Treatment methods for parvovirus:

1. Replenish water and nutrition. Dogs will lose a lot of water due to vomiting and diarrhea, leading to dehydration. The best way to replenish water is to inject an intravenous drip. Medical rehydration does not mean blindly giving water to the dog directly. All methods for treating parvovirus in puppies require intravenous drips, and pet hospitals often combine medications with intravenous drips for dogs.

2. Anti-inflammatory. The role of anti-inflammation is to prevent secondary infection of parvovirus. If enteritis-type parvovirus changes into myocarditis-type parvovirus or mixed parvovirus, the treatment difficulty will be doubled, so anti-inflammatory plays a very important role in the treatment process of parvovirus.

3. Antivomiting. It is worth noting that it is generally difficult for dogs to stop diarrhea when they have parvovirus, and it is not medically recommended to stop diarrhea. Dogs with enteritis-type parvovirus will feel very uncomfortable throughout their stomachs, and excretion will make the dog feel more comfortable. The water and nutrients added to the dog must be pulled out first before it can be absorbed.

4. Insulation. It is important to keep the dog warm during the illness to prevent the dog from being invaded by other viruses.

5. Blood transfusion therapy has a good therapeutic effect on this disease, and albumin and amino acids can be transfused.

6. Some hospitals will also use traditional Chinese medicine as an auxiliary treatment. Use 15 grams of Pulsatilla, 15 grams of black plum, 5 grams of coptis, 5 grams of Phellodendri, 10 grams of turmeric and 10 grams of myrobalan to make Baiwu Decoction. Give it to your dog.
