i had a pup with parvo, i kept him hydrated as best i could orally, but  also gave him shots of sterile water just under the skin between his shoulders. it makes a pocket of water under the skin that his body will absorbe. there is a name for doing that, but i cant remember what it is. the size of the pocket depends on the size of the dog. my pup was about 3lbs so i gave him one about half the size of a baseball or a little smaller. if you've never done it, you may want to let your vet do it and watch how. hope that helps.
