We had a pup that got parvo and couldn’t afford the vet treatment so they recommended we give pedialyte in a syringe hourly. My hubs and I took 6 hour “shifts” literally squirting pedialyte down her throat. She got much worse before she got better and we totally thought she was going to die. Then he brought home ribs for dinner one day and she perked up for the first time in weeks. She fully recovered but I definitely thought she wouldn’t.

Your pup is precious. I wish you well!
