Could You Cope With An Outbreak Of Parvovirus?
Posted by Rae and Mark under: Health .
Here are a few facts about Canine Parvovirus (also known as CPV, Parvo virus, or more commonly known as Parvo) that you might not know about:
-
The problem is, once your dog has been infected, there’s about 3-15 days when you will see no symptoms, but the virus is consuming large amounts of bone marrow, then moving on to consume and destroy huge amounts of cells in the intestines - a lot of damage occurs during this period.
-
When your dog becomes infected and shows any of these symptoms (yellow frothy vomit, diarrhea [with or without blood], lethargy/no energy, no appetite, wobbly, dehydration, very depressed, etc.) then he may only have a few hours to 4 or 5 days left if he is not treated immediately.
-
Dogs can easily become infected in any number of ways, e.g. touching infected bodily fluids (vomit, urine, saliva, etc.), touching waste products (fecal matter), nose-to-nose contact, from your clothes, shoes, car tires, insects, birds, or other critters.
-
Parvo can be in the ground from a few months to twenty (20) years.
-
Parvo is extremely hardy: it can survive boiling water (212 degrees F or 100 degrees C) and freezing temperatures (32 degrees F or 0 degrees C).
-
If your dog does indeed have Parvo and you take him to the vet, you should be prepared for a bill of anywhere from $500 to over $10,000 USD per dog, and your vet will probably only give the dog a 50% chance at survival.
-
The current Parvo Hot Spots are mainly south of I-70 (Utah, going all across the southern US states to Maryland).
-
Some of the hardest hit areas are Texas, California, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, but almost every US state and other nations outside of the US are starting to experience multiple outbreaks too.
Are there any options for a Home Parvo Treatment or a natural Parvo Remedy?
-
The first thing you need to do is to become better educated about this horrific virus, and you can do this by downloading our free, comprehensive ebook, Parvo Treatment 101 - in there you will find a large section on Parvo Prevention and various methods to treat Parvo.
-
If your dog has begun to show any of the symptoms mentioned above, then you’ve got to move fast, so read the book later and immediately go read our Home Parvo Treatment FAQs, find the Parvo Emergency Tea Recipe - it will not treat Parvo nor will it prevent Parvo, but it is a stop-gap measure to keep your dog hydrated until you start treating him with a Parvaid Gold Value Pack.
-
We will also send more much-needed emergency measures to you via email - since your Parvaid Value Pack will be FedEx Overnighted, your dog may need additional measures to help him out until your products arrive.
-
We will help our customers day or night (24 x 7 customer support as you’ll have very little time to save your dog’s life).

Kathy,
You need to start your dog on the Parvo Emergency Tea as an absolute minimum.
However, this is only a stop-gap measure, and what you really need to do is to order a Parvo Home Treatment Kit immediately. Although we can’t ship it out until Monday now, for delivery on Tuesday, you will receive a comprehensive set of emergency home pre-treatment remedies that will sustain most dogs for several days, and once we receive your order, you will also qualify for our unique 24 x 7 phone support.
