I was lucky enough to have a Vet who taught me how to inject fluids and
to do IV's. I always keep a bag of Lactated Ringers in the house. I've
saved quite a few Siamese kittens over the years using this method.

Parvo is almost always accompanied by a very foul smelling, very loose bloody diarrhea.Good for you for getting Sparky to the emergency vet!! yes, hopefully it isn't a blockage and I will send out a prayer for Sparky. My Sophie wouldn't eat after she didn't do well after her spay. The vet showed me the slickest trick. She put a canned type dog food on a tongue depressor and would just dab it on Sophie's mouth. A dog will want to lick the dab off and YAY, you're getting food into the dog or pup=) There is syringing liquids but you have to be SO careful with that to avoid aspirating. I know people's opinions will differ with me on this but I was a vet tech and I wouldn't tell an inexperienced person to syringe a pup. A full size chi with a vet's instructions possibly. Syringing pups is really for experienced breeders. If this is going to be an ongoing problem of your pup not taking fluids, I would suggest finding a vet that would show you how to inject fluids. This is so simple to do it's crazy. It's just under the skin not in a vein or anything. To me it's much safer for a pup than syringing.
