Parvo Emergency Tea – What It Is, And What It Is Not
March 9th, 2010The Canine Parvo virus quite often strikes at the least opportune moment (although there’s never a good moment for your doggie to be attacked by Canine Parvo, of course) – you may find it’s 3:00am on a Sunday morning, and the veterinary clinic is closed.
So, what can you do?
You might already know that Parvo dogs often dehydrate swiftly, and that’s why vets are likely to put them on an intravenous drip, but of course intravenous drips usually aren’t something you could just locate at Walmart.
In case you don’t know about the perils associated with dehydration, a fast research session using the web will almost immediately point you in the right direction.
The good thing is that there is a home hydration therapy that is, in most occasions, at least as efficacious as IV fluids and also Sub Q fluids …
… and it’s generally known as the Parvo Emergency Tea Recipe.
What is it?
It is something you can make in your own kitchen, making use of products it is easy to buy at just about all good supermarkets or pharmacies, and it is made to do a number of assorted jobs.
First of all, it is an all-natural electrolyte liquid that can help prevent your sick dog from dehydrating. (We realize that many people, including vets, are likely to propose administering Gatorade or Pedialyte for this purpose, yet unfortunately our experience indicates that both of these products may cause further vomiting, and that is the last thing you’re after if your dog has got the Canine Parvovirus.)
Second, it can actually help to minimise any throwing up – without the need for chemical-based substances that may cause, not surprisingly, even more complications.
Thirdly, some of the ingredients in the Parvo Emergency Tea will help strengthen your dog’s immune system, which will undoubtedly be under major assault from the Parvovirus.
So, there are a few details you should know about this emergency tea, the most important of which is that you need to give it every single hour, and that does mean both day and night, until you can begin the full Parvo treatment.
The thing is, you’re in essence behaving like a human IV drip, and one of the most important factors in the treatment of the Canine Parvovirus is almost always to administer limited quantities of liquid regularly – mainly because not only is dehydration a danger with this virus, but so is overhydration too.
However , even more essential than that, you must understand that the Parvo Emergency Tea is NOT intended take care of the Parvo virus – although it does attempt to mimic the Parvaid supplement by means of easily-available ingredients, it isn’t nearly strong enough to treat your sick doggie.
You must therefore NOT count on this tea recipe to get your suffering dog well once more – it was made to buy you some time and keep him going until you can get suitable treatment up and running (and we do, of course, recommend the Parvo Treatment Kit).
While it is true that a tiny quantity of puppies do seem to pull through by using only the Parvo Tea (combined with a great deal of TLC), we’ve found this happens in about 0.1% of cases – which is approximately one pup out of every 1,000!
Are you ready to bet that your family pet could possibly be the single fortunate doggie in a 1,000?
We certainly wouldn’t – our dogs are way too important to us.
Accordingly, though we’d invariably recommend you to make and then give the Parvo Emergency Tea as soon as you observe any of the traditional Parvo virus symptoms (i.e. not eating, not drinking, not playing / being lethargic, dehydration, depression, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, vomiting, fever or chills), please, for the health of your doggie, be sure you get him treated without delay!
One of our customers had a puppy that died just 5 hours after the very first attack of diarrhea, which just goes to show how potent the Canine Parvo virus has become. This is so speedy that you barely have enough time to react, which is one of the reasons why we highly encourage all dog owners to keep a Home Parvo Treatment Kit around all the time – just in case.
