Treating Parvo at the veterinary clinic:
- IV fluids to counter dehydration
- Antibiotics to prevent septicemia
- Probiotics to replenish the normal intestinal flora
- Injectable vitamins, especially Vitamins B & C to help the immune system
- Colostrum to provide antibacterial elements to fight the infection within the gut
- Glucosamine to coat the intestines
Treating Parvo at home:
Give dogs with parvo disease Fast Balance-GI to repopulate the damaged intestine with good bacteria. Provide frequent feeding of small amounts of warmed chicken broth. Once the vomiting has stopped, add a mashed potato (no butter or salt) to the warmed broth and continue feeding small amounts. If your dog continues to improve, add a tiny amount of chicken to the broth and mashed potato. For a dog allergic to chicken, try dilute cottage cheese and rice or a form of rice baby food that is acceptable.

Human drinks, such as Gatorade and sports drinks, are not ideal for rehydrating pets because they are high in carbohydrates. They can be used for a short period. Meat broth is better for dehydrated or sick pets.
