    I found a phone # you can call 1(914)-630-2267. A company called ParvoGuard. It's an emergency treatment, they guarantee 24hr shipment, costs about $67 plus shipping.

    The site says the treatment will work in 24 hrs.

    I'll keep looking for more info.

    Thank you guys so much but unfortunately he's already been euthanized. The vet told her that he was really bad off and even if he had stayed at the vets office there wasn't a big chance he would have made it. He probably wouldn't have lasted the rest of the day if they had waited. My mom isn't going to be getting any other dogs any time soon.
    My concern now is that when I was in Florida visiting her (while she got the dog) I had my 3 year old Chihuahua with me. They had limited contact (My chi doesn't really like other dogs). She bought Chewie last Monday and we left that Thursday morning. I called the vet and she told me to just keep an eye on his stools to make sure they're not runny. I really hope he doesn't have it. >_<

    Okay some more info I found;

    Liquids. liquids, liquids...! Force liquids every hour. Give pedialyte mixed with 1/2 bottled water. I've had some success with slippery elm bark powder. It sooths and coats the intestine linings. (available at your herbal store)
    Give pepto bismol diluted, Nura Cal or other concentrated convalescent nutrition available at your pet supply. It is a tube that you give about one inch per 10 pounds.
    Keep her warm...I put a child's/baby's jacket on sick pups.

    Oh, I posted at the same time as you.

    I'm so sorry that this didn't have a better outcome. I feel so bad for the puppy and your mom, this is really a hard thing to go through.

    Good Luck and take care.

    I'm so sorry to hear that. Poor little cute guy. Well at least he didn't have to suffer anymore. :(

    It would be a good thing for you to treat your dog ahead of time just in case! It doesn't matter if they didn't have very much actual contact. The virus would have been all around. I assume your dog has been vaccinated? If not, don't wait for ANY symptoms. Get to your vet immediately!

    Again, so sorry to hear about little Chewie. Such a sweetie! :(
