Parvo Emergency Tea recipe
Take a look at my
healing parvo webpage at
http://www.parvopuppy.com/heal_parvo.htm
It has some good information that might be
useful to you.
Here is the Emergency
Tea Recipe:
(Please note: This
recipe may help
sustain your parvo
puppy until you can
get the
Parvaid and Vibactra
Plus, but it is NOT
the full strength
Parvaid)
Warning: Do not use
this recipe with
other treatments
where the
ingredients
are unknown. Doing
so could be fatal to
your dog. Always
check with a
qualified or
knowledgeable person
before combining
treatments.
You will need these
ingredients (these
ingredients can be
found in most
major supermarkets
with pharmacies):
1 cup Pedialyte (or
electrolyte fluid)
2 tea bags herbal
Peppermint with
Spearmint tea ( We
recommend Bigelow's
Mint Medley but if
you can't find
Bigelow look for one
that has both
peppermint and
spearmint) DO NOT
GET TEA WHICH
CONTAINS CAFFEINE.
2 teabags of
chamomile tea DO NOT
GET TEA WHICH
CONTAINS CAFFEINE
2 capsules Echinacea
(This can usually be
found at Wal-Mart or
your pharmacy
if it carries a line
of natural products)
2 Teaspoons Finely
chopped garlic
(A few things you
may want to pick up
at the supermarket
or have on hand
are: Beef Broth or
Chicken Broth,
syringes, a child
size disposable
enema )
Heat 1 cup of
Pedialyte until hot
but do not boil. Add
2 tea bags of mint
tea, 2 tea bags of
chamomile tea, empty
2 capsules of
Echinacea, and add 2
Tsp. of fresh
garlic.
Stir, put a lid on
it and let steep for
20 min.
As per the following
table give one dose,
wait 15 minutes then
give another
dose, then give a
dose every hour
after that.
If your dog weighs:
Under 3 lbs give 1
teaspoons
4-10 lbs. give 2
teaspoons
11-20 lbs. give 1
tablespoons
21-30 lbs. give 2
tablespoons
31-40 lbs. give 3
tablespoons
41-50 lbs. give 4
tablespoons
51-60 lbs. give 5
tablespoons
61-70 lbs. give 6
tablespoons
71-80 lbs. give 7
tablespoons
81-90 lbs. give 8
tablespoons
We recommend you put
your dog on an
ant-biotic to
prevent secondary
infections such as
pneumonia. We
recommend
Vibactra
Plus
or Colloidal
Silver both kill
viruses, bacteria,
and fungus across
the board, plus
single celled
organisms such as
coccidia protozoan.
We only use natural
antibiotics as they
are far more effective
against a wider
range of pathogens
than what
traditional
antibiotics and
in some cases, the
natural antibiotic
can make the
difference of
whether a
puppy survives.
If your dog is
vomiting and will
not keep the tea
down you can give
some Pepto-Bismol or
bentonite clay,
wait 15 minutes,
then try the tea
again. If that does
not work your dog may be too
dehydrated, so give
an enema with the
same amount of tea
you are giving for
an oral dose. Every
single parvo puppy I
have ever treated
has gotten
at least one enema.
More enema
information is on my
healing parvo
webpage above.
Watch for
dehydration.
If the gums go light
pink, gray, or white
you need to get
fluids into your dog
as soon as possible.
Pinch the skin, it
should go
"Instantly" back
into place like it
does when you pinch
the skin on your own
arm, if it doesn't
your dog is
dehydrated.
You can take your
dog to a vet and get
intravenous fluids,
or you can do an
enema. The
large intestine will
act the same as the
small and will
absorb fluids. So
doing an enema is
another way of
putting fluids back
into the body.
Empty the contents
out of the infant
disposable enema (or
use a syringe) and
put the suggested
amount of tea into
it. Use as much of
the tea recipe as
you give by mouth.
For example: if you
are giving 1
teaspoon by mouth
then give 1 teaspoon
by enema. Do
not stop giving the
tea by mouth.
You will give the
enema and the tea by
mouth every hour
until the dog has
kept the tea down by
mouth at least 2
times (give the
enema first then
give the tea by
mouth) AND until the
puppy's gums are a
nice dark pink and
when you pinch their
skin it goes
INSTANTLY back into
place like it does
when you pinch the
skin on your own
arm.
