Parvo in Dogs: Natural Cures for the Parvo Virus
Jul 27, 2016
What is Parvo?
Parvo is the nickname for the canine parvovirus, a contagious virus that can be deadly to puppies. A parvo vaccine is available for dog owners to give their pets in order to prevent infection, but the vaccine does have side effects of which pet owners should be aware.
The parvo virus attacks either a dog's digestive system or its cardiac system, while the lymphatic system may be overwhelmed also. Parvo symptoms include a lot of vomiting, such that many puppies die from dehydration rather than the virus itself. Other parvo virus symptoms include fatigue, dysentery, and fever. You may find blood in the feces.
Natural Remedies to Treat Parvo in Dogs
Keeping your dog hydrated is critical. Adding something antiviral such as apple cider vinegar or activated charcoal to water or broth can help kill off the virus at the same time. Homeopathic remedies show some promise as well, as you will find below or from a holistic vet.

So it'll be officially 7days tomorrow since my 3 month Maltese started showing Parvo symptoms & let me tell you it's been the longest week of my life. Parvo is not a joke, I almost lost my dog by the 3rd day. I took her to the vet & of course she tested positive for Parvo, they didn't give me anything to treat her just recommended i'd take her to another vet & have them hook her up with an I.v . My sister in law took her to another vet & they basically told her the same thing if she doesn't get hooked on to an I.V she could die in 72 hours or less . Any pet owner that hears that would get overwhelmed shoot just knowing your beloved pet is sick could get anyone overwhelmed. So the treatment was denied & I did my research back and forth thru sites desperate to find something for my little pup & well here are a list of things I recommend I can't guarantee it'll workout for your pup But it's a start
-Cephalexin or Amoxicillin
-Pepto Bismol
-Nutri-Cal either for a pup or an adult dog
-Chicken Broth
-Activated Charcoal
Those are basically all the things I used.
The Pedialyte & the Gatorade are to keep your dog hydrated & give them some electrolytes I would give her tablespoon or 2 every half hour with a syringe, I tried not to rush her so she could hold it down. You have to force feed them so don't be afraid to hold the sides of their jaws open & put the syringe down on the side to make sure they swallow it. P.S the syringe you could buy it at a petco or any pet store. & when they say be prepared not to sleep it's serious, this a 24/7 thing, not a oh I'll take care of her/him in a little bit. They have to stay hydrated all the dehydration is what kills them. If you can't take off of work just call it a quit.
The cephalexin or amoxicillin are antibiotics, I already had some Cephalexin from a previous time I took one of my other dogs to the vet I'm sure if you were to ask the vet could hook you up with some. I tried not to give her so much of it since it doesn't do anything towards the parvo it's just to prevent a secondary infection in their intestine but when I did give it to her it was every 8 hours, I stopped after the 4th day.
The Pepto bismol they say it's to coat their belly and intestine to control the diarrhea and vomiting I tried my best to give her some every two hours but I failed at that I was more worried of keeping her hydrated plus she's so young I didnt want to keep giving her so much medicine but when I did give it to her I tried to do it at least 3 times a day I would give her half a table spoon with the syringe.
The nutri-cal I've used previously on my other dog when she was pregnant she wasn't eating so she had no nutrients in her. I bought the nutri-cal supplement for my pup I gave her 1/4 tablespoon 3x a day once in the morning, noon, and evening. It won't make them eat but it's just so they have some type of nutrients in them. & also you have to force it to them just dab it on your finger & try to put on the roof of their mouth.
The chicken Broth I didn't try giving it to her until the 4th day which is also when I started giving her the nutri-cal I made sure I gave her the broth first then the nutri-cal ... I would only feed her a tablespoon of the broth 3x a day just to see if she could hold it down.
The Raw Egg ... Man this was a tough one I only gave her a tablespoon of it I was pretty grossed out by it but I was doing whatever could get my dog back to health. I cracked one raw egg & fed her a tablespoon of it once again I tried not to rush her to eat since its so slimy I wanted to make sure she was able to swallow it, then I would wash it down with half a tablespoon of pedialyte. I only tried this once just to see if she would get better, I tried it 3x in one day she kept it down the first time & the third but the 2nd time she didn't. I tried this but I felt like it didn't help I've read stories of other where it has worked but I'm just throwing what I experienced with at home with my pup, so it might work for yours but I suggest you do it if you see they're some what holding things down.
Last but not least, The Activated Charcoal. I was reading about this back and forth. I thought I was suppose to get a prescription for it until I read it's an over the counter vitamin & well I read more into it & decided to give it a try I figured it wouldn't hurt to try what do I got to lose she'd probably just yak it back up. So I did more research on it because some didn't specify exactly what it looked like & well I decided to go buy some I didn't buy the powder one they have for fish tanks I was scared to buy it and make my dog feel worse , they have charcoal tabs at Walgreens but they're like 22 bucks, Walmart was out of stock so I went to CVS Pharmacy and bought ACTIVATED CHARCOAL CAPS they were like 11-12 bucks. I took them home cracked to caps I suggest you put some paper wherever you plan to crack them open they could be pretty messy to clean up.
Anyways 2 caps cracked open 1 Ounce of pedialyte I threw a splash of gatorade in their just cause I thought it looked gross so I felt bad for my pup having to taste that awful looking drink. I gave her 1 tablespoon of it once again I tried not to rush her so she could hold it down and she was doing pretty good after the egg so I figured she'd do good with keeping it down I don't recommend you give your dog this if they're not keep anything down it'll just come right up. It's already the 5th day with my pup feeling like this, I let 2hours go by and she got up to drink some water which she had already been doing on the 4th day after I had given her the nutri-cal and the broth I guess it would get stuck in her mouth so she'd feel like washing it down to get the taste off. I waited 2 hours to give her some more & here come my nieces they opened the door to my room and once she saw them she began to wag her little tail which she hadn't done since a week ago she was being playful so I decided to make her something to eat I made her a scrambled egg & fried some ham for her I didn't add anything to it just cooked it . & boy did she tear it up her eyes got so wide when she smelled the food my poor baby ate everything like she hadn't ate in years she ate so much she couldn't stand so I picked her up and put her back in her bed.
About 3am she woke up crying wanting me to sleep in my bed so I did she was being a wild sleeper as she usually was before she got sick. & well I kept an eye on her the next day I fed her the same thing that morning then I fed her the same for lunch for dinner I smashed up some of her kibble and added a little bit of water in it I didn't give her any tap water, I kept giving her filtered water she ate it right up she was back to her usual self I left for a few hours came back home to her wagging her tail waiting for me to get in the house lol im still keeping a close eye on her to see if any of the symptoms are coming back. I have to say the charcoal did work but also the hydration with the pedialyte helped a lot I could've lost my dog if I didn't get right to it..... I hope this is helpful for anyone .... I did a lot of praying too & also I would give her lots of TLC they need to know youre there for them & that you love them that they're not ready to go yet ....

