what are the signs when a parvo puppy needs to be put down, and is parvo painful

Asked May 31, 2012, 03:58 PM — 37 Answers
I Just had to put down our new boxer puppy and we think he either had Parvo or hook worms. We are devestated and are looking into getting a new baby but we want to do it safely. I am trying to figure out which one it was. Before we put him down he was crying like he was in terrible pain and it was so heart breaking. Is this the behavior of a baby puppy dying of parvo? hook worms? Does anybody know? Please help thanks!

My vet told me that Lysol and Pinesol will both kill the Parvo Virsus, which acutally comes from felines. Now don't go getting rid of your kittys if you have some. Would suggest keeping them indoors though. The first things I personally would look for is over sleeping, my vet once told me "puppies have two speeds high an off" , I laughed but he was right. If your doggy is not drinking water after you put fresh down that is your second sign. I have studied since 1991 about herbs, minerals an vitamins an would highly suggest using a natural dewormer such as Diatomaceous Earth or D. E. for short, you can get it from LuminoHome
Hire a private investigator, get proof, go after the person legally. I wouldn't put up with it. Kittys? Doggys?

Your Vet said that doggies catch Parvo from kitties? Interesting "an" I'd like to know more about that. What reference materials did he/she give you?

Oops! You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to JudyKayTee again.

Why do I always have to spread the rep. Stop posting great posts and let me catch up a bit!

Toot is wrong. Cats don't pass on parvo to dogs. The main culprit is infected feces, insects, especially flies, birds, etc. But not cats. In fact, cats aren't a threat at all.

I also love how every post on the dog forum is apparently worms, according to Toot. Worms are only one thing dogs are infected with. One treatable thing. Not everything is worms Toot.

I hate to criticize you after giving you a greenie but the correct words are "doggy" and "kitty." Please - if you are going to be an Expert get the lingo straight.

Sam, you're not the only one by far.

I urge you to read his/her other posts, the ones that are still on the site (many have been deleted).

This person should not be offering advice period. That's my opinion. He/she has yet to be right on any post he/she has written.

And peppermint tea, lysol (apparently lysol kills parvo, according to Toot's vet), and many other herbs, with links on where to buy them.

This person's posts are a huge concern.

If you want your dander to hit the roof, read Toot's other posts.

I would suggest a cup of tea, a nice relaxing song, or a soothing movie instead. I already feel bad that I dragged Judy into this.

Judy was offended from the start - no one dragged me anywhere.

The moon must be full.
