Par-gone is an all natural product sold for dogs with Parvo Virus with field trials showing 35 out of 36 dogs saved. Their product contains: Active Ingredient is Calcium, Inactive Ingredients are Corn Starch, spearmint and sucrose. Adequate hydration is strongly recommended.
Since Corn Starch and Rice Flour mixed with water is given to infants with watery diarrhea, 1 to 5 teaspoons of corn starch in half a glass of pure water.
Spearmint herb has much the same properties as peppermint, but is milder and good for use with children's complaints. A sweetened infusion of spearmint herb is used for digestive ailments in infants including colic in babies. Spearmint tea will relieve hiccough, flatulence as well as indigestion, digestive disorders including gas, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, upper gastrointestinal tract spasms, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The main active ingredients in spearmint are Mint L-carvone and limonene. The leaves are the parts of the plant that are used for their essential oils that contain menthol and flavonoids containing about 50% carvone, rosmarinic acid. It has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties.
Calcium is known to be constipating. Here is the what and how to take the calcium information if you suffer from diarrhea. Calcium is an OTC supplement we all do not usually get enough of. No Rx needed to purchase this. When you take calcium about 40% of the dose gets to the bones the rest is eliminated in our waste. The calcium goes to the intestines and soaks up excess fluids and binds them together and they are gotten rid of in our waste. This is a process that can be continued by taking the calcium carbonate on a regular basis.
Preparation Methods & Dosage:
Here is my backward engineered recipe.
Boil 3 cups of purified water (not tap water, distilled is the best for this). Add 1 teaspoonful of spearmint herb (found in the spice isle at a grocery store) to a glass or ceramic bowl that a flat plate can be fitted too. Pour hot water into the bowl with spearmint herb in. Immediately cover with flat plate to prevent steam from escaping along with the healing oils locked inside the herb. Wait 20 minutes. Uncover and filter tea thru a paper coffee filter. Discard coffee filter and pulp. Next add one crushed up calcium tablet and 2 teaspoonful of corn starch or rice flour to the tea. Mix until uniformed. Administer oral with a turkey baster and anal with a disposable enema bottle. Repeat every 4 hours or as needed.
70 puppies PER YEAR - as referenced by "Carol" in a question about distemper but it's on the page about charcoal's efficacy when used for parvo. Sorry, I forgot to link to the page. Distemper is another very expensive problem for puppy mills...pffft...poor dogs...I'd definitely get some marshmallow in them at the first sign of any issue. Plus the charcoal, of course. ALWAYS charcoal. Both are harmless as well as herbally "magical"!

Puppy mills are a breeding ground for parvo. Anybody that "loses" 70 puppies in a year is running a puppy mill and is only concerned about the loss of profit and cutting vet bills - if they even have a vet. But God loves everybody and I love God - and dogs - so give the poor mama dogs some marshmallow root. They're probably carriers. And give the puppies a dropperful of marshmallow tea a couple times per day so they don't get sick. Then slap yourself in the face really hard and pretend it was me because God might love everybody but I ain't Him.
You probably won't post this comment but this is the last place I would expect to encounter such people. I'm just so thankful for a God that unconditionally loves those I can't. Nobody should be unloved.
EC: Hi Cindy, where is the post you are referring to?
Not sure about the dosage of MMS. Since the dog is extremely small, treat them is if you would a baby. In other words, using what you would in an adult dose, take the child's body weight and add one drop (example 10 lbs = 10drops) then divide this into 3 equal dosages for the day (10 drops divided by 3 = 3 ½ drops give or take).
If MMS does not seem to be working, you can try this;
Colloidal Silver 10ppm– Testimonial: I also had a litter of puppies to come down with Parvo. I lost 2 of them before I realized what they had. I then started pouring full syringes of colloidal silver down the throats of the other 4 puppies and saved them. (My friend had told me to try the colloidal silver on the puppies). I have since saved several more dogs with parvo.

