can. but unfortunatly without the vaccine since parvo is a virus it will always be in the dogs system and he will have to have the vaccine or medications to live. Most of the time within a week its too late if the medicine hasnt already been in them. I hope you can get him to a vet on time.

Answer 3

try bread soaked in milk as well and force feed him if you have too. and if he does survive then please get him the rest of his vaccinations bc you would not want him to get sick again .also if he does survive his immune system will always be weaker than most dogs . So remember when he gets well take him to the vet and get him his shots . Even if that mean mowing alot of yards for people do what you can owning a dog mean responsibilities and caring for another life . I hope I helped.

Answer 4

Pedialyte is better, but you dog still may not live. I would dilute it 3 parts of Gatorade to one part of water and give it too the dog every hour. I have never heard of a dog living through parvo without veterinary care.

Answer 5

i wouldnt feed him at all as long as he is symptomatic it will only expediate the the loss of intestinal lining your vet will either put them on sq fluids or give you some medicinces to soothe the gut but honestly if they havet been vaccinated they have a very slim chance of making it gatorade is pretty good for keeping them hydrated

Answer 6

Gatorade might help your dog survive dehydration (which might be brought on by parvo), but Gatorade is not a cure for parvovirus.

Answer 7

you have to go to a vet. keeping hydrated will not work and certainly dont give him gatorade. if he has parvo and he cant get to a vat im afraid he will probably die

Answer 8

If you care about your dog, take him to the vet. If you don't and he has parvo, he is going to die and you are porolonging his suffering.

Answer 9

You were cheap enough once not getting him his shots. Do the right thing, go without your internet and other luxuries and take the poor animal to a vet either to treat or euthanize.

Answer 10

No it is NOT true...there are NO home remedies to treat parvo..if indeed this puppy does have parvo he MUST be taken to the vet asap!!!
