Can I give my dog with parvo human Zofran, Tylenol, or Pepto Bismol?

Question

My dog is a 7 month old border collie mix who weighs 30 lbs and he was found parvo positive last night (3/21/2018) the vet gave him fluids and a nausea shot but we took him home because the vet is out of our budget. We are giving him pedialite through a syringe every half hour for fluids he has puked and it was all liquid but I have read that people have success giving dogs people Zofran and children’s Tylenol and pepto bismol. Is it safe to give my dog that and if so what dosage? Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 5 days old | 30 lbs

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Charlie! Zofran is used off label for protracted vomiting, though giving pills to a vomiting dog will not go well. All medications have to be prescribed by a doctor who has seen Charlie, it is illegal for us to provide dosing to a dog we haven't examined. . There are other choices that your Vet can provide for you to use at home. Also pepto bismol can be used off label. Giving oral medications to a vomiting dog isn't ideal and it is very likely he will vomit the pepto. Do not use Tylenol in dogs, especially dogs that are dehydrated and have severe GI disease. Vomiting and diarrhea are part of parvo virus. Most puppies survive, about 80-90% with Veterinary guidance. Even at home. I have attached a hand out you can bring to your local vet to help get you the best medications for at home care. I hope this helps and I wish Charlie a speedy recovery! https://drjustinelee.com/using-the-colorado-protocol-for-canine-parvovirus-dr-justine-lee-board-certified-veterinary-specialist/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/pepto-bismol/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/tylenol/
