In an attempt to help out my community's less fortunate I visited a badly run, very dirty high kill animal shelter around the 28th of March, not realising the danger of parvo contaminating my shoes and exposing my dogs to the disease... ten days later i had two very ill dogs; a 9 week old puppy and his mother. I also had seven more puppies at risk of getting sick too. That was when i placed a rush order for Vibactra and Parvaid. The vet had the first two on IV's at his office(at the cost of $1500) when a day later another puppy became very sick with the same symptoms. the Vibactra arrived just in time. I was up ALL NIGHT with her giving her the special emergency parvo tea as well as the recommended dosing of Vibactra. The next morning the vet called to tell my other two were well and ready to come home but also said not to panic yet over the other puppy, just bring her in to confirm parvo and we would go from there.....
Well.... even though she was vomiting, had SMELLY diarrhea, and was very lethargic.... her parvo test was negative. She was also worm free and showed no other signs of having any other diseases.... They really couldnt figure out why she was acting sick because she should have been in perfect puppy health... But, while at the office and as the day wore on she perked up and was back to normal. Weird huh? After her mother and brother were diagnosed with parvo her test came back negative of parvo.
To stay on the safe side i kept dosing the rest of the puppies and added Parvaid to the arsenal when it arrived that following monday. It's been two and a half weeks and no one else has gotten sick(following the proper quarantine/clean up measures also helped)
During this ordeal I did a LOT of research on parvo as well as talked to the vet. he is NOT into holistic medicine and is a borderline skeptic, but open minded enough to say "just because i have never heard of a parvo puppy surviving without vet intervention doesnt mean it hasnt happened."
I dont think he's stepped out beyond what he's learned in vet school(he's still rather young) But after everything i read it sounded like parvo is easily misdiagnosed. BUT even dogs diagnosed with it have been cured at home(using the emergency tea which is quite easy to find online and make at home) as well as using Vibactra and Parvaid. Once you do the research on how the disease works and how these products work you feel rather uplifted and confident and upset that so many dogs have been put to sleep or suffered needlessly. Though usually the reason they suffered is because Parvo puppies take a LOT of round the clock care. You WILL miss work, or risk getting fired just to save your dog.
It was an expensive lesson to learn, but i dont regret it. I feel like this product and Parvaid helped us dodge a bullet. I could afford two dogs to be at the vet's(thanks to care credit) but i couldnt afford NINE dogs all at once! I feel like if i hadnt tried this i would be a very depressed dogless person right about now.