I've been researching any treatments for parvo virus and I've read this site regarding the amazing result of activated charcoal to a parvo victim. Just want to know if how many activated charcoal do I need for him to take since he is just a five months old? I'm hoping that this charcoal can help my baby coz I dont wanna lose him. Thank you in advance.

07/12/2016Just left the vets office with my 4 1/2 month old Red Heeler. Diagnosis is Parvo! They gave her a large dose of fluids and send me home with an antiobotic and anti-nausea meds. Even the vet said she doesn't act like a parvo puppy but the test was positive. She does drink some water but hasn't eaten in 12 hours now. She just threw up for the second time and its only a quarter size flem. No diarrhea. Any suggestions? I'm thinking I need some charcoal but not for sure about the dosing.. Please help,,, This is my baby!
Hey Piper's Mom!
2 tablespoons to 2 cups of pedialyte/electrolyte solution is a general starting point; if that seems too concentrated try 2 teaspoons to 2 cups of pedialyte. Work on getting small amounts down I e 2cc's, not the entire 2 cups at once. Dose often, hourly, and keep your baby warm. Focus on getting the liquids in over feeding/solid food. Please report back!

My dog Sage caught parvo when she was a puppy and we took her to the vet and followed through that procedure the first time. It cost $800 and they said it's still a 50/50 chance of recovery.
Two years later Sage caught it again, she start not eating her food or drinking and throwing up and there was blood in her stool. We knew we couldn't afford it again so I started doing research and I came along activated charcoal.
So we gave it a shot, here's the steps
1) Get activated charcoal in the caps, then get Pedialyte (clear), white rice, beef or chicken broth, and a one ounce syringe
2) You don't want to give them the capsules until they can hold something down so every 30 minutes for two hours give them one ounce of Pedialyte. After they are not throwing up the Pedialyte, break two capsules open and mix it with ounce of Pedialyte and give them this solution every 30minutes for 4hrs
3) Just in case they want to eat or drink, keep water and rice with the broth in their bowl.
4) When they begin to become more active, only give the dosage once a hour and every other hour replace Pedialyte with cold water
5) When they are eating and drinking again and their stool doesn't contain blood and starts hardening up again you can stop the charcoal treatment.
6) Continue the rice and broth 7 days after the symptoms are gone and switch back to dog food.
Sage made a full recovery and is about to turn 3.

12/23/2015What would a suitable dose of the activated charcoal be for a very small dog? She is 8 weeks old and weighs about a pound and a half. (Half miniature poodle/half yorkie). She tested positive Monday, but started symptoms Friday. She is on amoxicillin and 5ml Gatorade ever hour on the hour. She is actually doing quite well considering, but I want to have this treatment as an option. Thanks.

04/01/2016My puppy (Luke) was diagnosed with pravo yesterday. They started giving him fluids to maintain him hydrated and also pills to keep him from throwing up but my question is can I give him activated charcoal and Pedialyte while he still taking the fluids and pills? Or is it to much that it could cause him death?

