SARGE and COY

This is the story of our dog SARGE and his battle with PARVO.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

lots of old towels
crate
pedia lyte
gator ade
bleach
insulin syringes

Step 1

Our 9 month old Beagle SARGE came down with Parvo last spring. We took him to the Vet and to help us save him from PARVO with only a slim chance of survival the Vet wanted 1200$ up front before they would even treat him. We were devastated and took our dog home and prepared for the worst. Then a neighbor of mine came over with suggestions to try that he used on his dogs with success in treating PARVO.
First up front let me tell you this isnt going to be an easy job it takes patience and a strong stomach and lack of sleep but it worked.
Keep the dog in a confined area .HE will be throwing up and having bouts of diarrhea . Place newspapers and towels down that can easily be thrown away.
Step 2

Make a mixture in a 1 gallon container half water ,half pedia lyte,or gator ade, and 1/2 teaspoon bleach. Shake mixture well and pour into his bowl for drinking . He will probably not drink ,but if he feels like it make sure this is what hes drinking. Basically what we found out is that the dog usually dies of dehydration from PARVO so if you can keep him hydrated he has a chance of making it .
Step 3

Heres the part you will not like but it works. Take the syringe smallest needle gauge possible . {i got mine from my mother in law who is a diabetic} Fill the syringe with 100cc of the water/pedia lyte mixture. Now you will have to lift the dogs skin right behind his front shoulders on his back . Gather up the lose skin and SLOWLY inject the water mixture 2 times every 2 hours. JUST REMEMBER 2 injections every 2 HOURS.If he continues to vomit its ok because he is being hydrated through out his body using the syringe method. CONTINUE THIS for at least 24 hours or more if needed.

on 11/10/2009 i agree with the pedialyte. my father in law got his dog through with the pedialyte but you have to continously force the dog to drink it. but i dont know about the rest.

on 10/6/2009 I disagree with ironhelixx. I believe it was because of this remedy this dog survived. I see the logic in the bleach. They use that in our city drinking water to kill bacteria. I would have used a product called 0x-e-drops instead of bleach, which is an anti-bacterial anti-viral anti-fungal drops which you can find on nzymes.com to get the full information on it. I also gave my puppy a product called Dyne which is a high colorie easy digestable gel that is for sick pets or ones that have had surgery or are working dogs such as hunting dogs that burn a lot of calories. It's not thick like Nutri-cal. Although I did give the electrolytes and the dyne by mouth all day long and especially after they would throw up or diarrhea, I understand why you would do it under the skin. I'm sure you made sure everything was sterilized before giving the injections. Please believe me when I say what yo...

on 8/31/2009 We had a pup die of this awful virus this month. It was partly our fault from ignorance about the disease. I never had a dog get it before, but I have only had one other dog since I have been on my own. He has aways been very healthy. We moved about 2 months ago. When we moved here our neighbors told us it was in the ground around here. Our pup didn't get vaccinated soon enough, because the people we got him from never did it. He only got one set of shots, before he got parvo. We couldn't afford to let the vet keep him, we brought him home with lots of medicine, but he died that night. If had known about this home treatment I would have tried it, because he only had a small chance of living anyway. I just want to urge everyone to make sure that the pups they bring home are vaccinated before they come home. Our pup died a horrible death, and I don't ever want to go through that again....

on 7/6/2009 This is bad advice. If you inject non-sterile fluids into your dog you are looking for additional infection and abscesses. Also the electrolyte supplements are very good but the bleach is a very bad idea. I'm glad your dog survived but I believe it was despite this remedy not because of it.
