    Parvo
    We took our puppy to vet and she was diagnosed with parvo. We have been giving her antibiotics but still having to force feed and hydrate her physically. It has been 2 days now and she has not made a bowle movement at all. What should I do?

    The best thing would be for your dog to be in the care of the vet. They can place her on intravenous, and keep a very close eye on her.

    The biggest concern with a dog that has parvo is dehydration. You said that you're force feeding her. Is she keeping the food down? What are you using to hydrate her? Pedialyte is the best suggestion, it's a formula used for infants, and available at any drug store.

    I would highly recommend that you contact your vet and follow whatever he/she recommends. Herbal remedies should also be discussed with your vet before you try them on your dog.

    I wish you the best of luck, and hope that everything works out.
