Just gotten back from the vets tonite with bow, this past few days he has had the runs, with some blood, and been just not himself so took him to the vet tonite, thinking he had eaten something he shouldnt have.

Vet has told me that he suspects Parvo in him, so given him jab of parvo formula, and anti-biotics. and told me to get some electrolite into him tonite as its crucial to keep up his fluid intake.

back to vet tomorrow nite with the other 2 dogs, then back to vet with bow

any advice would be appreciated ?

and anyone in my area beware its going round

WE HAD BOTH OUR ROTTIES CONTRACT PARVO AS PUPS I WOULD INSIST THE VET GET HIM ON A FLUID AND ANTIBIOTIC DRIP ASAP I WAS TOLD MINE WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT TO THE NEXT DAY HAD I NOT GOT THEM THERE WHEN I DID. BOTH MADE A FULL RECOVERY. BUT MY CREDIT CARD WAS £1400 WORSE OFF OUCH!!! GOOD LUCK :luck: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

oh what a shame,its bloody awful parvo,your vet should have kept your poor dog and put him on a drip.Well thats what they do here,i have lost 2 pups to parvo,i wouldnt wish it on any dog,looks like you got it in time,i have seen adult dogs go within 4 days,once they have all pulled through use some jeyes fluid all over the out doors it helps kill it.But the vet should give you some disinfectant used especialy for killing the parvo virus in your yard or garden.You can use it on the kitchen floor as well good luck my heart goes out to you.Keep us updated please. :luck:

I'm so sorry to hear this kev Parvo is a truly wicked disease. I'm afraid I have no real advise apart from to keep bow warm and get as much fluid into him as possible.

Am thinking of you and bow and sending you all the good vibes I can muster. Anything I can do, please let me know :luck:

yeah they been vacinated but the vacine dont stop the virus, it just lowers the chances of them getting it. plus ther is a few different strains of it.

just checked the kennel i have bow in and he has been drinking a little during the nite, aswell as the fluids i have been syringing into him, am of the the vet with him at 9am

flynn is showing signs of the virus now aswell so straight home and back to the vet again with him

will keep you posted

[SIZE=21pt]good luck at the vets hope your dogs, are ok[/SIZE]

unfortunately parvo can lie dormant in the ground for a long time ask your vet if he could reccomend anything to put where your dogs are :luck:

 

[tigger2007]

(w00t) the best thing to kill anything is hyper cloride you get it from a farm supplies.its a very strong bleach as most of the disenfectents aren't strong enough.hope bow gets better soon :luck:

 

[BornToHunt]

thanks for the advice, im just back from the vets with some intensive anti-biotics, the vet i seen today is a lot better than the one i seen last nite,

he has given me instruction to keep putting fluid into him everyhour, feed him a little tuna often and to keep an eye on his motions. has given him a 50/50 chance and the next 5 days are critical

have been cleaning everythign twice once with industrial bleach and the second time with black disenfectant.

will keep you posted
