My puppy shows parvo signs. What can I do if I can't afford a vet?

Question

I have about 7-8 week old puppy and I think she might have parvo. I don't have money for a vet at this moment and time but I'm giving her pedalite at the moment and little but of zofran here and there with it. I'm just wanting to make sure I'm doing the right then until I can get her into the vet and with what I'm doing is it still a good chance she would live...we did give her human food last night so idk if that is affecting her or if she really has parvo...I'm scared and trying my best. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | 1 month and 19 days old

I know you are doing your best but if you want Allie to have the best chance at survival I suggest you get her to a vet ASAP. I realize you have financial constraints but there are many options these days with low cost veterinary clinics, animal shelters and organizations that give grants. ( https://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets ) Yes, Pedialyte and Zofran are fine. I don't know the dose of Zofran you are using - it is dependent on weight and you did not give her current weight so I'm not sure what to tell you with regards to this. It is best that she eat (if she can hold food down without vomiting) - use anything bland like boiled chicken, scrambled or hard boiled eggs, plain rice or pasta (no spices, butter, etc on anything). You can also syringe some low sodium chicken broth into her. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