Two weeks ago our dog Zoe was not active and didn't have an appetite. The next morning she was vomiting and pooping blood. She was diagnosed with Parvo by the vet and said she had 50/50 chance to live depending on how strong her immune system is. She was immediately given IV fluids to avoid dehydration and IV medications such as anti-emetic drugs and antibiotics.
I fed her every hour with 5cc gatorade. I was losing hope because she was always lethargic and didn't react even if we injected her with medicine. I saw this website and learned about activated charcoal. It was very hard to find activated charcoal here in the Philippines because the drugstores don't usually sell it but I managed to find one in a City nearby.
I mixed the activated charcoal with gatorade as what I have read here, fed her 10cc of the mixture every 2 hours. I wasn't able to sleep for a couple of days but it was all worth it.
Zoe is back to her old self after 7 days of home treatment. Thank you for this article our dog is still alive. Please don't let your dogs suffer this illness and have them vaccinated. Don't give up them because they will never give up on you.

01/26/2016Hi, I just want to know where did you bought the activated charcoal? What specific pharmacy? I am desperate right now because its been 3 days that my 2 months puppy is very ill. We check it with our municipal vet and he was given a parvo shot but it does't do anything good to him. He is too weak, he didnt eat, he always vomit and have diarrhea. Since I couldnt find activated charcoal yet, I opt to use apple cider vinegar. Please tell me what specific pharmacy where activated charcoal is available..thank you in advance. GOD BLESS
Dear Juliet,
If you cannot find it, you could consider making it, that is what I would do in an emergency.

Hey Cherie!
You can buy activated charcoal at most pharmacies or drug stores - just ask if you do not see it. You may also find it at whole food co-ops or natural stores OR at any fish/pet store - though the type from the fish store needs to be ground into a fine powder before you can use it.

OMG.. please, , if you havent tried the charcoal with Pedialyte, please do. I would suggest that if your puppy/dog is having trouble holding anything down, don't give it to him/her until you have given an enema of electrolytes.
Here is my story..We were getting a new Papillion and ended up with two, a half brother and sister, after we lost our family dog(a papillion) to trauma about a year ago. Anyhow, they are almost 7 months old and have had all shots but are due their 6 month shots. :( Roux, the male got really sick almost a week ago, it got so bad, the throwing up and diarrhea that I really thought I was going to lose him that nite.. I tried keeping him hydrated..nothing was working. I brought him to the vet and he tested positive for parvo. They said if I didnt bring him to the Animal emergency hospital, he wasnt going to make it. I had no choice, , to the tune of $2,000. Money I really don't have, , he is still there.
Bella, the female began to get sick Friday nite.. I tried everything and was trying to figure out what I could sell to get her into the hospital when I happened upon this site. she was going down.. I tried the enema of pedialyte, she stopped long enough at 4am for me to get to the 24 hour drugstore where I got the charcoal in vitamin form, broke it open and mixed 2 tablespoons with 1 cup of pedialyte. She has not thrown up or had diarrhea since. she is getting up. She still looks like hell but she is not dehydrated and shes moving around. ITS UNBELIEVABLE... but I really believe if theyre not keeping anything down, the enema gave me the ability to get the charcoal in her system to do its thing. I will let you know if anything else changes. I believe its saving her life.. I really do.

12/30/2014I just wanted to share my story too. Our beloved dog of 11 years passed away this Fall. My mom got us 2 puppies, brother and sister chi-weenies, to help my children with the absence. They seemed like very healthy, energetic pups. About 2 weeks ago, I rescued another pup from a busy street and had him for about 72 hours. They all played so well together. No issues. 5 days after he left, our girl pup started throwing up. (This was two days after Christmas). I made some rice with chicken broth and kept her near the fire...thinking she had eaten a piece of candy or something she shouldn't have. She was dead Sunday morning, only 24 hours after symptoms started. I was shocked! I had not realized how ill she was. I found this site and cried! I wish I had known! Then, Sunday night, little boy started throwing up! I ran immediately over to the nearest Walgreens and bought Charcoal, unflavored pedialyte and a syringe. We started the charcoal about 45 minutes after his first throw up. We tried the 10 ccs, but that made him immediately throw up. So after two episodes, I lowered it to 5 ccs. That did the trick. He stopped throwing up about midnight. By Monday morning, he was trying to drink tiny amounts of pedialyte on his own, and by that afternoon he ate a bit of rice with chicken. He seemed so much better by evening, that we decided to let him sleep all night, rather than keep up the charcoal. That was a mistake. He started throwing up the next morning (today, Tuesday). I immediately gave him 5 ccs of charcoal water...he promptly threw it up, but went over and drank some pedialyte on his own an hour later. Thats a good sign. Now I know...keep up the charcoal no matter what for the first 48 hours. I just really wanted to thank you for this post! I really appreciate your willingness to share this info so we can help our sweet family members!!! Thank you, and happy New Year!!!!

01/01/2015Update: Tuesday through Tuesday night, we were meticulous with the AC/Pedialyte every 30 minutes (roughly 2cc each time). We also introduced a bit of honey ( a dab) rubbed in his mouth every 2 hours to make sure his blood sugars didn't go low. Diarrhea and vomiting stopped for an hour and a half Tuesday evening. Then mild throw up about every 4th dose. I felt really good and thought, if we could just get him safely to morning he will be fine. My daughter and I stayed up ALL night long, checking him every 15 minutes and giving him his Ac, pedialyte and honey, check his temperature and his overall comfort. I thought all was well. We decided to make breakfast for my family at 8 while he was resting. At 8:15 my daughter asked me to check on him, and I couldn't get a response from him. It was like he was unconscious, but his eyes were open. He was still breathing and warm. She picked him up immediately, wrapped in a blanket, and panickly tried to get him to respond. He did a couple of times. He passed away about an hour later, New Year's Eve morning, in her arms. I felt so helpless! I will definitely not pick up another rescue from the streets. I hate Parvo!