I have a 1.8 lb toy poodle with parvo. We just bought her from a breeder and she started symptoms 5 days later so she had it already. My question is how much mms would I put in a syringe with pedialite to give her? I am using AC, grapefruit seed extract and got the meds from the vet for home treatment. From what I've read about mms it seems like it might be the better option. Just not sure on dosage.
"arsenicum album (2 pills placed in a 2 ounce amber spritzer bottle, hit on palm of hand 8 times before each dose) last night 1 dose per hour for 4 hours and I think two doses of the DE at 1/2 teaspoon per dose"
I for some reason don't understand the application here. How did you administer the DE?
What does it mean to hit on the palm of the hand?
And where did you Spritz? Sorry but I just don't understand the application of the remedy here. Picking up puppies today and want to be ahead of any problems. Thank you
The most commonly known benefit of diatomaceous earth is that it dries the exoskeleton of bugs, as you mention.
That does not exclude it being helpful for viruses, bacteria, and fungi. I believe that the theory is that diatomaceous earth is negatively charged and adsorbs positively charged bacteria, viruses, etc, thus neutralizing them.
Adsorb, by the way, is not the same as absorb. (I think of "adsorb" like "adhere.") Charcoal also works by the process of adsorbtion.
I could not disagree with you more!! I use Diamotaceous Earth on infections all-the-time, and it works every-single-time! I think this is due to it having a tiny electrical charge which zaps the bad bacteria, germs, or whatever. I sprinkle the D.E. on the infected area. I do not cover or anything else, I just walk around looking like some powder fell on me and I didn't notice. The stuff clings to the area of infection where it's needed and the rest falls off. D.E. has taken out some serious infections for me, ones I was worried about.
I know you believe it was bad info, but just because it's not in your experience does not mean it isn't true. Please try it yourself on an infection before you tell people stuff like that. Words have power, especially written ones. We wouldn't want anyone to turn away from a healing agent like D.E. simply due to a lack of personal experience.
My Roxii, is a 2 month old pit mix. I have lost a couple puppies due to this virus(and ignorance on my part). I learned a lot about what I was doing wrong by reading your post. I hope you can help as I have already fallen in love with her and really don't want to lose her. Roxii is still playful for the most part, she is showing signs of wearing down easier and ive today noticed a small amount of bloody fluid in her stool which is becoming less solid. I did vaccinate her 1wk ago because we generally just do. But I'm afraid I may have been too late or she already had the virus when she got here. Either way, I want to save her, in my experience it is a horrific way to go!!
Really I found that Pedialyte alone is all I needed. Until one puppy that I was bottle braking got sick then when to straight goats milk. Fresh is best but you can get it at your local supercenter (Walmart).
I also cured my puppy with parvo with activated charcoal and mms. She was only a couple of months old, so I gave her .5-1 drop activated mms, 3x/day. In between, I give her activated charcoal with lots of water and electrolytes from a needle-less syringe. Keep them hydrated as much as possible. It took 2-3 days. I use mms for everything. It's a miracle cure.

