Just an FYI. My wife called me at work several days ago and said a
friend had a small 4 month old terrier that had Parvo. A sibling from
the same litter had just died of Parvo and this one had all the
symptoms. She described the puppy as unable to stand, wouldn't eat or
drink and had constant vomiting and diarrhea. I told my wife where she
could find some silver citrate and GSE. I chose silver citrate over EIS
because the puppy wouldn't drink or eat and I felt that it would be
easiest to try putting a drop or two of a concentrated SC under the
tongue than to get it to drink EIS.
My wife made her own modifications to my suggestions and mixed together
12 oz of Pedialyte, 5 drops of GSE and enough SC to have about 60 ppm of
silver in the mixture. They put half a dropper full of the mixture in
the mouth of the puppy every hour and my wife said the puppy started
getting better almost immediately. After 4 hours it was able to stand
and drink water. And the next morning it was playing almost as if
nothing had happened. It has been two days now and the puppy is still ok
They will continue to give the puppy some of the mixture twice daily for
the next 3 to 4 days to be sure.