04/18/2015Parvo is a very easy virus to avoid if you just VACCINATE your pets. This means taking you puppy for regular visits to your veterinarian to be vaccinated properly. This does NOT mean purchasing vaccines at the local store and giving them yourself. Once a dog/puppy gets Parvo, there is only a 50/50 chance of survival NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO! The Parvo virus itself doesn't kill dogs, the effects of Parvo, such as dehydration, secondary infection, hypoglycemia DO kill dogs. Supportive care if important. IV fluids, antibiotics, anti vomiting medication, etc. If you take in a stray puppy and your other pets are not vaccinated, you should keep that puppy separate from your other pets for 14 days. JUST VACCINATE!! Dogs that have survived with all of these "alternative" treatments were just on the lucky side of the 50/50 chances of survival.

10/24/2015Please, please don't hesitate to rescue a dog from the street again. Any puppy can get parvo.
Hey Annalisa,
A good rule of thumb is to make a few cups of the solution and add 2 tablespoons of the AC and then shake like the dickens. Try to get as much down your pet as you possibly can, bit by bit over time. Don't stop if you see improvement, keep it up and continue dosing the AC in your pet's food for 2 weeks after he appears recovered.

I have a 11 week old English bulldog named Diesel that just got Parvo. I have had a pitbull puppy die before so I know how quickly this virus effects puppies. I woke up at 5am to find my boy had thrown up several times and did not want to eat or drink. Yesterday he ate but not at his usual rate (usually scarfs his food down). I began searching online and came across this website. I went to Walmart due to noticing an earlier post the activate charcoal which is also called activate carbon is sold in the fish section. It cost me $6USD to purchase, I also purchased pedialite and Gatorade. Once home I poured some Gatorade, pedialite, and two tablespoons of activated carbon into my blender. The carbon was in chunks and needs to be powdered for easy consumption. My buddy drank it right up and not even 30min. later was running around and playing. A complete 180 degree from where he was this morning. Thank you everybody and this method does work!! Don't give up on your best friend.

Hey Rebecca!
You can find AC at your local drug store; aquariums stores have some in a pinch, but its granulated and you would need to use a coffee grinder or food processor to pulverize it into fine powder.
Activated Charcoal works especially well when used with electrolytes to combat the dehydration that occurs with the diarrhea. You can make this recipe at home:
Homemade Pedialyte
4 cups of water (boiled or bottled drinking water) 1/2 teaspoon Morton lite salt (because it has potassium in it as well as sodium chloride) Can use regular table salt if you have to. 2 Tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon flavored jello or sodium free broth to add some flavor
Start with 1 cup of electrolyte solution in a small jar with a lid; add 2 heaping tablespoons of AC and then put the lid on and shake to blend. This goes into a syringe well and then can be placed into your dog's mouth; tip the head back and gently depress the plunger to allow him to drink it slowly.
Dose him 10cc every 2-4 hours for the first 48 hours.
If your dog has an appetite, you can mix the AC into canned dog food and make that a bit wetter and sloppier by adding the electrolyte solution to the wet food.
It is key to understand that the virus generally does not kill the dog - its the resulting dehydration that does the damage - so make sure you get those electrolytes down.
If he is taking food and appears to be bouncing back after the first regime of 48 hours, give your dog the wet AC and electrolyte loaded food am and pm for 5 days and up to 7 days. If he is hungry between meals, give him extra AC and electrolyte feedings.
Good luck and please keep us posted!
Please keep us posted! "
Hey Marybeth!
You may be doing everything right; it is just that your puppy cannot keep it down because he is ill.
Consider giving him an OTC anti nausea remedy such as kaopectate. Dose this and wait before trying the AC/pedialyte.
Keep an eye out for dehydration; use the pinch test to check: Pinch with two fingers the skin on the scruff or back of your pup's neck and pull it up, so it forms a tent or peak -and then let go. It should *snap* right back rapidly. If it slowly sinks back down or takes a few seconds to settle back down then your puppy is dehydrated.
If you are dealing with dehydration your best bet is to see the vet. Some EC contributors have had success using sterile saline solution for contact lenses and injecting it under the skin with a hypodermic needle and syringe to re-hydrate a parvo pup, but again the best thing to do might be to see the vet if you are dealing with a dehydrated pup.

10/28/2014So Sunday morning my pup was fine, but Sunday night I came home and he had nothing to do with his food or water. Same for Monday morning. Immediately took him to the vet even though he was not vomiting and had diarrhea only once, and found out he has parvo. I have been giving him Pedia lite every hour. He recently has started throwing up-Tuesday night- it's not too late to try the activated charcoal is it?
Hey Hilda!
Try 1 tablespoon into 4 cups of pedialyte and see how he tolerates it from there. If he cannot keep liquids down he is at risk of dehydrating - google on how to test for dehydration. If he becomes dehydrated you have an emergency and should see your vet. Some anti-nausea meds - Immodium and other over the counter meds may help. If he is still interested in food you could mix 1/2 tablespoon of AC into 1 cup of dog food and see if he tolerates that. Dose him frequently, and keep him warm and clean.