I have a Staffordshire terrier/pitbull that is older but I'm not sure of her age. I rescued her from someone who dumped her. She has parvo symptoms and that is what brought me to this site for right now I can't afford to go to a vet at this point in time.
I'm using activated charcoal and I just made a pot of chicken broth using 3 whole carrots, ground up fennel seed, salt and a whole chicken. I'm happy for she just lapped up some of the broth that I placed in her dog crate. I was going out to buy a syringe but think I may not need it at the moment. I'm going to keep offering her the broth every hour and later offer her chicken. I just want to let those know that they say fennel seed has very good properties for the flu or flu/cold/covoid virus..also helps soothe upset stomach. I am surely happy that she is drinking, but she is not yet out of the woods. I think adding the ground fennel seed and the activated charcoal caps that I have on hand will cure her. I grind the fennel seeds in a coffee grinder.
There is some strong speculation around anecdotal data that the distemper vaccine created a susceptibility to Parvo.
According to Don Hamilton DVM, in his book Homeopathic Care for Cats and Dogs, the canine parvovirus pandemic of the late 1970s led to the idea of the necessity of annual vaccinations for dogs while there is no scientific evidence that this is necessary or beneficial. Most puppy vaccines give at least 5-7 years of protection, many being provided a lifetime of protection.
Lost my pup from a a parvo vaccine he was fine and playful before the shot then got full blown parvo wish I had known about this before now. I had to give a new pup the vaccine and same scenario... got symptoms after the vaccine. I came across this site gave him this formula and he is doing ok
I love your post Tammie and thank you for that info. At the same time I can't help but wonder if the vet visit had anything to do with the pup getting sick. As I child I just can't remember Parvo being a household name as it is now.....
It was just a thought that occurred to me when I read your post.
I've cured parvo in puppies about 8 times so far with grapefruit seed extract.
I dilute 5 drops in 1 ounce of water and give them a couple dropper fulls of the mixture every hour around the clock until they start to feel better, I then reduce to two hours and so on. I continue the treatment for a couple days.
Once there was two pups from a litter who were sick, my puppy and one another person was purchasing...I tried pursuing him to have me try cure him but he decided to bring it to the vet. 600$ later and a dead puppy, mine was thriving and back on its feet. It worked every time for me!
We are 14 days out or so and my puppy continues to improve. He is fat, happy n playful...
I just wanted to add we never forced his head back to administer meds we did it as gently as posdible just lifting his lip and shooting it threw his teath. Some came out but some got in..and since I tried both Pepto and charcoal on 2 separate dogs I have to say the charcoal works better...but in a pinch, the Pepto is a good second...
Also I learned the hard way when they first start eating the have to be limited and fed small portions several times a day or they overeat and distend their stomachs...
I also want to thank everyone who contributed their learned knowledge to help save Kitkat ..and offer condolences to those who lost their dogs my heart goes out to you and the only comfort is knowing they died being loved and cared for and not alone ...and if you're fighting parvo now, keep fighting. All is not hopeless and with the treatments on this site, they got a chance.
2 to 4 activated charcoal tablets with magnesium..cvs anti gass brand
1 probiotics capsule.
1 raw egg( the egg separate) only gave after gagging stopped on day 5.
Raw coconut oil( would rub his gums and tongue with it and try to get some down him )
Marijana smoke ( we would blow a small amount around him before forcing solution )it stopped him from gagging so much.
Every 2 hours first 3 or 4 days gave mixture without fail.
Day 5 he looked like he would die. We just kept up the schedule every 2 hours trying to force as much solution as possible..set an alarm waking hours ever 2 hours sleeping hours every 3 or 4 hours..we all work and or school this was not easy ..we look like zombies the puppy looks better.
Day 6 started forcing raw egg in addition to the solution.
Day 7 he is up playing and drinking and eating on his own...i made him boiled chicken n rice he eats like he is starving and has normal bowl movements I think we won...i am going to continue with the charcoal solution for a few more days.
They may look worse before they look better ..just keep dosing them with electrolyte and fluid n charcoal. Stay on schedule set alarms ... I felt like giving up thought was a lost cause ..but I think he will make it ..now...on day 5 we started with the egg this seemed to snap him out of his coma. Like state but prior to this the egg came straight up ..i think you got to get them holding the fluids first ..but they do need the egg after a few days ...
If you plan to save them don't plan to sleep...but they can be saved.
Oh also loving on him a lot and telling him we love him and want him and praying to God.
This is the second dog I saved ..the first one I used Pedialyte and Pepto..both survived.
The number one thing is to be their iv pole ..squirt fluids in their mouth as much as humanly possible...don't stop and don't give up ..stay on schedule. That's the key..

Was the someone a grandma? (Old wives tales are often true.) When my year old daughter hadn't been able to keep anything down in days and our doctor shouldve been charged with neglect, my mother-in-law called from miles away. She told me to get the white of an egg, add a wee pinch of salt and to stir it (not beat) gently, then to give it to my daughter. It coats the stomach lining and was what probably saved my child. My son's life was saved with goat's milk yogurt so mixing the two together seems like pretty sound advice as we, and even our creatures, are all unique and sometimes respond to what doesn't work for others. Thanks for reminding me. Ive got a small pup down with parvo and am getting the egg white now.

OMG! OMG! I've lost 3 dogs total to parvo over the last 8 years. (Chihuahuas) Just recently in the last 2 days I lost the 3rd puppy to parvo. Now I have an entire litter of 4 puppies sick with either parvo or distemper! None would eat or drink anything for 3 days! I thought I was going to die from stress! Through trial and error, I have discovered that these things work wonders and I would swear by it. We aren't out of the woods yet but I had to share this because they haven't moved in 3 days. Haven't eaten or drank but a slurp here and there. Vomiting, gagging, diareah.....the whole 9 yards. I went to TSC and the health food store and purchased these things:
* GOATS MILK! Puppy formula and real raw goats milk in bottles from the Amish market
* Activated Charcoal and Pepto Bismol
* Pet Natural Care "Kaopectate"
* Pedialyte of course!
Came home, pumped my puppies full of all that! They gobbled down the goat's milk and were immediately up playing within 2 minutes. The one puppy tired out pretty quick. But the other 2 are up roaming around. These dogs had not budged for 3 days! 3 whole days! And they are up playing! And running and drinking water!
Look me up on Facebook, send me a msg if you are in panic mode about your dog! I'll help explain everything I did! I just literally saved the rest of my litter! On a budget of $100.00! I'm seriously pissed I didn't know about these things before! I miss my best friends that passed! So I'm posting this in honor of them to save the life of a dog or puppy or litter!