More parvo puppies
DIE of dehydration
than they do of the
parvo virus itself,
so it is of UTMOST
importance to make
sure your puppy is
properly hydrated.
If it takes 1 or 2
seconds for their
skin to go back into
place when you pinch
it, they ARE
dehydrated!! IF this
occurs, you MUST
give the puppy
enemas and oral
doses EVERY hour on
the hour, until
their gums are a
nice dark pink and
you pinch their skin
and it goes
INSTANTLY back into
place. THEN and ONLY
then, you can give
just the hourly oral
doses.
We have found
100%
New Zealand
Colostrum
is excellent to
provide some protein,
stabilize blood
sugars, and boosts the
immune system of our
worst case scenario
puppies we have
worked with.
Puppies who aren't
keeping oral fluids
down can tolerate
just having the dry
powder put in their
mouths every hour.
Those who are
keeping fluids down
well, can often
tolerate the NZ
Colostrum wetted
just enough to make
it easy to syringe
down their throats.
If your puppy is
whining, give
charcoal capsules or
bentonite clay every
2 hours
for a total of 8
hours or until
improvement is seen
(whichever occurs
first). Whining is a sign of
campylobacter
poisoning, NOT parvo. Keep up the
hourly tea dosing
(or Parvaid when it
arrives) to keep
campy puppies
hydrated, along with
dosing 4x/day with
the Vibactra Plus.
Recommendations for
puppies who were
vaccinated or
chemically
wormed within 14 days
of coming down with
parvo:
ADD: 1000 mg.
vitamin C to the
tea recipe for
ALL puppies.
ADD: 1/2
teaspoon Oregano
to the tea
recipe for ALL
puppies - use
until you
have an
antibiotic, then
discontinue use)
GIVE: 1 Vitamin
B Complex tablet
via enema to
ALL puppies over
10 lbs.
1/2
Vitamin B
Complex tablet
via enema daily to
puppies under 10
lbs.
Add the Vitamin
C, AFTER the tea
has steeped for
20 minutes, as
high heat
destroys vitamin
C.
Dose the tea
recipe hourly to
the sick puppy,
until the
Parvaid arrives,
and/or
until she starts
eating on her
own. Use just
the
peppermint/spearmint,
chamomile,
vitamin C and
pedialyte tea
(omitting the
garlic and
echinacea)
with the Parvaid
when it arrives,
INSTEAD of just
the plain
pedialyte.
Dose the puppies
without parvo
symptoms, 4x/day
with the tea
recipe. When
the Parvaid
arrives, dose
them with just
the oral drops
of Parvaid,
combined with
the tea recipe
fluid 4x/day for
5 days as a
preventative.
Give the
Vibactra Plus
drops ONLY
2x/day as a
preventative.
Vibactra Plus is
a strong natural
antibiotic, give
only the # of
drops
recommended
based on the
puppy's weight.
IF the
puppy has
excessive worm
loads add the
following to the
original tea
recipe:
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. mustard
1 tbsp. raw
minced garlic
(use in place of
the 2 tsps. raw
garlic in the
tea recipe)
Instances where
a parvo puppy is
NOT having
constant bowel
movements, at
least 4 or 5 per
day, 9 times out
of 10 they have
excessive worm
loads. Keep in
mind, just
because you
don't physically
see any worms,
they can still
be
infested.
Hookworms and
whipworms are
microscopic so
you won't see
them,
but they can
kill puppies and
prevent their
recovery from
parvo. Puppies
are born with
roundworms AND
hookworms, even
if their mother
had NO worms,
ova hatch at
birth in
puppies.
Enema doses can
be useful to
help elicit a
bowel movement
in puppies that
aren't having
bowel movements
regularly. Use
the tea with the
cloves and
mustard added
(or use food
grade
diatomaceous
earth) instead
of plain
pedialyte, even
after the
Parvaid has
arrived to give
enemas or oral
doses with for
puppies who
aren't having
bowel movements
or those you
know are
infested with
worms.
