I'm going to start something here but anyone that says to shoot them don't want to take the time and effort to save them. Kill ratio is closer to 33 percent if the pup is well taken care of. Get you a lactated ringer some liver baytril and pedia sure. The big killer of parvo is dehydration. Give them 40 to 60 cc of the lactated ringer under the skin every hour or 2 if you can raise up the cuff of their neck and it stays up they are dehydrated if it goes down pretty fast they are not too dehydrated. I like at the top of the shoulder for the shot. Pedialite works also but the pediasure has some nutrients in it. I give 1 to 11/2 cc baytril a day sometimes a hair over. It is a high amount for a pup but..... The liver we cut up into small small pieces and mixed with the pediasure. Good to get some yogart or probiotics to get good bugs back in their tummyy when they start holding stuff down. If they are worth it don't shoot them you can save at least some if you put a little effort into it. Also pm tinytexascowgirl she has saved a few also. I'm only on 3 since started this all lived but lost several before I knew all of this. Vet cost me idk how much for dead pups but with this I am 3 for 3.
