About Parvovirus
Parvo is a viral disease that affects dogs. This illness can cause severe digestive symptoms, as well as fever and shock and may even prove fatal. Parvovirus attacks rapidly dividing cells like those in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract as well as developing white blood cells. In this way parvovirus leads to symptoms like bloody diarrhoea, vomiting and loss of proper immune system functioning. Puppies are more commonly and more severely affected than adult dogs due to their still-developing immune system. Puppies can easily succumb to this disease, especially when the virus infects the muscle of the heart.
The first indications of Parvo in an infected dog are usually high fever, lethargy and loss of appetite. Later, vomiting and diarrhoea develop. The stool is often bloody and may have a yellowish color and noticeably foul odour. Without effective treatment, dehydration, shock and even death may follow.
How do dogs contract Parvovirus?
Canine parvovirus is carried by dogs, many of whom show no symptoms themselves. The virus is also shed in the diarrhoea of infected dogs and can subsequently survive in the ground and the outside environment for a very long time - even several months. Parvo is a very hardy virus and will survive most household cleaning and disinfectant agents. Chlorine bleach is the most effective way to kill parvovirus and is the usual recommendation by vets. Highly contagious to any unprotected dog, parvovirus may come into your home or yard very easily. Car tires, shoes, rodents and birds may all carry the virus into your pet’s vicinity. This means that even if your dog never leaves your property, it may still be difficult to provide adequate protection from this virus.
Which dogs are more likely to contract Parvo?
Certain canine breeds seem to be more susceptible to Parvo, including Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers, but all dogs can contract Parvovirus.
How is Parvo diagnosed?
As diarrhoea may be caused by a number of other illnesses, Parvo needs to be carefully diagnosed either with a blood test or testing of the dog’s faeces.
How is Parvo usually treated?
According to conventional vets, there is no known cure for Parvovirus. Conventional treatment is therefore mostly supportive and consists of maintaining the dog’s body fluids, balancing electrolyte levels, controlling vomiting and diarrhoea and maintaining body temperature.
The Natural Way
Homeopathic treatment for Parvo has long been the only viable method of treating the actual disease as conventional medicine can only provide supportive treatment. Herbal remedies also have a role to play in relieving symptoms and shortening the natural course of the disease for quicker recovery.
What about vaccination?
One way to avoid parvo infection is to make sure that your dog is fully vaccinated. This is, however, easier said than done. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to successfully vaccinate a puppy for this disease and vaccination every few weeks in the first few months of life is commonly recommended by conventional vets. This is because the immunity a puppy acquires from its mother can interfere with the vaccination process. Because of the difficulty in conferring lifelong immunity to parvovirus via vaccination, most conventional vets also recommend that adult dogs receive a yearly vaccination against this disease for life. The practice of repeated vaccination is, however, a controversial issue amongst holistic and homeopathic vets, who view vaccination as a threat to strong immune functioning.

How has PetAlive Parvo-K helped others?
"I am so grateful for your Petalive Parvo remedy. My poor dog contracted parvo - I have no idea how but seems like it’s everywhere these days - and I didn’t know what to do. The vet basically told me there’s nothing much that can be done but keep him hydrated until he gets better (or doesn’t). I was horrified!! I did some research on my own and found Parvo-K. I showed it to my vet who is quite open-minded and he said it was worth a try so we gave it to Emma. Within 2 days she was looking a million times better and the vet said he had never seen such a dramatic recovery! I think he has been convinced about natural remedies - I know I have! Thank you so much! Without your remedy my Emma may not even be here today."

"I bought my daughter a puppy for her 14th birthday as she has been begging for a pet for years. You can’t imagine how distraught she was when this little slip of a thing fell ill and was diagnosed with Parvo. A friend who has used your remedies in the past ordered Parvo-K for us and I am so pleased she did. This little puppy perked up soon after starting the remedy and seems to have no after-effects of this illness at all. We were so worried that even if he survived, that he would be weak or have irreversible effects of the disease for the rest of his life. Thank goodness this does not seem to be the case at all. The Petalive site will be our first stop for any future health problems this little puppy may have."

What are the Ingredients?
PetAlive Parvo-K contains the following 100% natural ingredients:
Arsen alb. (6C) is a homeopathic remedy often used for digestive upsets including cramping, vomiting and diarrhoea. Also good for dogs showing signs of lethargy and irritability.
Verat. alb. (6C) is a homeopathic remedy for violent vomiting, cramps and diarrhoea. This remedy is particularly useful for dogs with fever and dehydration which are both common and dangerous in Parvovirus.
Belladonna (30C) is used homeopathically for fast relief from acute fever, pain, inflammation and all illnesses with a sudden and severe onset. Thirst, fever and swollen/tender abdomen are further indications for Belladonna.
Parvo (30C) is a homeopathic remedy used both prophylactically (preventatively) and curatively in the treatment of canine Parvovirus. Homeopathic nosodes are similar to vaccines in that they help to build protection and resistance against specific diseases. They differ to conventional vaccines in that they are usually manufactured from the products of diseases rather than from a culture of the disease agent or virus itself (as in many conventional vaccines.) Research has shown a high rate of success in the treatment and prevention of Canine Parvovirus using this homeopathic 'vaccine' in contrast to the conventional vaccination which seldom confers immunity without numerous subsequent booster shots.
Zingiber officinale (Ginger) has a long history of medicinal use in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic (Indian) medicine. Working mainly in the digestive tract, Zingiber boosts digestive fluids and neutralizes acids, making it an effective alternative to conventional anti-nausea medication. Modern research confirms its effectiveness in relieving the symptoms of nausea, vomiting, indigestion and flatulence. Zingiber has strong anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties and is also used to treat arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.
Agrimonia eupatoria (Agrimony) helps to relieve diarrhoea, reduces inflammation of the mucus membranes and soothes restless animals. This herb has been used for centuries in the treatment of digestive disease including colitis and diarrhoea. Agrimony is a bitter, mildly astringent, tonic, diuretic herb that may help control bleeding, improve liver and gall bladder functions, treat fever and have anti-inflammatory effects.
PetAlive Parvo-K contains no gluten, artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.

Cathy's Tips:
Parvo is a nasty and serious disease and any treatment undertaken should be under veterinary supervision. Infected animals need intensive, supportive therapy such as intravenous fluids and close monitoring.
Puppies die due to a combination of dehydration and shock and an infected puppy can deteriorate very rapidly.
Bloody diarrhoea with vomiting is always cause for concern, even if your dog has been conventionally vaccinated it may still contract Parvo. Consult your vet as a matter of urgency if your dog shows these symptoms.
In the event of your dog having Parvo remember that it is highly contagious and the virus can be carried on your shoes and your clothes. Do not go and visit households with other dogs for at least 3 weeks after your dog has recovered from its Parvo infection.
Disinfect affected areas of your house and garden with bleach, it is advisable to discard all your dog’s bedding to minimise the chances of ongoing environmental contamination.
When you choose a puppy always select a healthy puppy, don’t be drawn in by the cute factor of the runt of the litter, these smaller and underweight puppies and often more susceptible to infections.
Cat Parvo, also known as Cat Flu is caused by a panleukopaenia virus and tends to affect young kittens, it is characterised by destruction of the white blood cells and is often fatal.
Remember prevention is better than cure so use PetAlive Parvo-K preventatively and further boost your precious pet’s immune system with PetAlive Immunity and Liver Support.
