My DOG is Sick.. We speculate it's PARVO.Am afraid i might lose Him!

If you took your dog to the vet right away and he was fairly healthy before (had been dewormed, etc.) he has a good chance of surviving. Hopefully this will show you and others how serious and vital providing proper medical care for your dog and cat can be. I worked for a vet and saw many puppies die of parvo because their owners didn't vaccinate them. It is also important to get the full course of shots because a very young puppy can still get parvo if it has had only one shot. I hope your puppy is ok.

I am sorry that your dog is sick and I hope he recovers. Are they sure it is parvo? I've included a website for you to look at. I've got to ask, what did you bathe the dog with? I ask because some flea shamppos have been known to make dogs sick. Good luck. http://www.workingdogs.com/parvofaq.htm

I am sorry to hear this and I hope that it will turn out to be just a 24 hour bug.. Dogs can get sick as well - just like us and sometimes it might be "nothing" Seeing an animal sick is not fun - coz you love em and wanna help em but you really cant.. keep us updated!"

I'm so sorry to hear that your puppy is ill. Parvo is a very deadly virus, especially to puppies. Treating it can also be very expensive. When will you find out for sure if that is what he has? If he does have parvo, be sure to discuss with your vet the proper way to clean your home to get rid of the virus. You pretty much need to bleach everything. You and your puppy will be in my thoughts today. I hope he will be ok.

When my puppy was 4 months old he got sick like that. It started with being slugish and then vomitting... then it went to him being very fatigue. He woudln't stand up he woudln't even follow our voices with his eyes when he talked to him. If we stood him up he would fall right over. We panicked! It was labor day weekend and we were up north... we called the closest emergency vet about two hours away... he said it sounded like Parvo... but before we took the long drive and spent all the money to try this... Feed him pedilite with a surenge... 6 oz. every hour if possible. Next to feed him bland foods. We feed Oscar noodels with light parmesean cheese and also we took a can of wet dog food (Use only half the can) just to give it some flavor and this way they will be more incline to eat it. It took about 3 days for him to get back to himself... but with in 5 hours we seen a improvment. I wish the best of luck to you. I know how attatched you get to your friendly K-9's it's hard to see them sick. Good luck. Keep me posted!

Hi! I hope ur dog feels better soon and I hope he didnt have any Parvo at all. I have a pet too and I know how it feels when your pet gets suddenly sick. My Migo suddenly start having diarrhea a few weeks back and made me worry since he never had anything else. So, I just keep researching about stuff to make me feel better. When ur pet come sback home, don't foret to give him regular check up with the vet. :)

Oh dear, I feel so sorry for you. I know that vaccinations are expensive, but it really is important to get your pup vaccinated. Your vet is right, parvo virus is deadly - lets hope that your pup has a good immune system so that he can fight it off. I really really hope he gets better. There's not much you can do except to go and visit him at the vet's, if he's been taken into care there. Give him lots of love and try and think positive thoughts. Good luck with your doggy.

I'm so sorry to read this, and now that you've confirmed it is PARVO with your vet I can only offer you my well wishes and I sincerely hope your pup recovers. Take care and please do post an update.

I'm confused. Did the vet say for sure that he had parvo? Has he started treatment? If you have started treatment, it is usually very effective. It consists of fluid therapy, to replace the lost fluids from his vomiting and diarrhea. Next is antibiotics. I hope the vet is doing this, and I hope your puppy responds well, and gets better.

Not sure what to say...but that doctor didn't made any test on him to be sure, or he just made an asumption? If the vet was true then the only thing you could do is pray for your dog.

Parvo is a bad disease, but don't give up. My dog had Parvo and we gave him a shot to build his system back up. He did live. Don't give up. Most cases are bad, but if you catch it early, the dog will make it.

What type of shampoo did you use? My mom used a flea shampoo on a poodle we had years ago and she was allergic and acted similar to the way you are talking about. Sometimes you can contact your local SPCA for lower cost shots. Parvo is a big problem with dogs. :( Treatment can be costly. I hope that isn't his problem!

Hi. Im so sorry to hear about your doggie. I love dogs. I would just hang in there and try to take him for his regular visits to the vet. We thought our dog had parvo once also and it turned out to only be worms he had and we got rid of them. he was also very sick but once he was medicated and offered moistened food..he was fine. I hope everything comes out okay for that little guy/girl.

I hope your puppy gets better. I have a female dog I have to find a new home for because I'm moving and it is upseting, so I hope everything works out for you. When he gets better i'm sure your going to spoil him a lot more now. I wish you the best of luck

Yes I certainly know how you feel but please do not blame yourself on this I really hope that it is not to late to treat him and that he will get through this Just try and concentrate on him now and hope he gets through it

We got a puppy from the pound once. The little thing came home with parvo and we didn't know it was sick. 2 days after we brought it home, it started throwing up, diarrhea (with blood in it) I felt so bad for the poor thing. We had to have her put down because she was SO sick and the vet didn't believe she would get better. I was so sad :( I hope your puppy does get better. Hopefully it doesn't have another serious!

I am so sorry. I know how attached you can get to a pet. I am a petlover too. We have a dog and cat. I hope everything is ok with your dog. How can you find out for sure if it is Parvo? Are you taking him to the vet?

I am so sorry to hear that your puppy has parvo. It can be a nasty thing. I have seen puppies and full grown dogs pull through it, and I hope yours does too. Just make sure that you keep him hydrated--he will probably drink lots of water while he is sick. I'm sending up prayers to God for you and your 'baby'. Please keep us informed, ok?

I had a puppy with Parvo about the same age as yours. I took her to a vet who had been practicing for years. They kept her and started her on fluids but we also had her sister at home who started getting sick. The vet told us to give her Kaopectate about 2 tablespoons full every 4 hours. The very next day this puppy was feeling much better. When she started eating again we stopped the Kaopectate. Her sister also lived but had to stay at the vet for over a week because she contracted bronchitis also. He said if you will start the Kaopectate as soon as you notice the symptoms it can help. It is not guaranteed but worth trying. Hope your baby gets well.

i hope its not parvo! poor thing. i have heard that if a dog has parvo, you shouldnt get another animal right away because the virus is still around and your next animal could get it. What did the vet say? im not sure what to tell you to do, your vet should know something though. i hope your dog gets better though. good luck to you.