Hey Raiza!
While parvo typically afflicts puppies with not fully developed immune systems, it can be contracted by previously vaccinated adults who have for whatever reason a depressed immune system.
For both sick puppy and healthy adults, I would use activated charcoal in the food. For the puppy, if she is eating well, in her wet food 3x a day -maybe 1/2 teaspoon or so at a time. I would use the same about 2x a day/am and pm meals on the healthy adults. I would maintain this regimen for 7-14 days.

05/20/2014I lost two puppies last week to parvo. I spent over 1,000 to have them in the animal hospital for fluids, only to have my heart broken when they sent them home and they passed away. I had no idea what parvo was or how deadly it was. The next day, their dad was sick with it. I went on line and found this web site and immediately started treating him. I gave him pedialite, every half an hour, activated charcoal, colliodial silver, one raw egg every morning, and a bit of honey (to keep his sugar levels up). Today is day 6 of him being sick and I am happy to report that just as I am typing this, he ran up to me and jumped on my leg. He isn't eating on his own yet, but he is getting back to normal.

11/12/2014My 2 year old great dane was diagnosed with parvovirus on Sunday. It is now Wednesday. She has been at the emergency vet clinic for 4 days. They tell me she is doing well, and then a couple of hours later, they tell me she has diarrhea and is vomiting again. They have her on IV fluids and she is being kept warm. They won't allow me to see her because I could spread the virus throughout the clinic, they have her in isolation. I can't keep paying hundreds of dollars a day to keep her there and I really want her to know that she is loved and I would love to be able to pet her. Should I bring her home and try the pedialyte and activated charcoal on her? What would be the correct amount to give her for a dog her weight and size (85 lbs)? How often should I give it to her?

Start with 1 cup of electrolyte solution in a small jar with a lid; add 2 heaping tablespoons of AC and then put the lid on and shke to blend. This goes into a syringe well and then can be placed into your dog's mouth; tip the head back and gently depress the plunger to allow him to drink it slowly.
If your dog has an appetite, you can mix the AC into canned dog food and make that a bit wetter and sloppier by adding the electrolyte solution to the wet food. The virus generally does not kill the dog - its the resulting dehydration that does the damage - so make sure you get those electrolytes down.
Give your dog the wet AC and electrolyte loaded food am and pm for 5 days and up to 7 days. If he is hungry between meals, give him extra AC and electrolyte feedings.

05/10/2014I just found that my 5 week old Chihuahua puppy has parvo. At least I suspect it to be parvo because he was so playful and happy and all of a sudden he just became what looked like depressed. It started on Wednesday of this week so its only been three days, he was just sleeping a lot and it threw me off because it was just so weird. I also realized he didn't want to walk and it looked like he had trouble walking. He's only thrown up three times, once everyday since Wednesday but yesterday is when he officially stopped eating and that was dinner, he ate his lunch and breakfast. He hasn't had diarrhea or any strange things in his poop. Right now im just giving him Gatorade to hydrate him, but I have to use a syringe because he didn't want to do anything but sleep. Since this morning I thought It was really bad because he was so limp and seemed like he didn't want to wake up but after giving him the Gatorade he seems a lot better. I also cannot afford to take him to the vet anytime soon. But is there any suggestions to what else I can do for him?
Hey America!
You can support your puppy by keeping him warm.
Activated Charcoal has worked for folks, and also supplementing with electrolytes to combat the dehydration that occurs with the diarrhea. If you can mix and administer the AC with Lectade - an electrolyte formula for pets, or make this recipe at home:
Homemade Pedialyte
4 cups of water (boiled or bottled drinking water)
1/2 teaspoon Morton lite salt (because it has potassium in it as well as sodium chloride) Can use table salt if you have to.
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon flavored jello or a little juice (I used sodium free broth to add some flavor)
Dissolve the ingredients in the boiling water and cool before serving. You can also freeze it into cubes.
Mix one quarter teaspoon of the activated charcoal into one half cup of electrolyte solution and try to get your pup to drink it. Try dosing with the AC solution every 3 hours, and keep up with the plain electrolyte solution every half an hour.
Another contributer used Colloidal Silver [available online or even at your local drug store] to cure a litter of pups with Parvo:
The silver was 70 to 100 PPM [the drug store variety is usually 10 ppm - if its the only one you can, get it and use it]. Given twice a day for a week mixed into canned wet food.
Lastly, tell the breeder/owner of the litter and any other folks you know with littermates that your puppy has this virus; its likely the entire litter was exposed and all are sick.
Hey Jennie!
If your dog has good appetite, try 1/c cup into a large can of dog food - this for one meal, and I would feed at least 3x day spaced out and be sure to offer a bowl of electrolyte for her to drink as she wishes.
If your dog is not eating well, try 2 tablespoons into 1-2 cups of electrolyte solution and use a syringe to get him to drink - do this 6x day spaced out. Monitor to make sure your dog is staying hydrated.

