The Treatment Plan

We took Osiris to the vet immediately upon recognizing that he was lethargic and vomiting. He was at the vets within an hot of his first symptoms.

I feel that was an important step.

The vet tested him for parvovirus, it was positive. Then they gave him a fluid bolus and anti-nausea shot.

The vet was very sympathetic to our inability to
Pay for
Inpatient treatment.

She worked with us to
Come up with a plan, which involved:

Subcutaneous Fluid bolus of 200ml once a day.

Subcutaneous anti nausea medication.

Antibiotics




We wanted to
Also attempt to integrate some holistic treatments. After searching the Internet and reading for hours... We have compiled quite the comprehensive treatment plan.

The holistic modalities being used are in part from anectodal advice from people we know that have SUCCESSFULLY treated parvo and partially from:

This Page

I have been warned by a caretaker of parvo pups to watch his blood sugar and lethargy. To use KARO syrup or molasses to keep him from crashing.

We have been adding a drop or two of blackstrap
Molasses to his enemas to give him the sugar, iron, and minerals.

He is now getting water and parvaid every hour. In addition to this, we are giving 10cc enemas as directed.
