Parvo Symptoms and Using Parvaid as a Treatment

Adrienne is a certified dog trainer and former veterinarian assistant who
partners with some of the best veterinarians worldwide.

Rotties are prone to Parvo. Below is a product you can check out to help your
pup.

What Is Parvo?

Parvo is a devastating disease that affects all dogs, but puppies in
particular. A puppy affected with Parvo has low chances of survival. The
constant vomiting and diarrhea will take a toll on his health and may
exacerbate an already vulnerable immune system. The puppy will become
dehydrated pretty quickly, and drinking may further upset their stomach and
cause further vomiting. For this reason, it is better to offer ice chips.

A dehydrated puppy will quickly become lethargic, and the skin on his back and
shoulder blades will not snap back in seconds when lifted. It will return into
position slowly, or worse, will remain lifted up.

Chances of survival are slim, and most puppies require immediate IV fluids and
medications to beat the odds. The expenses of putting an IV line plus the
hospitalization can easily amount to thousands of dollars.

With this tough economy, many people may opt to put the poor puppy down.

How to Help Your Pup Manage Parvo

This is where Parvaid comes into place. When people were unable to afford
veterinary care, they opted to give Parvaid a try, hoping for a miracle. With
an 85% success rate, when Parvaid id supplied early enough, the miracle may be
closer to reality.

Parvaid has many success stories from its website, and with a bottle costing
less than $50, it certainly will not hurt to give it a try if the prohibitive
costs of veterinary care are not a choice.

Parvaid may be found in some pet stores that supply Amber Technology products.
It is best to call in advance, prior to heading out the door. The product may
not be easy to find. Parvaid may also be shipped via mail order. But when time
is the essence, this may not be a good option.

Parvaid is recommended to be used with Vibactra Plus for a better treatment
choice. The use of Parvaid will not hurt the puppy if he has another gastro-
intestinal issue that is not related to Parvo. Parvaid is a natural remedy
made of peppermint, spearmint, chamomile, plantain, echinacea, and serval
other herbs.

Parvaid may also be used as a preventative for dogs that were just exposed to
other dogs sick with Parvo.

Parvo is truly a devastating disease. My friend’s dog had to be put down
because she could not afford the vet trip. While Parvaid in some cases cannot
replace the fluids, electrolytes, and supportive treatments provided by your
vet, it is certainly another option for those owners that are looking for an
alternate treatment plan.

Parvo puppy home remedies
Let me start off by saying that Parvo is a disease that needs not to be under
estimated, it is highly contagious and very deadly. This article is for those
that have already tried treatment at the vet’s…

This article is accurate and true to the best of the author’s knowledge. It
is not meant to substitute for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, prescription,
or formal and individualized advice from a veterinary medical professional.
Animals exhibiting signs and symptoms of distress should be seen by a
veterinarian immediately.

Questions & Answers

Question: How long can a dog live with Parvo?

Answer: This is a difficult question to answer. It would depend on a
variety of factors such as the immune system of the dog, how dehydrated he
gets, whether he is eating and drinking, how much vomiting and diarrhea he
gets, the size of the dog, the level of care the dog gets, age of the dog
(adults vs puppy) etc.

As you can see, there is no simple answer to the question of how long does a
dog may live with parvovirus. What we know for sure though is that left
untreated, parvo is a potentially deadly disease, especially in young puppies.
If your dog has parvo, please see the vet at your earliest convenience.

Question. I “had” a 7 – 8 mo. old puppy that just died after 4 days of being
sick. She exibited some signs of parvo(vomiting,lethargy,no appetite had to
force feed/but she would spit it out) but not the diarrhea (?) infact she took
a diarrhea crap the night before she died & that’s the only crap she took in
four days. That’s the only thing that’s makes me think it wasn’t parvo, is
there another diseae with similar symptoms to parvo that matches .

Jessie Harrell-

Though it is “possible” for a parvo survivor to fall prey to this virus again,
it is highly unlikely for such a thing to happen. Contracting parvo, while
horrible for both dog and owner, provides long term-if not life term- immunity
from doing so again. Far better protection than the vaccine provides infact.
If you were or still seeing symptoms that mimic Parvo, you are most likely
dealing a parasitic protozoa- most likely either coccidia or giardia. Both can
result in vomiting, diarrhea & anorexia, which if left unattended will result
in dehydration, lethargy and even death- same presentation as Parvo. I hope
your issue has already been resolved & that your baby is doing well!

I had wonderful success with home treatment of 8 [at one time] of my babies
with Parvaid and Vib Plus…along with loads of cleaning, laundry, at home
i.v. & enema treatments…and very little sleep! Lol. Everyone of them
survived and now 2 years later they are happy, healthy and cuddling with me as
I type this.

My 6yr old Chihuahua- miniature pincher is a parvo survivor at the time he
contracted the virus he weighed 3 1/2lbs so we thought for sure there was no
way he was gonna live thru it becuz of what the emergency room vet told us and
she told us that we had 2 options and they were put him to sleep, or spend
thousands on a treatment that wasnt even a guarantee which was hospitalization
with bone marrow transplants and blood transfusions which we absolutely didn’t
have the money to do so not an option we could do, or surrender my dog to the
humane society and if they had the funds they would treat him which was a big
if. I said noway will i do any of those this dog is my baby hes like my child
i said i need to go figure out how to save him. So the er vet gave him a high
dose of antiobiotics and fluids thru an IV. Went home and the next morning
called a regular vet for another opinion and they gave us our lifeline the
only hope to save our little comet in our price range which was to come to the
vet everyday for the next 4days Get IV fluids and antibiotics and to force
feed him thru a suringe 1st stage baby food turkey or chicken and push as much
Pedialyte that we could, show him lots of love and attention. I know my dog
felt the love we had for him and thats part of the reason i still have him
here todayThis treatment cost us $250 so you see dont let them scare you into
expensive treatments when at least the home treatment they are home with the
people they love instead of all alone , sick and scared giving up the will to
fight

Jessie, from what I heard, it is difficult because the dog has built
antibodies, but it is still possible if the dog’s antibody titer is not high
enough to fight-off an infection with a higher viral load thanwhat the immune
system can handle.