I found out a week ago on a Saturday that my 8 week old Maltese X Shih tzu, Lexi, had parvo. I couldn't afford the vet bill to keep her there and get the help she needed and they basically told me if I took her home she most likely would not survive through the night. I decided to take her home and try my best to nurse her back to health, the vet gave her an antibiotic needle and one to help with nausea, he also gave a sachet of Lectade which is mixed with water. I was petrified I'd lose her, I wanted to try as many things that I could try to help my puppy. That same day I found this site and heard about active charcoal and the amount of people who used it on they're dogs and got great results, so I tried it on Lexi. I gave her the Lectade water every 30mins to keep her hydrated and then every 2hrs gave her the active charcoal mixed with water and gatorade, the next day I woke up and she was still not great but had started eating bland chicken I had given her, she started walking around a lot more also and later that afternoon had started to get her energy back. That night we were still worried and weary to sleep as she still wasn't drinking by herself, we kept giving her water through the syringe and by Wednesday morning I woke up to a crazy Lexi who was fully of life, running around and jumping and just started eating and drinking by herself.
If I didn't find this site I would never have heard about active charcoal, we don't know 100% which exact remedy we used that helped her, but either the Lactade or Active Charcoal had some kind of effect and I'm so grateful for it. If it wasn't for either, I could have lost my puppy.

11/26/2013For Parvo give a few drops of MMS for about three days. See the info online.
I know dogs have been cured with this . Look up MMS website, Jim Humble. They have a section on pets. I use MMS myself. Quite affordable.
Also two of my old cats went off food, lost a lot of weight and I knew from experience this was it. However I tried MMS on them and they, being twenty years old , are doing fine three months later. I never give antibiotics as they cause fungal disease and low immune system where the gut never recovers from the depletion of good bacteria. Om
Hey Catrina!
Many drug stores and health food stores or whole foods type stores carry activated charcoal in tablet or loose powder form. Aquarium and pet stores also carry activated charcoal in a granulated form. To treat a dog with parvo you need to either crush the granules or dissolve the tablets, or start with the loose powder form.
Activated Charcoal works especially well when used with electrolytes to combat the dehydration that occurs with the diarrhea. You can make this recipe at home:
Homemade Pedialyte
4 cups of water (boiled or bottled drinking water) 1/2 teaspoon Morton lite salt (because it has potassium in it as well as sodium chloride) Can use regular table salt if you have to. 2 Tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon flavored jello or sodium free broth to add some flavor
Start with 1 cup of electrolyte solution in a small jar with a lid; add 2 heaping tablespoons of AC and then put the lid on and shake to blend. This goes into a syringe well and then can be placed into your dog's mouth; tip the head back and gently depress the plunger to allow him to drink it slowly. If your dog won't take this concentration, use 2 cups of electrolyte solution and 2 heaping tablespoons of AC. For a small dog such as a Chihuahua I would try to get 2cc's down at a time, every half hour for the first three hours; for a larger breed like a pit bull I would try 10cc's for a dose.
If your dog has an appetite, you can mix the AC into canned dog food and make that a bit wetter and sloppier by adding the electrolyte solution to the wet food. The virus generally does not kill the dog - its the resulting dehydration that does the damage - so make sure you get those electrolytes down.
Give your dog the wet AC and electrolyte loaded food am and pm for 5 days and up to 7 days. If he is hungry between meals, give him extra AC and electrolyte feedings.

I just recently got a Maltese X shih tzu puppy thats 9weeks old last Wednesday, I took her to get her vaccination on the Friday and the vet had said she was healthy and everything was fine. Saturday night she started vomiting andlater on had diarrhea that entire day she was so tired and wouldn't eat or drink, took her to the vet today and found out she has parvo and its a high chance she got it from her last owner. I've heard a lot about active charcoal working well for puppies with parvo, I just want to know how much can be given to her? She weighs 1kg. I've been feeding her water mixed with Lectade, that the vet gave, every 30 minutes to every hour. She had an antibiotic shot and another shot to help with vomiting all for 24hrs. If there's anything else we can try to make her better please let me know. I don't want to have to put her down, I want to try everything I can to nurse her back to health

Hey Jasmine!
Sorry to hear about your sick puppy.
Did your vet confirm the parvo with a snap test or fecal float? It is important to not misdiagnose parvo with the canine crud or Campylobacter [more below].
It is important to inform your breeder as the virus may have been contracted by another puppy buyer visiting the litter; the sooner all puppy buyers know about the virus the sooner all can start treating their puppies.
You may find good results with a homeopathic product "Parvaid" by Amber Technologies. Another remedy is "Tamiflu" - read up here:

I have two 10 week old chihuahuas Tippy and Max, that came down with parvo a week ago. They were released from the vet after 3 days because he was doing better. The next day I stopped in to check on them during my lunch break and Max was limp, non-responsive and dehydrated. We quickly took him back to the vet were they immediately started an IV, placed him on oxygen and he was put into an incubator. I was concerned that letting him go early would have set him back or hurt him in some way. I read several articles on this website that advised giving Activated charcol. I did this and two days later Max was doing great. He was active, drinking on his own and eating on his own. I was over joyed to see he was acting like a normal puppy again last night. They removed the IV since he was eating and drinking and said that he may be coming home in the morning. Then this morning I stopped to see him at the Vet's office before heading into work myself and he was weak, vomiting and would not eat or drink. I gave him some more charcol mixed with water hoping that it would help him. I am just so frustared and concerned. I am not sure what to do anymore. Could have been because they stopped his IV fluids too soon? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. They have had their first round of shots and had just started the Parvo vaccines. Tippy is home and doing great and has had no other issues.

