Get some colloidal silver Now!!!!!
I had a parvo puppy. sadly she did not survive despite several trips to the vet that day( I switched vets)
diarrhea that smelled terrible, like nothing I had experienced before. I wish u luck!!!!
From what I gather catch it early like you did and the dog is usually OK with treatment. My nephew has a Jack Russell that had it right after he got the dog. He survived it fine with treatment.
At the very least the breeder should refund the purchase price of the dog. They had to know the pup was sick.
I have a very reputable trainer that is a client of mine. He has won on the national and international levels and a couple of his puppies came down with parvo. Yes, they were vaccinated, but there is some weird deal that if they are still nursing the mom’s antibodies in her milk can kill the parvo vaccine. I never knew this until he explained it and a vet, another customer, confirmed.
It is not always a bad breeder/trainer. It is sometimes the luck of the draw.
I had a puppy with parvo. Vet directed me to give it Pedia lite. He recovered fully.
My granddaughter has a beautiful and sweet pit bull who recovered from Parvo. It left her — the dog! — a little goofy (it can impact the brain) but she is completely clear 2+ later.
Good luck with your pup. Hope she makes it!

Do not take him back. That would be a death sentence for him.
Since you caught it early (before he started vomiting) there is a very good chance your puppy will recover fully. I think taking the puppy back to where you got him would be a death sentence.
Just make sure when you get his shots that you tell them that he has had parvo, the vet will make the decision whether to use the killed or the live virus.
Best to you. I hope he recovers fully.
My neighbor had a Yorkie that hat it and that dog survived and lets us know by his yapping every day.
Best of luck to your dog!
We had a dog that recovered very well from Parvo.
Our Shepard pup was in the exact same situation
6 weeks old and seemed healthy when brought home
My wife picked him because he seemed more calm than the other pups
After he stopped eating and shed a lot of weight and a couple of expensive vet visits that traumatized him I researched for a course of action
As he lay on his side dying, I put a wash cloth under his head and dripped Pedia-lite into his mouth with a turkey baster
He began to swallow
40 millimeters at a time, 15 minutes apart for about the first few hours
I started dribbling more and more at greater interval 15 minutes at first then 30 minutes an hour then two keeping the same amount per hour (120 millimeters)
Schenker (our Shep) is 1 1/2 years old and 100 per cent healthy
A fine addition to our household and the extra effort due to him in his most frail condition makes me appreciate him that much more
A quality breeder, one who cares about his/her reputation will either split or fully pay the cost for treatment. Parvo is completely treatable, but it requires dedication to the cause. There can be a lot of ups and downs with it, but most pups make a full recovery.
I had an old English mastiff as a child who came to us from the breeder with Parvo. Sight unseen, they called our vet, explained who they were and ordered the vet to bill them for any costs incurred for the pup’s treatment. He lived a very healthy, happy 11 years with no recurrence, but it took almost 9 months for him to fully recover.
IV fluids are often the only recourse, as you can’t force the little guy to eat or drink. I personally would not give the dog back to the breeder, as they’ll likely let the dog die if they didn’t care enough to check it for Parvo when they adopted it out. If you’re not completely attached, some SPCA branches, HSUS, and even some very humanitarian vets will take the pup off your hands and see it to better health.
You have options. If you’re a soft-hearted person, you can ensure the pup sees better health if you do some research.
Yes. Our mutt, Dub, came to us with Parvo. That was 6 yrs. ago; she did fine with treatment. Was very sick at first, but a few days at the vets and she got well. Healthy ever since.
Fingers and paws crossed for you pup. Hoping for a full recovery for him with only a mild hit to your wallet. Good luck!
My daughter got it once. No kidding. She was lethargic and run down. Put her on antibiotics and after a few days she was fine.
My guess is that the vets will get it under control. They will need to get her fluids up, and make sure she is getting enough nutrition.
Parvo sucks, but it is very treatable.
I hope your puppy pulls through and your other dog is okay, as well. Please keep us posted!
Treatment against Parvo requires maintaining homeostasis. This means treating against septicaemia, dehydration, shock, and any other manifestation that is presented by the rapid cellular death of the alimentary tract cells...from the mouth to the anus. The absolute worst manifestation is the protein losing enteropathy that requires whole blood transfusions, volume expanders and constant electrolyte monitoring. I hate this form because it is the most formidable. Our success rate is around 75%. Nothing makes me happier than to send a puppy home that has almost met the reaper with this disease and nothing is sadder and disheartening after I have worked so hard and still lose a puppy.
Vaccination is the key for some but not the whole answer to the equation. Some dogs still come down with Parvo after a series of vaccinations...the puppies just don't produce immunity. I wish your puppy well.
Just FYI, Parvo mutates from one species to another around every 40 years. Around 1900 it was Aleutian Mink Disease. In the 1930's it mutated into the Feline species, namely the disease Feline Panleukopenia or Feline Distemper. In 1978 at a Collie show in Mobile, Alabama, it mutated and spread worldwide in a matter of months into the canine population. We are overdue for the virus to mutate into another specie. It could be humans because of our close proximity to the domesticated Feline and Canine populations. Just food for thought.
I went through this years ago. The vet said to ensure the dogs bedding was washed with bleach to kill the virus in the home. Awful illness for the dog.
