In 2009 I lost the better part of 5 litters of foxhounds to Parvo.
We tried clorox, pepto, pedia lyte etc., etc, and still lost heavy numbers.
A few made it, and I have NO IDEA WHY !!
It seemed like the big healthy ones got it worse, I was able to keep a couple runty little things alive with the pedia lyte for several days, but their condition did not improve and lost them anyways.
Now a man does alot of thinking when your burying 25 + pups in a week .
We bleached and limed all houses, kennels and ground around them. Talked to several vets.
Most of the better vets told me to switch to a 5 way puppy shot. I listened!! I also buy the 10 dose vials of parvo vaccine and give pups 1 cc of this starting at 3 weeks. I know.. They say the mothers milk antibodies will override the vaccine, but since starting this regime, I have not lost a pup since that dreaded summer of "09" and I raise alot of pups.
Hope this helps someone down the road.