07/05/2015Everyone who is struggling with this dreadful puppy-killer virus - there is a way. No-one is trying to kill the infections that are really what takes the puppy down. Stopping the vomiting and diarrhoea is not what is needed as the body is trying to reject the virus - this is normal. Rehydration every hour with an electrolyte solution is critical - enemas are the way to get that hydration level up. The best answer is to use 2 products which saved my puppies - Amber Technologies in the US that provide Paxxin (formerly Parvaid) and Vibactra Plus - both powerful herbal formulas the second being the antibiotic. Link to www.wolfcreekranch which is in the US also and follow their tried and tested protocol. It saved my babies and taught me all I need to know about this virus. the one puppy that ended in the vet - died. Mine - no! If ever one of my puppies (and I am a breeder) shows any sign of sickness then I run to these 2 remedies for prevention. Do your babies a favour - but be prepared for on the hour every hour. Good luck
Hey Jane!
I am so happy you found a cure for your pups and were able to save their lives!
I found your post fascinating and had to do some research to understand both the products you recommend and your advice.
I must disagree, however, that stopping the nausea and diarrhea is not needed; reducing those natural symptoms to this virus act to help keep the puppy hydrated. It is the dehydration - not the virus - that kills by causing organ failure; I just LOVE your advice for the enema to accomplish the rehydration process.
I had to google the products you recommended; the Bactra plus is not technically an antibiotic; by strict definition, the word "antibiotic" refers to substances produced by microorganisms that act against another microorganism. The Bactra plus contains "antimicrobial agents" which while not microorganisms themselves act against all types of microorganisms. The Black Seed [Black Cumin] in the Bactra Plus is a very powerful antimicrobial agent; when compared to the usual run of antibiotics [Amoxicillin et al] on 144 strains of superbugs 97 were inhibited by the Black Seed oil. Both of the products you recommend boost the immune system -I love these products! But what I don't like is the $72.00 price tag that accompanies them, and the shipping time that accompanies them, as they do not appear to be OTC at my local drug store; as you know a delay in treatment could mean the death of a puppy, so time is very critical when treating a parvo pup. What I can find at hand and no need to shop online, and rather inexpensively at that, is activated charcoal at my drug store and pet stores. So while I think your product recommendation is great, I do think for the bloke with pockets to let that the AC is a more instantly accessible remedy, and along with the hydration you recommend [via a home made electrolyte solution] via oral or enema is a more accessible remedy for the average Joe.
I love your idea for having these two products around for any breeder or rescue! But for the average Joe who brought their new puppy home last week and now finds they have a sick puppy and is faced with mounting vet bills and maxed out credit cards and are in tears of desperation, the AC and home made electrolytes are live savers also.

09/01/2015For all of you who've experienced the Parvo nightmare...please know that your dog does not have to come in contact with an infected animal to contract Parvo. The virus can live in the ground for YEARS and tends to be more problematic when the ground becomes saturated from rain. Vaccinating your animals is their only real protection from Parvo. Once you've had an animal with Parvo, it's likely that your yard is infected and it should be treated to prevent the spread of the disease. I've heard that bleach will work, but I don't know in what concentration. I would research that first...there might even be something that's more effective. Luck and love to you all.

My husband and I finally decided to buy my five year old her first puppy. We bought Django (Boxer, Lab, Shepard Mix) when he was 9 weeks old on a Sunday he ate that night. The next day we were scheduled to take him to the Vet for his 2nd set of shots, the Vet was concerned with his calm manner and asked how he has been. He had thrown up before we went to the Vet and hadn't eaten anything all day, he also had slight diarrhea. The Vet told us he was very concerned he may have Parvo. We were on a tight budget and couldnt afford the treatments if the test was positive so we took him home. I came online and found this remedy using Activated Charcoal. Wednesday night he still hadn't eaten anything so I went out and bought the activated charcoal as recommended and mixed it with gatorade and water. By the next afternoon he was starting to eat and by thursday evening his appetite was back. It's now Friday and he is playful and full of life! I wouldnt have believed it... We are so happy! What could have cost us $1200 for treatment only cost us $10 and he is happy as can be! Thank you soooo much!!!!

02/17/2013Dear Sam, I am so sorry to hear about your puppy. Activated charcoal can be bought at any pharmacy or some grocery stores. It is used to treat poisoning. Just be careful you give small doses in a lot of water as this powder can cause a puppy to gag to choke. If you have an emergency vet in your area, I suggest that. Unfortunately with puppies you need to be very careful what you give them... Even small doses of home remedies might be too much for their little systems. Best of luck and many blessings to you and your family.

