Parvo

April 10th, 2009

parvo-puppiesI have a 12-wk.-old wolf/malamute puppy that was diagnosed with parvo today. Because of financial situations I chose to treat him at home.

I have been giving him 20cc of pedialyte as instructed to by my vet every 2 hrs, along with the medication that was prescribed. It has been 7 hours since he has vomited or had any diarrhea but he is still as lethargic as ever. His temp. this morning was 105.4 and when I took it recently it had gone down some.

I was just wondering if anybody new how long before I can tell if he is recovering or worsening … He is a very special animal and I hope he will make it.

Concerned friend,

Elizabeth
