A Cure for Parvo if caught on time....
Posted: Saturday, March 21, 2009

I looked everywhere on the Internet to find something that I could do for my little pup. She usually was so peppy and hyper. She is a Chihuahua after all! But she seemed different and I couldn't place my finger on what the problem was until... She had several spots that she started with the runs, which smelled worse than any other accident that she has had. I began cleaning one area and there was another for me to clean. Then came the gagging. She threw up several times and it wasn't like a hairball or anything... she actually threw up what appeared to be phlegm covered in foam. I was beside myself on what to do for her. She laid around not wanting to move... not even to play with her favorite ball. She just picked up her head and let it drop back down. When I'd pick her up, she was limp. As I hugged her, you could feel the heat from her body all over. I didn't have the money to take her to the vet, but I couldn't just watch as she wasted away.....
While researching the Internet for possibilities as to what was her problem, I rediscovered Parvo. I had been through this with another dog who went to the vet and they had to keep overnight. They charged me almost $1100 to save her. And while I realize that they did do just that, I couldn't afford to have it happen again. See Parvo is a fatal disease to dogs... Kinda like AIDS to humans or Leukemia to cats. It attacks the intestines, bone marrow, and white blood cells in dogs. This can cause them to go into shock and with all probability die from the dehydration that comes from loss of appetite and throwing up as well as the loose stools. In fact, 80% of the dogs that have Parvo actually have died within the first 4 days of showing any symptoms. They've died because of dehydration that the disease leads to. But there is a cure that doesn't involve the high cost of the vet if it is caught early enough in the disease.... as I found while doing my research...
It really is simple. There are several remedies out there... but this one surprisingly did the trick for my little one and I use it still to this day as a preventative measure so she stays in good health from this and other sicknesses out there... (By the way... This is good for humans too...)
This is cost efficient and well worth the money that it does cost to save their life..... My Chihuahua was up playing within the first hour and completely off the medicine later that night. Also this works as a preventative measure as well. It's all natural so there are no harmful side effects. I give this to both of my dogs once per month to ensure that this doesn't happen again.
Hope you have the same benefits. Good luck! Hope yours does just as well....
Things you will need, include:
- 1 cup of Pedialyte - Used to replenish them of their needed hydration
- 2 tea bags of Peppermint with Spearmint tea (e.g. Bigelow's Mint Medley) or 1 bag of Peppermint and 1 bag of Spearmint tea. (NO CAFFEINE) - Used for easing stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting. It also aids digestion and diminishes gas and bloating.
- 2 tea bags of chamomile (NO CAFFEINE) - Used to calm the pet. It helps to lower their fever causing them to feel better and increase their appetite
- 1 teaspoon of honey - Used to boost the blood sugar levels to provide energy and white cell formation
- 2 capsules of Echinacea (found by the vitamins in any pharmacy) - Used for building immunities.
- 250mg of MSM with Glucosamine (found by the vitamins in any pharmacy) - Used for rebuilding cartilage and joints, giving them their pep back and reducing their pain.
- Syringe to administer the medicine.
Heat 1 cup of Pedialyte until it is hot...Add the 2 tea bags of mint tea, 2 tea bags of chamomile tea, empty 2 capsules of Echinacea, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 250mg of MSM with Glucosamin... Stir it well and let it cool for 20 minutes.
The tea is best if given warm so run the oral syringe under warm tap water before giving the dose.
Follow the dosing chart to ensure the proper dosing for your pet.
Give one dose, wait 15 minutes, give another dose, then give a dose every hour after that until noticeable improvement.
Keep in mind... like a child whose fever comes down after taking medicine... they will show signs of improvement and then fall ill again. Just keep with the recommended doses for at least a 24-hour span.
Give one dose, wait 15 minutes, give another dose, then give a dose every hour after that until noticeable improvement.

More commentsKey Karen. we found out today that our puppy has parvo. We went to the vet but they gave us an estimate of $1200. We are both students and can't afford that. My girlfriends aunt is a vet and we got some medication from her. I have to give him a shot every 12 hours which makes him feel better for a little while but after 2 hours he is back to being miserable again. She also told us to use chicken broth which he throws up 10 minutes after we give it to him. I just went to walmart and got all the ingredients. I gave him his first dose about 20 minutes ago and he seems to keep it down. Thank you so much for this information.
Andre and JenniferHi, My name is Whitney and i just wanted to know if when you gave your puppy this remedy did he do good for awhile and start acting like he felt bad?
I know Karen said its just like a little kid how they'll start feeling bad again, but i just want to make sure because my puppy felt great this morning and now she is a little down
she's better than yesterday but not how she was this morning.
Thanks
Hi, Karen.
I have a black lab puppy and she is 9 weeks old and got parvo. I found your remedy and immediately went and bought all the stuff. Today she is almost back to her old self. She's still sleeping a lot but she eats and drinks and plays.
She hasn't went poo yet though and she ate about 7 this morning.
How long before I can take her back outside to use the bathroom and such?

I found your article too late but it is helpful...I have a pitbull who just recently got all those symptoms. He's still a baby and well we didn't know what to do to help him so we took him to the pet clinic. They told us he had parvo and well they gave him two shots and put him on special medication so he can stop throwing up and so he can start eating. Once he's out of the clinic...is there any chance that the disease can come back?....Do I just have to feed him right and keep him active???....He wasn't eating and wasn't playful anymore.he would just lay there..looking sad. Then I noticed he would throw up yellow liquid and his poop was liquidy too with worms on it so I don't know if that was because sometimes we would give him human food or we would give him chicken bones...is that bad for dogs???
Hi there
i have just read this and im so glad you found a cheaper way instead of the vets thank you for this recipe im goinq to use it on my puppy as this is my first time being experienced with parvo but im glad internet is the answer. THANKS HEAPS
starting it now wish me luck will let you know my outcome
Thank you so much karen for the recipe. My son is 7 yrs old and we aleady had 2 dogs pass fromparvo I thoight I would end up loskng my sons too but I kept searching the internet hoping to find a cure and I found yours my sons dog has been on your recipe now for 2 days and is eating and can run and play thank you my son is so happy now
Thank you so much for this article. My puppy was around other dogs and recently found out he has parvo. We didn't start giving him the recipe until after he had had it for 3 days... He literally looked like he was going to die any second... He had a bloody stool and had vomited nonstop any liquids he drank or was given. We started this and immediately saw results by 4pm! He was up running around and playing like our normal puppy, granted he's still not eating dog food or solid foods we've been giving him the recipe yesterday and today and he's able to eat his doggie treats and some canned food. Thanks so much I hope he survives! He seems so much better than before... Went from sunken in eyes, gray skin color, cold extremedities, blood shot eyes, pupils dialated and nonstop shaking to running around almost back to completely normal. The vet quoted us $350 for one night not even including medicine or any other costs... Said overall it would be at least $750... It's a miracle to have found this recipe. Again, thanks so much.
Godbless