Apple offers green take-backs for old school computersApple Inc. is polishing its green image with a new program that gives whole schools, not just individuals, a chance to recycle their old computers rather than send them to landfills — even if they aren't Macs.
The Mac maker let its US educational customers know on Thursday about a special Free Recycling promo which it touted as a way to clear out the backlog of outdated systems at some schools.
Capitalizing on the annual spring turnover at schools, Apple said that K-12 institutions, colleges, and universities with 25 or more computers could register before the end of June to recycle their old systems for free. Much like the company's take-back program for new Mac buyers, the promo doesn't require that any of the older systems come from Apple to qualify for the exchange process.
The California-based firm also pledged to shoulder most of the burden for the effort. Aside from placing the computers on cargo palettes, schools could take a hands-off approach: Apple would collect the systems itself and destroy anything that could become a security risk if left alone. Tags, serial numbers, and other marks would be removed. Hard drives in particular would be broken into "confetti-sized" pieces, Apple said..
And in a gesture towards its publicly stated green policy announced earlier this month by CEO Steve Jobs, the terms of the Free Recycling promo made it clear that all of the American computers it received would be recycled solely within the country. Greenpeace has previously attacked several high-profile computer companies for shipping obsolete PCs to Asia, where the PCs were often recycled improperly. The activist group later cautiously praised Apple for its efforts in the US while questioning the company's international greening work.
This level of take-back effort is still relatively young at the computer builder, which began its first recycling as early as 1994 but opened its first business and educational programs less than two years ago, in August 2005.

Abstract: Centella asiatica (C. asiatica) is a pharmacological plant in South Asia. It has been demonstrated that C. asiatica extracts containing various pentacyclic triterpenes exert healing effects, especially wound healing and collagen synthesis in skin. However, there are few studies on the effect of C. asiatica extracts on stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS). To determine whether H2O2-induced senescence is affected by C. asiatica extracts, we performed senescence analysis on cultured human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). We also analysed whole gene expression level using microarrays and showed that 39 mRNAs are differentially expressed in H2O2-induced HDFs with and without treatment with C. asiatica extracts. These genes regulate apoptosis, gene silencing, cell growth, transcription, senescence, DNA replication and the spindle checkpoint. Differential expression of FOXM1, E2F2, MCM2, GDF15 and BHLHB2 was confirmed using semi-quantitative PCR. In addition, C. asiatica extracts rescued the H2O2-induced repression of replication in HDFs. Therefore, the findings presented here suggest that C. asiatica extracts might regulate SIPS by preventing repression of DNA replication and mitosis-related gene expression.

The polar vortex has nothing on the harsh winter of Game of Thrones, the HBO fantasy series based on George R.R. Martin's acclaimed A Song of Ice and Fire book series — and that point will be hammered home when the new season premieres in the spring.
HBO has announced the hit drama will return April 6 for its fourth season. Additionally, the first full-length trailer will roll out on Sunday, just before the premiere of True Detective, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
The new season of Thrones picks up shortly after the events of the Red Wedding, the epic betrayal of Robb Stark and his fellow Northerners at the hands of Walder Frey and House Lannister. Expect even more betrayals and shocking deaths as the season unfolds.

Help! ...
... I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! You know I need someone,
to help me.
When I was younger, but so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody´s help in any way,
But now these days are gone and I´m not so self assured
Now I find I´ve changed my mind I´ve opened up the doors.

Big Kap, a New York DJ who notably released The Tunnel featuring big names like Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. in 1999, has died, his Tunnel collaborator Funkmaster Flex shared on Instagram Tuesday morning. His road manager later revealed to Billboard that he died from a heart attack. He was 45.
The Tunnel peaked at No. 35 on the Billboard 200, and, alongside tracks from Shakur and B.I.G., the collection featured verses by fellow rap heavyweights like Eminem, Dr. Dre, Jay Z, and Snoop Dogg. "We didn't want to short ourselves on artists, so we put our heads together and went for what we like and the people we like," Kap told MTV at the time.
Aside from putting out his own music, Kap was also known for DJing clubs. "When I'm DJing, I'm more concerned about the room," he told MTV in the same interview. "So I'm playing the more cutting-edge stuff that people like, going with the cutting-edge vibe and mixing it with old school and the hits."
Multiple artists, including Questlove and Talib Kweli, have paid tribute to Kap on social media since news of his death spread. See those posts below.
Our condolences, prayers and positive energy go out to the family and friends of #bigkap RIP

6 Reasons You Should Plant an Herb Garden
- Cooking with fresh herbs is fun; it feels very "chef-y" to do things like chiffonade.
With only a couple days to go until Earth Day, prepare to get inundated with a billion things we can do — should do — to save our planet. Although there will likely be plenty of events to attend and planet-themed parties to enjoy, one of the best places you can celebrate Earth Day is in your own home!
If our homes are a reflection and expression of our lifestyles and values, then it makes sense that we start making conscious (i.e. green) choices at home. The issues affecting the Earth — from the oil crisis to water shortages to disappearing species — are complex, and can seem distant and insurmountable, but it is essential to understand the correlation between our everyday environments and our larger ecosystem. Everything and everyone is interconnected, and even the simplest act, such as turning the water off when we brush our teeth, creates positive change.
The best physical results come when you take care of the whole person — mind, body and spirit! You could say I am a big fan of anything that will help change your mood and attitude, like affirmations, meditation and, yes, flowers too. In Minnesota, where things have been pretty drab and covered with snow for months, it is mood-changing to see all the flowers and foliage blooming.
