Puppy has Parvo, can't afford vet. What are safe home treatments?

Question

I have a puppy about 10lbs. She has Parvo but I don't have money to take her to vet. So I'm doing home treatment to help treat parvo. How much and how often to give activated charcoal. Can you give it through enemas. How much liquid do you give through an enema to keep her hydrated? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 17 days old | 10 lbs

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Zoe! I do not recommend activated charcoal for parvo. I also do not recommend enemas. Enemas will make the diarrhea worse and will further dehydrate Zoe. There is an outpatient protocol for parvo. You'd have to see the Vet to get the supplies but it is much cheaper then hospitalizing and has a decent success rate. Puppies die from parvo secondary to dehydration and sepsis. All you can do at home with out some veterinary involvement is to gently syringe water and liquefied canned food. I would print this protocol out and have Zoe seen today. Get the at home supplies. I wish you the best! https://drjustinelee.com/using-the-colorado-protocol-for-canine-parvovirus-dr-justine-lee-board-certified-veterinary-specialist/
