Oh my gosh!!!
Parvo is a really serious dog virus that can be prevented one cheap set of boosters. If your dog already has parvo, it causes horrible stomach issues--and your dog is in very serious trouble. Not many pups make it with Parvo--especially untreated. You should really take the dog to the vet--he needs IV fluids.
In the meantime, if you cannot get him to the Vet, the very best thing that you should do is go to the grocery store or pharmacy and buy a few bottles of Pedialyte. Store brand is ok. Also buy either a turkey baster or a baby dropper that is like a turkey baster. Give your dog Pedialyte often--maybe once every hour or so. This is because they become VERY, seriously dehydrated. If you grab (gently) the fur behind your dog's neck, and it doesn't immediately fall back down--he/she is dehydrated. Also, look at your dog's gums. If the gums are pink or red--that's good. If your dog's gums are white--get him to the vet, you are about to lose him fast. Never EVER give your dog tylenol. One infant size dose of aspirin is sufficient should you think they are in pain, which they normally express by crying or shaking (again, a very good reason to go to the vet.) Your dog is unlikely to feel like eating; if they will, prepare them some white rice or some cottage cheese. These are foods that help settle stomachs. Do not give them Immodium or anything like that unless your vet advises you to do so.
Best of luck to you--I hope your pup makes it.

Sorry to say but the chances of survival are pretty slim. The most you can do for it is try to get her to drink some pedialyte or other electrolyte drinks like they give kids when they have diarrhea.
If you want her to have any chance of survival, though, take her to the vet and it ain't cheap to treat parvo. If you can't afford the treatment, have her put down humanely because she surely will suffer over the next couple days with that parvo. It's nasty stuff, man. Poor pup...so sorry.

You need to take your dog to the vet as soon as possible... parvo is VERY serious and can often lead to death.
My boyfriend and I bought a puppy when we first got together. The poor thing never looked right and ended up being diagnosed with parvo. For a week she was on IV drips and medicines, but nothing helped. She eventually died.
Don't mess around with parvo... it's important that you get your dog professional help!

Parvo can be very difficult to treat even for a Vet with all the equipmrnt, training and medications. If you try to home treat your dog, it will probably die. TAKE IT TO A VET!!!!!!

yes my sister had a chow that got it she saved him by giving it gater aid in a tureky baster down it mouth by forse ever couple of hours and givieng it lots of hugs and holding him talking to him.. the dog will not want to drink or swallow but if you want it to live you have to put it down it mouth.. you can't leave it alone and go out... stay with it... her dog is now 12 years old and it got it as a pup....if you take it to the vet it will die.. they will not care for it as well as you can.. they give it a iv and stick it in a cage and the pup gives up...