Jessie Harrell on November 14, 2016:

Is it possible to transmit the parvo to a dog that was diagnosed with the
virus after being treated by the vet?!?

Jessie Harrell on November 14, 2016:

Can’t seem to find an answer to my question..maybe someone will react to the
question if I post it n what not..so the question is “once diagnosed with the
parvovirus n properly treated by the vet is it possible for that dog after
treatment to get parvo again?!?

Daisy on September 04, 2015:

I want to know how many drops of paxxin I can give my dog and in how many
hours and for how long do I give it to him ( he is 7 months )

Adrienne Farricelli (author) on February 09, 2013:

Renee, if you read the description for parvaid it does say it can be used as a
preventive. Of course, this doesn’t mean your pup can be around other puppies
with parvo and not get it, I would be concerned about using the product in
such a way as it’s not 100% just as vaccines and other products can’t be. Here
are some helpful reads; best wishes!

Adrienne Farricelli (author) on July 16, 2012:

Sorry, to hear that. Has your puppy seen the vet?

Erick on July 16, 2012:

It didn’t work for me and I tried all steps.

Adrienne Farricelli (author) on March 01, 2012:

Great to hear it worked for you! Thank you for sharing and best wishes!

I was skeptical about these products too, but when my new puppy got parvo and
the vet said his chance of pulling through was very slim as he was already
passing pure blood, I asked him if he thought that Parvaid would work. He
suggested that I can try it or put the puppy to sleep.

Well, I bought Parvaid and Vibactral Plus and last Thursday I started the
Parvaid treatment every 15 minutes for the 1st hour and then every hour and
Vibactral Plus 4 times a day along with Pedialyte. At first the puppy started
vomiting a lot and not keeping any liquid down, I read that if he did not keep
the liquid down I could try giving him an enema but I would try that as my
last resort. What I did instead, was only give the puppy a full syringe of
Pedialyte every hour, as I thought giving him little liquids he would not
vomit…and it worked. I did the hourly treatment for 2 1/2 days…then he
started looking better, wagging his tail so I thought I would try giving him
some food. I bought Pet Select refrigerated food from Walmart, which I thought
looked really good and smelled even better. It had minced chicken, liver,
carrot, peas and rice and I mashed/pureed everything together and started
putting tiny bits into his mouth. He swallowed some of it so I left the food
in his bed for him and monitored him after half hour he got up and started
licking at his food. After 2 more doses he was eating on his own. I continued
to give him the doses but only 4 times a day. Anyway long story short, today
is Wednesday and he is up running around and playing with the cats and
barking. Today, he started back on his regular diet, regular solid poop, but I
am still giving him only the Vibactral plus, 4 times a day and will continue
until Friday. I called my vet and gave him the good news, he was very
surprised that he came back as he looked really bad when the vet saw him.

My pup had only received his 1st set of shots when he got parvo (1 week
after). The vet suggested waiting a full month before he gets his other shots.
We did not think he would make it but persistence, faith, hope and love not
forgetting PARVAID and VIBACTRAL PLUS worked for us. We are happy to get our
little one back, the vet did say after getting through this he would have a
very strong immunity. So please don’t give up, the products did work for us
but you have to follow the instructions and forget about sleep!

Happy to hear Parvaid helped your puppy get better from Parvo disease!

Doug on January 30, 2012:

Within two day’s of starting Parvaid along with plain Pedialite, and
Colloittal Silver my Rottie was playing, drinking, and eating. Saved me over
$1100 in vet bills.

Guest on October 05, 2011:

Parvaid works!!!! If you cant afford the Vet bills, give it a try. It saved my
dog!

Does not work

Adrienne Farricelli (author) on May 25, 2009:

Thanks for the update, I am very fond of various products produced by Amber
Technology. Indeed this article was written more than a year ago. Therefore,
it seems like the best up to date combination would consist of the following
kit: Parvaid, Vibactra Plus, Life Cell Immune Support and Doggie Pain Relief.

I strongly agree about the consequences of over vaccinating pets, and fully
applaud the AVMA for suggesting them every 3 years versus annually.

I never heard of the Parvo shot directly giving Parvo but I heard of it in
some cases lowering the pup’s immune system temporarily and creating a window
of opportunity for the pup to become vulnerable to Parvo. This especially
seems to apply to when the shot contains the live virus (the most effective)
versus the killed version. However, I would still highly recommend these
series of shots for all puppies.

I really appreciate your comments as I was not aware of these new products.
Kind regards,

Alexadry

While the information in this article may have been correct at the time it was
first written, the Parvo virus has since evolved into a much more aggressive
strain. This means that Parvaid and Vibactra Plus are no longer enough to
treat this virus successfully.

The manufacturer’s current requirement is for four different products, but in
our experience, having dealt with over 850 cases of Parvo since March 2007, a
fifth product is also required.

Also, most vaccinations are ineffective against the 2c strain (which is why we
are seeing many adult dogs that may even be fully-vaccinated getting Parvo,
and dying if not treated). (Not only that, Parvo shots can actually give your
dog full-blown Parvo, and, like all vaccinations, will cause long-term health
issues such as a weakened immune system, chronic inflammation and cancer.)
