I recently took by twelve week old yorkie along with four St.Bernard puppies into my vets office, my yorkie recieved ind third round of shots and the puppies their second worming all were given a clean bill of health that day from the vet. My Yorkie got sick on the way home. i just thought it was fromm the shot. He didn’t get better so the next day I took him back to the vet, who told me he had either corna virus or parvo. He gave me some meds. sent me home told me we had caught it in time...Read the full article

Hi I am Daveyo.

Be advised to please take action now yourself and follow everything here. The treatment is a confirmed success against Parvo.

Most important for you to know is Parvo is a very contagious disease. Take a look at the stools and it should be very close to what I have on my site at [moderator note: website address has been removed]. Look at the pics of what parvo stools look like.

Feel free to also see the medical protocol regarding parvo and do it exactly as described. You need to have a good VET that will read and take action to this medical procedure and nothing else.

Get away from that idiot VET you have now.

Here is the medical protocol:

Parvo. It is easily treated. Secret is fluids. Lots of fluids. Must be given through an IV.

First-> 100 cc per lb per 24 hrs and then some.(up to 200 cc/lb if necessary)

Watch the Wt. of the dog to know if more fluids are necessary)

Any diarrhea or vomiting the VET has to estimate the amount of fluid and add to the above.

Second-> Need 3 antibiotics. We use Penicillin G and Baytril injectable along with Pectolyn with Tylan(Tylocin injectable) antibiotic orally. (10 cc injectable Tylan in 8 oz of Pectolyn and use this as about 5 cc twice daily to dogs in the 20 lb size) Works well.

Third -> Nupogen if the WBC falls to less than 6000. It absolutely bounces the WBC upwards of 12 thousand within 24 - 48 hrs. In parvo this is very important. Use in 0.1cc increments and then only once daily for 2 - 3 days.


Fourth _> Tamiflu---very important. We use a 75 mg capsule Dissolve this in saline or water and use 1 mg/lb twice daily for about 3 days. Seems to turn the virus off.

As to the Fluids. LRS or MRS combination complete fluids best. But saline is ok as long as you replace K+. This is lost in the diarrhea.

Antibiotics. Depends on the size of the dog Penicillin 300 mg/cc we use 1 - 1 1/2 cc per 10 lbs twice daily. Baytril is l00mg/cc we use 1/2 cc per 10 lbs twice daily.
Nupogen. Very potent medication. Use carefully. Use in 0.1 cc increments and then only once daily for 2 - 3 days.


In Parvo the total WBC is very important as you are dealing with secondary BACTERIAL infection from the inflamed intestine. Here the WBC is critical. Both Neutrophils and Lymphocytes. Parvo definitely attacks the animals bone marrow and wipes out the WBC so Nupogen is critical to be given also to get the immune system back up quickly.

Epogen for RBC's, Neupogen for WBC's

When both parvo and distemper are caught simultaneously the death rate is 100%. Sorry.

NO, NDV or the serum work in PARVO CASES. Has absolutely no effect.

Doc and Daveyo

Feel free to let me know if your a success. Also any stools that are present on that floor, USE BLEACH FORMULA 1-30/ example 5 gallon pail use a full bottle of bleach 1 litre and make sure the area is clean. Also keep your shoes outside of the house because the virus will be on that as well unless you dip it in the bleach solution.

Do have all your dogs checked immediately for any Parvo and the VET should use the Elisa test and that is most accurate. You should be able to get your answer inside an hour if the VET does such test.

Easiest way to check for dehydration is lift the skin of the animal and then let it go. If it sticks or returns back very slowly this is a sure sign of dehydration and you need to immediately get that animal hydrated quickly. If it snaps back your fine.

Good luck

Daveyo
