Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How to Cure Parvovirus in Dogs.

Good info there. I did not know the recommendation is to use bleach that was purchased in the last 4 months. I didn't know it had such a short shelf life.

Over the years, I've had three pups come down with parvo. (Yes they were all vaccinated) two died & the last one survived because I took him to the vet & had him hooked up to an IV & was given meds. It was expensive & the vet only gave him a 50/50 chance at surviving.

Since this topic came up, I've been looking through different websites & my take on it is that for the people who've tried the bleach method, it works, at a much higher rate than 50/50 and also much quicker ...One breeder that stood out (in my mind) used a mix of 1 teaspoon per 8 oz. of water. I'm all for vaccinations, but if that chit gets past that, I'll be trying the bleach treatment...parvo is nasty chit...kind of like ebola for dogs.

What, exactly, is the difference? Here in Idaho you can't doctor small animals (for a fee) unless you're a licensed vet.

Yeah, right, and give my dog Autism.... No thanks

A Vet who's practice consists primarily of treating farm animals learns that cost effectiveness is always a consideration. They generally don't establish themselves in cities.


A Vet who's practice is mostly with pets learns real quick that the animal don't write the check, so he's more "empathetic" than "pragmatic". And he can locate anywhere.

Only a son of a bitch is at risk for Parvo so I can't try it on myself.

You, on the other hand, strike me as one at risk. Give the bleach a try when you catch it.

Snyper
But there is no money in that solution either for the Vets., or big Pharma. so why would they accept it!!! Just saying. Cheers NC

I think thats a fairly valid observation..Difference really comes down to how (generally) farmers and pet owners view the their animals..

Hey we should try this bleach method on unruly nursing home patients. Those that keep shtting the bed, dose em up purex, hell but 20 Mule Team in their grits too. Hey we seen it on the innanet.

I think you said a cup per half gallon, right?

LOL
Read the label and get back to us

I didn't "misquote" him, since what I posted is what he said

As to "rude, contrary, mean spirited", I haven't called anyone names or hurled any insults, as the OP has

Why aren't you nagging at him too?

I pointed out that three puppies doesn't prove what the OP is claiming


LOL
No thank you

(Is that polite enough for you?)

If not, I don't much care, since you're not forced to read anything I post, and I have no obligation to please you

Sure there is, since they can mix the formula, sell it, and don't have to tell anyone the ingredients.

In the end it all comes back to the fact that drinking Cloroz has never been proven to kill Parvo

Even when used to disinfect surfaces it has to soak for 10 minutes

There is no doubt it works. I treat many hog dogs, deer dogs, cattle, horses and etc in our area free of charge for those who know me and can't afford a vets lunatic costs these days... Cuts, tears, eyes, broken bones viruses etc.. I firmly agree with Curdog the bleach treatment works.. Note ..use one tablespoon in 8 oz of distilled water with a large dropper to force through esophagus, 15 minutes, one table spoon of Pepto to follow..

on another note.. Pepto Bismo is much better for H Pylori than the full trifacto of antibiotics given for such cases..

I was just reading on another forum where several people "firmly agreed" you can cure Ebola by taking Vitamin C, and the reason the Dr's didn't tell anyone is because the Govt wants to reduce the world population

I have equal faith in their beliefs

I recall when my MIL had undergone breast cancer surgery in a San Francisco hospital in 1984 she became infected with the bacteria Serratia marcescens (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21976608). The bacteria once thought benign was used by the U.S. Navy in bacteriological warfare agent dispersal testing. The test was titled Operation Sea Spray involving bursting balloons containing Serratia marcescens over the San Francisco Bay Area on September 26 and 27 1950. By September 29 the bacteria began causing severe urinary tract infections of hospitalized patients in the test area.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serratia_marcescens The pertinent information is toward the bottom of the article.

Quoting the article: "Since 1950, S. marcescens has steadily increased as a cause of human infection, with many strains resistant to multiple antibiotics.[1] The first indications of problems with the influenza vaccine produced by Chiron Corporation in 2004 involved S. marcescens contamination."

This is the bacteria my MIL contracted during surgery. By 1985 S. marcescens had destroyed her bladder which was removed. She was sent home with an urostomy, and a supply of antibiotics I had to mix and inject twice daily. When her incision did not heal in the presence of the bacteria, the superficial sutures were removed and my wife had to pack the open incision with gauze strips saturated with a dilute sodium hypochlorite solution provided by the pharmacy. This caused the bedroom to have the aroma of a laundry. So we know that sodium hypochlorite is a medically approved treatment for some conditions.

If you live in a area with municipal water treatment, you are drinking either chloramines (http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/rulesregs/sdwa/mdbp/chloramines_index.cfm) or chlorine, either from injection of chlorine gas or a dilute solution of sodium hypochlorite into the finished water. I operated a water plant that used sodium hypochlorite at a dose that would maintain a residual of 0.5 ppm after 30 minutes of contact time (set by automated on-line analyzer). So every time you drink the water you are drinking dilute bleach. I also installed an ultraviolet light sanitation unit that killed chlorine resistant organisms and their oocysts by scrambling their DNA so they couldn't reproduce. While some use ozone (such as bottled water producers) for water disinfection, ozone is a reactive gas and breaks down within about 20-30 minutes leaving no residual. Chlorine or chloramine is mandated in a municipal system to provide a measurable residual throughout the distribution system as confirmation that the system remains disinfected. Chlorine is good for more that bleaching your shorts.

I'd try bleach first...

An old family friend who passed away in 1988 was a WWII (Pacific Theater) war vet. He used to tell me about the water tanks provided for them in the field, and that no one wanted to be at the end of the line because by then you were filling your canteen with the dregs, which meant it had a high concentration of chlorine. He said it was so strong that he could hardly drink it. I wonder what the concentration was in those tanks, particularly as it got to the last of it.

PS I never understood why the highest concentrations would be with the last of the water, but that's what he said.

They probably used tablets that slowly dissolved so that the last water to be drawn would be more highly concentrated.

Makes sense. I could see why being last in line would be a bad thing, in that case. Must have tasted pretty bad. He didn't report getting sick from it, though.