White specks in
the
stool/diarrhea
is indicative of
a parasite
infestation. If
you see
white specks,
definitely add
the cloves and
mustard to the
tea recipe,
though note even
if you don't see
white specks it
doesn't mean the
puppy does
not have worms.
Some puppies
continue to
vomit when they
have excessive
worm loads and
can actually
vomit a bunch of
worms!
Cases where
puppies were
chemically
wormed 2 to 4
weeks prior to
coming
down with
parvo and
especially in
instances where
they weren't
wormed the
second time,
often have worm
infestations as
the hatching
worm eggs
hatched since
the first
worming.
If you can
obtain food
grade
diatomaceous
earth -
http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/defaq.html
from a local
feed store, you
can
use it instead
of the added
herbs (garlic
and mustard).
It is much
easier to get
down puppies
throats as it
doesn't taste
nasty like the
parasite tea
does. It is
highly effective
and what we
personally use
to deworm
infested parvo
puppies people
bring us. Dose
3x/day with the
"food grade" DE
as recommended
on
my website for
those dealing
with
infestations.
DE is safe to
use via enema as
well for puppies
who are not
having bowel
movements. Just
mix with their
hourly pedialyte
and Parvaid dose
and give via
enema.
Please do NOT
use a chemical
wormer when
dealing with a
sick parvo
puppy.
The chemical
wormer given
when they have
inflamed
intestinal
tracts from
parvo more often
than not kills
the puppy.
IF you
just chemically
wormed your
puppy within 7
days of it
getting sick:
Use bentonite
clay or charcoal
to sweep the
poison out of
the system.
These remedies
are also
excellent for
salmonella
poisoning,
aflatoxin
poisoning,
campylobacter,
etc. You can
find these
things at a
health food
store. I prefer
liquid bentonite
clay, but
charcoal will
work just as
well. Dose is
adjusted, based
on the weight of
the puppy.
My recommended
dose for puppies
who were
just wormed:
Puppy Weight
Liquid
Bentonite
Clay
Charcoal
Capsules w/water
0-10#'s 1/2
tsp. 1/2
capsule
10-20#'s 1
tsp.
1
capsule
20-30#'s 1-1/2
tsps. 1-1/2
capsules
30-40#'s
2 tsps. 2
capsules
40-50#'s 2-1/2
tsps. 2-1/2
capsules
50-80#'s 1
tbsp. 3
capsules
Dose either the
Bentonite Clay
or the Charcoal
Capsules (empty
capsule and mix
with water and
syringe down the
throat) every 2
hours for a
total of 8
hours.
When dosing
Bentonite or
Charcoal dose
this on the
opposite half
hour away
from the hourly
tea and Parvaid
dose, as
these natural
anti-poisoning
products
will sweep
poisons and
toxins out of
the body, but
they will also
remove the good
things.
Bentonite clay
or charcoal
should be given via
enema every 8
hours as well.
You can also use
Amber Tech's
Vaccination &
Wormer Detox -
http://www.parvopuppy.com/detox.htm
4x/day. Use the
Bentonite clay
or charcoal,
even if you are
using Amber
Tech's
Vaccination &
Wormer Detox.
If you have
a fresh
lemon on
hand, you
can also
add to 20
drops of the
fresh
squeezed
lemon juice
to any enema
doses
given. This
helps detox
the liver
from the
chemicals.
TOXIC LIVER
Some cases
of parvo
puppies who
have been
overly
chemically
wormed
and/or
vaccinated,
or
poisoned the
liver is
nearly
destroyed.
Autopsies/Necropsies
of
chemically
treated
parvo
puppies have
shown some
where the
liver just
turns to
mush.
Puppies
under 3# are
particularly
susceptible
to liver
trouble from
vaccinations, chemical
wormers, or
poisons.
If you think
your puppy's
liver is
thrashed or
you are
seeing white
bowel
movements,
you can do
the
following to
help
cleanse and
detox the
liver and
start
rebuilding
it:
Milk
Thistle
-
NON-alcoholic
tincture (or
*evaporate
out the
alcohol if
you can
only get the
alcohol
variety). This
works great
in enemas,
along with
the fresh
lemon juice
above. If
your puppy
is keeping
down the
oral fluids,
give orally
as well,
every hour,
in addition
to the tea
or plain
pedialyte &
Parvaid
(*evaporate
out the
alcohol in
the Parvaid
too). *See
instructions
for
evaporating
out the
alcohol

simply
add an
equal
number
of drops
of hot
pedialyte
or water
to the
appropriate
number
of drops
(based
on
puppy's
weight) of
alcohol
tinctures.
