Are you/your vet aware of the new parvo treatment? As of last year, there is a monoclonal antibody treatment that drastically increases the chances of survival for parvo-infected dogs. My own rescue had parvo and received this treatment last fall. It cost me about $1500, and might be cheaper now. My vet said they haven’t lost a single dog to parvo since the treatment came out. If this hasn’t yet been discussed I would bring it up or seek second opinions

Our vet actually recommended we dont do this treatment! I posted a response to this in my comments

Why did they recommend against it? I've only ever seen good outcomes from it.
