Question

Can a dog survive from Parvo virus even if they are unvaccinated? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 4 months and 2 days old | 5 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

It can survive, but parvo is a very deadly disease so there is a good chance the dog can die. To have the best chance of survival, your dog does need to be hospitalized. Parvovirus treatment consists of aggressive supportive care to control the symptoms and boost your dog’s immune system to help him win the battle against this dangerous disease. Dogs infected with parvovirus need intensive treatment in a veterinary hospital, where they receive antibiotics, drugs to control the vomiting, intravenous fluids and other supportive therapies. Best of luck.