About Theresa
Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.
Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.
Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and fueled her quest for the knowledge held in lore, and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

"Can I give my 9 week old Jack Russel baby, children's ibuprofen? I have the chewable ones. Her symptoms don't exactly match the parvo symptoms. She is lethargic and has slept several hours today. She wants to get up but shes showing neurological difficulties. Like she may be dizzy."
Hello Sharon,
DO NOT give your dog Ibuprofen - you will poison it. Please see your vet NOW for a proper diagnosis as to why you are seeing neurological symptoms in your puppy.
how is your dog po? same po tayo my doxie is suffering 3rd day from parvo he ate hotdog early in the morning but he vomited it. I am giving him pedialyte only 5mins ago cuz I cant find AC here :( hoping he'll be okay with only pedialyte :( I'm always crying
I have a 3 month old dachshund and she is suffering from parvo right now, it's been 4 days now. She's 3 kilogram, How much ACV will I gave her? is it okay for her? she's not eating at all and she's not drinking by herself. Her poop has a blood and she's vomitting. What can I do to make her better? please help me, Thanks
I am a little confused about the AA and the eight sprizers on the hand before each dose. Can it be used with collidal silver for parvo. Im wondering how to administer the Arsenicum. Thank you so much
I lost two puppies to parvo but I could not give up. I got Nugget on June 8 2017 and she was fine, but started her on Parvo-K June 12 I took her to the vet for her first shot and to be wormed. She became very sick with parvo that night. I add the active charcoal, Apple Cider Vinegar and pediatric electrolyte w zinc. I used 1 table spoon of charcoal, 1 teaspoon of Vinegar and 1cup of electrolyte. Started every hour for 4 hours. Then every 2 hours till she stop vomiting and returned to almost normal. She now on the mix every 5 hours. She is eating and going to the bathroom normally. I think we are over the worst. THANK YOU for all of the help, your information saved her life and my heart.

Bonnie and her Brother Clyde were found in a burlap sack in a very deep ditch, and has come down with parvo. I took her to the vet and have I.V. solution but as you know the diarrhea and stomach upset are a big issue. I mixed coconut water with coconut milk and aloe vera water to help with hydration and to get some nutrient in her. I also gave her some pepto to help with stomach upset. I will keep you posted but she is no longer fighting the coconut water mix but is allowing me to put it in her mouth so she can drink it.

So, with your remedy which is good on your site with Parvovirus in puppies. You can add some of the following. I will state the reasoning as well for this natural remedy:
1. Hot English Mustard Powder
Reasoning: Parvovirus is an intestinal parasite (Bacteria, viral etc). The bacteria multiply in the intestines similar to that of worms. Administering Hot English Mustard powder eliminates and helps eradicate these parasites inside the intestines and bowel.
Dosage: A tiny little bit - around the size of a small capsule 5mm size.
Administration: This should be administered dry, and directly onto the tongue/toward the back of the throat. Have a syringe ready with some boiled and cooled (sterile) water to wash down the mustard powder. It does burn, but subsides very fast. As soon as the pup/dog has swallowed most of it, slowly syringe it down with some cool (room temperature) water. Any change in temperature may affect the very sensitive intestinal area. You can either use your finger to put it at the back of the tongue (safest), or a spoon (not advised as most pups will bite down on this and damage their teeth).

Activated Charcoal, Colloidal Silver, Coconut Water
Posted by Janet (South Africa) on 04/17/2017 ★★★★★
Hi I followed the advice you gave using Activated Charcoal and Colloidal silver and coconut water and it has really helped my puppy. She is 8 weeks old . No diarrhea but still needs a bit of coaxing to eat her food. Giving her chicken broth and a bit of puppy kibble. Thank you so much! You helped to save my baby girl.
After reading all these post I was in tears 😠hoping I could of brought back Chappie. I watched this virus deteriorate my poor pup's body in nearly 72 hours. He was on IV and antibiotics but but he just couldn't hold down the meds. He's vomited and stool continuously. I knew he wouldn't make it when the Vet told me his vains collapsed. I urge others to vaccinate your dogs and don't give up on them.
This truly worked miracles! 1 teaspoon organic apple cider vinegar with mother. One 20 oz soda bottle, two ground/smashed up tablespoons activated charcoal. (Bought fish tank baggie from Pet Smart.) A half teaspoon table salt, drizzle of honey, sugar or maple syrup. Boiled ham juice, or hamburger grease to entice dog to drink!! And in 24 hours my dog was 98% better!! At first I put hole in the bottle cap and slowly squeezed in her mouth. Then added it to dry food so it could adsorb the liquid mix. She is so so much better. I was about to dig a hole....
