Not Treating at Home:

**• **Why can't you treat it at home? The simplest reason is that every dog needs 40~60ml of water per kilogram per day. How will you replenish this water when they are vomiting and diarrheaing? This can lead to dehydration and hypoglycemia.

What Can the Hospital Do?

  1. First of all, fluid replacement, correction of acid-base balance, and use of antibiotics. Parvovirus cannot be killed by medication; the dog's body must produce antibodies to defeat it and then recover.

  2. The most important thing is to replenish sugar, water, and energy for the dog through intravenous fluids. Use antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria that take advantage of the dog's weakened immune system. Give the dog time to concentrate on producing antibodies to fight the virus.

  3. Actively cooperate with the treatment to survive the four days after the onset of the disease. The chance of survival will double.
