Following is a post by Brooks Bradley, outlining methods that his group have found effective in treating animals in that condition... Pay particular attention to his postcript.

Have you considered using an enema to administer the CS component? We have experienced profound success using this methodology in the past. In fact, it is the method we first found successful in addressing parvo in puppies. Additionally, we found the stress factors much reduced through this protocol. In some cases, it was the ONLY truly successful approach for some cat afflictions....as some older adults were highly stressed by any type of IV/Sub-cutaneous injections.....particularly those individuals subject to "needle-shock" reactions. Unless the subject is very unruly, and/or the administrator is rough in technique....enemas are quite desireable as a means of administering CS to felines (this also includes much larger members of the cat family). One experimental protocol you might consider would be 200 ml of 10 to 20 ppm colloidal silver, 10 ml of DMSO (full strength).....mixed together by pouring the DMSO into the parent CS and allowing a few minutes for the heating reaction to stabilize. Check solution to assure temperature is low enough to be comfortable to the subject, before administering the enema. Administer steadily, but not in unusual haste, Use the smallest douche nozzle practical...the cat will appreciate this. I wish you the most pronounced success in helping your animal friend. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. p.s. One may substitute Gatorade or Ringer's Lactate for the DMSO fraction; but if this is the choice....the percentages should be approximately 1 part 20 ppm CS for 1 part Gatorade, extended to the chosen total volume. For Parvo victims we preferred the Gatorade fraction.....primarily for the advantage of volumetric enhancement of the fluid electrolyte balance and H20 replacement required by the afflicted puppy. We have found that administering balanced fluid electrolytes via enemas, to be about 75% to 80% as rapid (by clock time)....as through IV administration....for parvo in very young puppies. -- -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
