Okay, you know the cost. The question is, will you take her to the vet?

Truth is, $800 to treat for parvo is pretty cheap. At least compared to what it would cost in my town.

There's no vet closer than 3 hrs. away? Are you in Montana?

Yes I will take her to the vet. I will try my hardest to come up with the money. I Don't want her to die on us she's like my child she is so spoiled and cute. No matter what it takes I will try.

Thank you so much for the advice. I'm going to take care of my baby. One more question can a child get parvo?

Thank you!!

Wikipedia said something about that --

Humans can be infected by viruses from three other genera from the family Parvoviridae, such as by Parvovirus B19, but no members of the genus Parvovirus are currently known to infect humans.

I hope it all works out.

Keep up with the pedialyte for now. Around 20cc every hour (or call the vet and ask what dose she/he recommends for the size of your dog).

The pedialyte is not only important for hydration but for the electrolytes.

Please let us know how it's goes at the vet.

You guys are so helpful

I will thank you

Her name is charlie by the way my 5 year old nephew named her

Good night

If you have other dogs at home they need to be checked for parvo. Also before another dog visits make sure they have been vaccinated against it. They can get it from the soil of where an infected dog has been.
