i have an 8 week old puppy with parvo. what can we do to help treat it?

I just got back from the vet and they gave IV fluids and told us to keep her drinking and eating.

They said that she should stay but NOT required. we don't have the $60 a day right now or we would of just kept her at the vet. They told us to give her Pepto for the loose stools and give her Pedialyte.
And to give her baby food to eat. so we got Chicken and rice and beef and veggies.

My question : Is there anything else we can do to help her?

We have only had the puppy for 3 days. We cant seem to get a hold of the people we got her from.

I gave the Vet the phone number of where we got it. They said that they would Call untill someone answers the phone. Animal control was my next thought.

Yes gave a shot to her at the office and gave amoxicillin to treat at home. I was wondering if there is anything extra that we could do at home?

They also said that if she makes it till Monday then she may get better. but she is in bad shape.

Other then what we are doing for her the Vet said Put her down. We don't want to do that if there is a chance she will get better. The Vet wouldn't do anything more for her because we don't have the $60 a day right now. And they said if she did stay it would be more then a week and they cant be sure she would live. They also said that she has same chance of living at home then at the vets.

We just called the police. they are running a puppy mill. The cop said that they will check it out and then call us back. the people we got the dog from just listed 10 more different kids of puppies for sale.

get in contact with the animal control it is against the law for a breeder to sell sick dogs it takes 7-10 days for parvo to show so dog was definitely infected at breeders
also was any contract signed
there are laws in many areas you can check with animal control the breeder may be rresponsiblefor care of pup up to purchase price or a replacement puppy

the puppy could have came from a puppy mill. you could call the Vet's office or the Animal Control and have them go check it out if you remember what the address is. since you can't get a hold of them they probably knew the puppy had parvo. if that's what the vet recommended then do that and make sure every 2-3 hours you check on her(even during the night) and treat her like you would treat a baby. make sure she doesn't get too playful.

It's a MUTT, not a breed, and this is the kind of sh!t that happens when you purchase a dog from an irresponsible backyard greeder, with NO health guarantee. No one here can help you out, nor are we qualified to give any suggestions, only your vet is. Shouldn't have purchased a pup if you cannot afford vet bills. Should find the money to leave the pup at the vet's, as her chances of surviving with home treatment are slim to none.

parvo is a 50/50 disease. Sometimes the dog can be on the verge of death and pull thru but sometimes the dog can seem fine and die. It just depends on the pups willingness. I worked at a vet clinic where we treated the dogs and sent them home with antinausea meds and an electrolyte solution. We sent a dog home once that seemed to be doing pretty good and a few hours later she came back in shock. You just need to get your pup to the vet and pray he is going to get better.
