My dog has parvo, distemper, and liver issues. Can she survive this?

Question

My dog has four diagnosis. Parvo, canine distemper, protozoa, and liver problem. It's her second day fighting and taking five vaccines each day. I still have hope because I can see her fighting. Even though her responses are limited. Please I need an assurance if she can survive this. What can I do at least to help her? Lethal injection is not an option.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I’m so sorry to hear about Hachi. These are very serious diagnoses. Even with aggressive treatment, some puppies do not survive parvo or distemper. Having both at once is very serious and I would give Hachi a poor to grave prognosis. To have a liver problem on top of that could be even more serious, depending on what type of liver problem it is. Your post says 5 vaccines per day but I am thinking you mean 5 injections per day. These would include perhaps fluids, antibiotics, anti nausea medications, etc. Vaccines against distemper and parvo would not have any effect at this time and I do not recommend them for any sick pet. By all means it is your right to keep going with treatment but if she is getting worse instead of better or not improving after 5 days, I would recommend humane euthanasia. Dying of dehydration or continual seizures or liver failure are all horrible ways to go and are all possibilities for Hachi. Best wishes to you and Hachi.
