    Does my dog have Parvo?
    I have a 7 month Weiner dog and he's been sick for 2 days after those 2 days he's been vomiting a lot probably 8 times in one day two days after he's been having diarea (Sorry for my spelling) but not average diarea he had blood in his diarea and it have an awful smell too it so I went on my laptop looked for more info and it said "When it stops Eating/Drinking" He have not ate yet but he's drinking a lot of water but my real question here is. Is he recovering from parvo does he have parvo?

    I don't think dogs recover from Parvo all on their own. You need to get him to the vet and find out exactly what's going on.

    He has a need to go to the vet... no other choice here. This is not something you are going to cure on your own, especially if it is Parvo. Take the dog to the vet!

    You're not going to get any sympathy here about not being able to afford a vet bill. You can ask for credit or find some way to get your dog the care it needs, like slowly paying off the bill. If you can't afford to care for your pet properly, you shouldn't own a pet. It isn't fair to the dog.

    This is why I normally skip over the sick pet questions...

    Can't afford it... I get tired of hearing that people will let an animal suffer and die because they can't afford it. Maybe that should have been considered already before the dog was taken in.

    I had a sick dog that I couldn't afford to take to the vet... I sold things to do it. There is always a way.


    If this was your kid, would you let him/her suffer and die because you couldn't afford it?

    That's very sad. Why do you have a pet if you can't take care of it?

    Your parents should not have let you get a dog if they weren't willing to pay vet bills on it.

    I don't blame you in this case but I do blame them.

    The important thing here is to look after the pups best interest, in this case he needs a vet, if it is parvo and you can't afford to treat him then at least you have other options after gathering a little more insight on the disease itself and his status physically.
    To have him seen and run the test to check for parvo should run you somewhere between $100- $150. That's bottom line in my area, if it is in fact parvo that figure will change drastically should you decide to treat him.
    Call your local shelters, Humane society, rescue groups, a local vets' office should know of groups that provide help when needed.
    You will have to do the work, no one is going to seek you out and hand you the money.
    Your dad can apply for care credit, it can be done pretty quickly, no waiting, the vets office will have that information.
    There are certainly things that you don't need that you could sell to raise the money, a family member who could help out perhaps.

    We cannot diagnose online. In order to determine what your puppy has, we'd have to run tests. We can't do that online.

    Your only option is to take the dog to a vet.
