oy sounds like parvo....
its best to have them put to sleep unless you want to put out at least $500 each to have them treated. Get all your animals in.....bleach the crap out of everything and next time....get your animal spayed and vaccinated.

It does sound like parvo. I had a puppy die from parvo...it is pretty serious. There is a test that the vet can do to tell for sure if it is parvo. At my vet, the test costs around $50. If you want to save your puppies, you need to take action now...as soon as my vet found that my puppy had it, he immediately hooked her up to an IV to give her fluids because they become dehydrated. This is a virus, so there is no cure...you can only treat the symptoms and help keep the puppies hydrated. I've heard of plenty cases where the puppies/dogs survived parvo, but it's not always the case. My puppy was only 7 weeks old, she had gotten parvo from the breeder we purchased her from. Unfortunately we were unable to save her. Again, if you want to save your puppies, they need fluids....if nothing else, my emergency vet told me to give her gatorade or pedialyte - they both have electrolytes to help prevent dehydration..if you can get them to drink it. Also...if you have any other dogs that are not vaccinated for parvo, be extremely careful since parvo is very contagious. It can be killed by bleach, so consider cleaning thoroughly with bleach if you plan on having any other young dogs in your home or in the same area. My vet told me to not get any other puppies for 6 to 12 months after Molly died, to ensure all of the virus was dead. Hope this helps.

They have parvo. There is very little chance of them surviving, there is no cure, the only thing that can be done is taking them to the vet and putting them on fluids and hope they fight it. In the future, puppies should not be put anywhere that has not been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. You should never wear shoes around them (Parvo is carried on the bottom of your shoes), and you should always wash your hands before touching them.
I'm so sorry the whole litter got sick.

probalby parvo and it's either put to sleep if that bad or spend thousands of dollars to attmept to cure them.
If it is parvo dont get any more pups for about a year. It satys in teh ground and in the house that long.
sorry about this but it's the truth but you need to ask the vet what the problem is if the mom isn't vacinated she can also get it.
by not treating or putting to sleep they will S l o w l y starve and dehydrate untlil they do die.

Sounds like they may have Parvo. If the vet is suggesting to have them put to sleep, I would check with another vet and if they say the same thing it might be for the best.

Sounds like Parvo virus. You should do as your vet advised. You can save them and it will cost you plenty. I am sorry for you and the pups. They need antibiotics and hydration. If there is blood in the stool it is probably too late to help them.

Surely the vet told you what it is. Maybe parvo, giardia, coccidia? If they are not treated all of them will die. It may be too late now. That may be why the vet wanted to put them to sleep. I am so sorry.

Go to another vet right away. This is obviously serious if they are dying. The others are most probably right when they suggest Parvo.
Being babies they will dehydrate very fast.
They will all die if you don;t get them to another vet. Don;t wait until morning. Go tonight.

since the vet examined the puppies call them back and ask what they have or what is wrong with them, my guess is that us maybe parvo or distemper, if they have the chances of surviving are very slim
