My understanding from parvo, is that once the dog catches it, it's up to the dog and it's current health. He needs to go on antibiotics. You need not take him to dog parks, or community parks to avoid him spreading it, but also picking anything else up. Doggy vitamins, and immune support need to be had too. Also ask the vet for vomiting medication so he can keep food in and energy up. Addressing that. Get a good food, and try to transition him VERY slowly since he is sick. Throw out everything of your dogs, except his crate (throw it out after your dog gets better, clean it out everyday) and buy paper solo bowls for food (plastic for water) toss them in a separate bag daily so you can get rid of the disease in your home. Also use bleach to sanitize other surfaces your dog is on/touches. Stimulate appetite with dog gravy (when my dog was ill with an unknown virus we bought them at Petsmart for .20cents a pouch. Literally a gravy you pour on kibble to intise them to eat). Keep exercise and stimulation minimal.

Dog needs lots of IV fluid, anti-emetics, and antibacterials.
Then the dogs body must fight off the virus by itself. More likely than not, it will die.
The vet they took him too obviously told them this too but your fucktard bf probably couldn't afford it or care to do it because he couldn't even pay for a fucking vaccine.

Anyway, he should be reported for animal negligence or not allowed to have animals at all.

He gave a dog a HOME. Gave it food and water. Did one little thing wrong and you gotta flip your shit. Him not be allowed animals at all? Fine. Just let all those dogs he could have adopted in the future get euthanized right away instead of dying later on from a virus having had a happy home life.

Who cares, if you can not be responsible do not own an animal. Many animals get slaughtered to feed stupid shitty dogs.

You parvo is a painful disease. Another person could have adopted that dog and gave it a healthy life. He could've found someone else that was both Responsible and financially stable.
Just because you want to have a dog doesn't mean you should.
Puppies are the most adoptable animals out there, a shelter or foster program could've kept it safe from parvo and found it a home.

But now the dog is dying from a horrible disease. So yeah, maybe it was better off being dead.

>implying dogs only need food and water to live
That's the most basic care that ANYONE can give an animal. So don't act like he did a holy act.
He also could've kept the animal away from parks or other dogs to prevent parvo, but he didn't.

He isn't a saint for taking a dog in. Anyone could've done that.

Owning an animal is pretty much an all or nothing thing. Letting an animal die of illness untreated is not kind, and falls under the definition of neglect, at least in the us. If you can't afford shots and vet care, don't get a pet. You're doing no one favours when you adopt a dog only to let it die of parvo.

I agree with you up to a point, but parvo is a nasty disease and honestly this guy is a fucking ass for not getting boosters. The parvo booster in the feedstore literally cost about ten dollars. That's less than dog food. There's absolutely no excuse in the world for this guys, especially considering this is the SECOND dog its happened too, and parvo is highly contagious on top of it.

If another person adopted the dog, then a DIFFERENT dog would have died.

>>1986219
I bet you that dog was a lot happier with that food and water for a couple years than being straight off dead.

And Wtf are you saying a different dog would have died? Like your boyfriend would've killed another dog?

You're such a retard, no one feels sympathy for you, only the dog for being owned by idiots.

Antibiotics won't do anything to parvo. They can keep down secondary infections though.

dog would've been better off in a shelter/rescue since they get all their shots you moron

your boyfriend killed your dog, or is at least in the process of. he decided to be a cheap irresponsible shit when this animal could have gone to a much better home that gives them the fucking bare bones basics, like you guys obviously couldn't

I work in a shelter and people like you give me damn ulcers

you/your boyfriend aren't saints. you're idiots that are forcing this dog through a slow and painful disease with a low survival rate in a completely avoidable situation just because you wanted to feel like a hero for "saving" a dog that you ended up fucking over instead of doing the responsible thing for the sake of your own ego and feels

fuck you

My dog survived parvo as a 4 month old puppy. He contracted it in the county shelter. The shelter is well-connected in a big city. They consulted with a vet who specializes in supportive treatment of parvo virus. After seeing the dog, the vet agreed that it was special enough to apply a considerable portion of her annual pro bono allowance on him. The vet spent the equivalent of $4750. It took 5 weeks, basically his entire sixth month spent in the hospital.

Today he is a champion agility courser, field trialer, and is working on his search and rescue certification. He already helped to find a lost dog, on a volunteer basis. He is going to find a missing person one day.

Yeah. He was in quarantine awaiting a foster home when he snap tested. They said they didn't know what went wrong but sterilized everything out of an abundance, etc.

He's like Garp's house now. Pre-disastered.

I can sympathize with that but eh county shelters aren't known for their sterilization. We have "puppy protocol" in that if you're even touching one you need to wear full scrubs+gloves, and if they need to be housed at the shelter until a foster picks them up they're put in a crate with a blanket from our puppy supply stash (everything is double sterilized and kept away from other dogs) and they're kept in our front office, away from all other dogs. and they aren't allowed to touch the ground unless it's for potty breaks

but we haven't had anyone contract it yet, so I guess it's working

My dog survived parvo when I was a kid. I remember we stayed home and kept her hydrated with a turkey baster containing Pedialyte of all things. We'd have to give it to her every couple hours. Once she could keep that down, we switched over to turkey broth. She was also on some sort of medication. I hope that helps, I suppose.

My friend managed to nurse a puppy through Parvo. It ended up with brain damage and was always sickly afterward. Could be a chicken-and-egg thing though. Did it catch Parvo because it was already compromised or did it get messed up by the Parvo?
