Parvovirus, an alternative treatment ...

Parvovirus

Symptoms - Most dogs (more than 80 percent) that are infected will show no symptoms. Dogs that develop the disease show symptoms of the illness within 3 to 10 days. The symptoms include lethargy, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea (usually bloody).  Typically vetinary treatment can run from $600 to $2000 dollars with sometimes less than desired results. Parvo is a viral disease found mainly in the intestinal tract (and marrow of the bones).  It has been around since the late 70’s and can be transmitted by direct contact or indirectly by contact with vomit, diarrhea or any contaminated discharges from an infected dog.  This virus can cause vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, depression, dehydration, high fever and sudden death.  Parvo is hard to kill and is shed in large numbers by infected dogs.   Parvo is often fatal and strikes suddenly causing your pet to become extremely ill.  The illness usually begins suddenly, and without treatment, the animal often dies within a few days.  Dogs under 1 year of age are at risk and precautionary measures should be obtained. We have found an alternative -
 

Parvaid,  developed by  Amber Technologies (click here for company info)       

   

Parvaid was developed in 1997 to help your animal overcome Parvo.  It has an 85% success rate and takes an average of 2 days before the animal begins eating on its own. Parvaid has been known to help with other illnesses such as extreme Vomiting, Diarrhea, symptoms of Corona, E-Coli, and Giardia. Parvaid may be used as a preventative if the animal has been exposed.  When Parvo is introduced into the body, it will find its way into the glands of the animal and incubate.  Eventually the virus will leave the gland and work its way into the intestinal tract where it will begin the process of eating away the lining causing symptoms.  The virus will also work its way into the marrow of the bone and attack the white blood cells making the puppy susceptible to infections.  This usually takes anywhere from 3 to 15 days.  If Parvaid is introduced before the virus reaches the intestinal tract nine times out of ten Parvaid will help the dog fight off the virus making it look as if Parvo never existed.  If the animal has a weak immune system or the strain of the virus is one of the harder strains to fight off then the preventative measures may not work entirely however, the animal will not get as sick as he would have if not given the Parvaid

Treatment for canine Parvovirus consists of giving fluids through a vein, antibiotics and medicine to treat symptoms. A sick animal must be isolated from other dogs. A vaccine is available, and veterinarians recommend that all puppies be immunized and that dogs receive booster injections annually.  Amber Technology has found that a recently vaccinated puppy is likely to have more difficulties than one who is not. Once the puppy has been exposed to the Parvovirus, one may not want to vaccinate.

 The Parvovirus is a group of extremely small viruses that affect humans, dogs, rodents, pigs, cattle, and other animals.  Millions of particles can be found in one ounce of stool and an animal needs only one thousand of those particles to be infected.

 An antibiotic is necessary for the treatment of Parvo (due to the lack of white blood cells the body is producing) to prevent secondary infections.  Due to several changes in the market over the last few years with Parvo and its imitators, we recommend giving Vibactra Plus  (Amber Technology’s antibiotic), and Life Cell Support in addition to Parvaid.

Parvaid is made in an alcohol base in order to get the medicinal properties into the bloodstream quickly.  With Parvo there is not much time to treat the disease.  Parvaid gets into the bloodstream within seconds and begins to help the dog overcome the disease.
