I've had a pup go through the sickness but I took him to the vet office right off. They kept him hydrated with saline...like a needle with a drip line for several days and of course he was kept from moving.

The constant loss of water from pooping along with a high tempurature is what usually kills the dog.

If you can get him to a vet quickly and be prepared to open your wallet. Sorry to hear of your bad luck.

Dear friends many thanks ,and ill not forget your interest and good wishes ,the illness appeared on saturday ,i cosulted 2 good vets ,both of them experts on hunting dogs ,im treating him with hyperhidratation like we treat the babys ,and shes recovering i hope tomorrow ,she will be eating.As you know im a surgeon ,so i know a bit about hydratation,im using k,and ringer lactato and complex B vitamins too ,with the help of GOD she will recover ,thank you and both of you are invited to hunt ducks with her .Juan

Hi

Parvo is terrible, and I wish you all the best with treathing it.

Seem like you are on the right track with carring for your pup. Just keep it up!

I had some friends that had a whole litter of alaskan huskys that got parvo, thankfully they managed to save the hole litter of 8 pups, but it took weeks of hard work and constant hydrating.

And to everyone with pups or plans to get one, remember to get the vaccine!!!

And again good luck Juan.

Juan,

What's the update on Rhody?

Rhody is prefect since saturday ,shes retrieving the doves we kill here ,and eating a lot ,thank you my friends for the interest.Juan

Juan: You Know that I studied Vet a lot. Why you dont sended me a mail, Mr. Hardhead !!! I very happy you saved your Puppy.Soon i will meet she.

Congrats! I'm glad she is feeling better. Keep us posted on her development.

Have to say, "For a pup that size to take on a bird that's the same size as she (he) is, is fantastic".

Have a French Brit that did that exact same thing with a pheseant and he has turned out to be one great dog.

Shes perfect and competing with my another lab AFRI ,WE KILL MANY DOVES EVERYAFTERNOON AT HOME AND THEY RETRIEVE ALL THE BIRDS .THANK YOU MY FRIENDS FOR THE INTEREST ,I HAVE MANY DOGS AND I LOVE THEM.Juan
