Poor girl. There is no medication strictly for parvo, but treatment consists of supportive care medication such as antibiotics, anti-nausea medication (Cerenia), fluid therapy (subcutaneous or IV fluids), vitamin supplements, and if needed pain medication. These are all medications that will require a veterinary prescription. They are also all injectable medications in the beginning of treatment since most parvo pets will not tolerate anything given by mouth. I do hope that you can work with a veterinarian in your area to help your cute puppy Gucci recover form this deadly disease. I wish you all the luck moving forward. Take care. : )