Wait 30

and the
heat
will
have
evaporated

Then
administer.
Internal
Gold
Detox
Kit
-
http://www.parvopuppy.com/detox.html
Often
when the
liver is
toxic,
inflamed,
and
swollen,
the
kidneys
are
suffering
as
well.
Using
the Internal
Gold
Detox
Kit will
help the
kidneys
and
liver
function
better
as it
cleanses
the
liver,
blood,
lymphathic
system,
and
kidneys.
This
product
is
excellent
for all
liver
ailments
and
especially
great
for
cancer.
WORST CASE
PUPPIES
Worst case
scenario
parvo "plus"
puppies (meaning
they are
dealing with
more than
just regular
parvo) we
have
encountered
- their
intestines
swell so
much,
they can
literally
close shut,
meaning no
oral fluid
can go down
orally
without
vomiting
instantly
after a
single drop
(or more) of
oral fluid
is given AND
they are NOT
having bowel
movements at
all. Cases
such as this
arise,
again, from
overwhelming
toxicity in
the body
often caused
by chemical
wormers,
vaccines,
etc.
Often, these
puppies have
normal
temperatures
(100.5 to
101.5),
their
gums are a
nice pink,
and their
skin goes
instantly
back into
place
meaning
they are
properly
hydrated. Puppies
that are
treated at
the vet
hospital on
IV's
die, but we
have found
the
following to
work well
with
noticeable
improvement
(having
bowel
movements
again and
keeping oral
fluids down)
within 24
hours of
dosing along
with hourly
dosing of
Parvaid
(evaporate
out
alcohol) (via
enema if
that's the
only way we
can keep it
in the
puppy) and
fluid
(rotating
pedialyte
every other
hour with
aloe vera
juice (make
sure the
aloe you
purchase
contains NO
alcohol -
just
straight
aloe juice):
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
- is an
excellent natural
anti-inflammatory
that
will help
reduce
swelling
quickly.
You can
purchase 1#
of "Pure"
100% MSM
powder or
crystals at
a health
food store
for about
$13.00.
Some info is
here:
http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/naturvet_msm.html
You can also
find it at a
health food
store,
Walmart,
pharmacies,
etc. When
dosing
puppies with
inflamed
intestinal
tracts, you
double the
initial dose
for the
first two
weeks
(though you
won't need
to give it
for 2
weeks).
Expect the
puppy to
appear more
relaxed and
comfortable
within an
hour of
dosing.
Vitamin C
-
Preferably a
buffered
form, such
as Ester C,
calcium
ascorbate,
etc.
You will
dose the MSM
and
Turmeric, if
you can
obtain both,
1/3rd the
daily dose,
3x/day to
equal the
daily
recommended
dose. You
can give an
initial dose
of one-half
the MSM
daily dose,
then split
the other
half of the
daily dose
into 1/4 for
the
remaining
two doses
for the
first day.

even

drop
in
many
cases,
it
is
necessary
to
give
hourly
enema
doses
AND
evaporate
out
any
alcohol
in
tinctures
they
are
given.
Pure
aloe
juice
http://www.aloe-vera.org/top_10_reasons_to_use_aloe_vera.htm can
either
be
alternated
every
hour
with
regular
pedialyte
doses
or
you
can
use
half
aloe
and
half
pedialyte
for
each
enema
dose,
mixed
with
the
above
ingredients.
Aloe
has
lots
of
excellent
properties,
anti-inflammatory,
soothing,
healing,
and
laxative
are
the
reasons
we
are
using
it
for
these
severely
inflamed
puppies.
Use the
liver
detox
remedies
(milk
thistle
& lemon
juice)
as well
in each
enema
given.
Mix
well.
Expect
the
turmeric
to stain
the
puppy's
fur and
or your
fingers
a nice
yellow/orange
color.
Give NZ
Colostrum
powder
dry,
orally,
just a
pinch to
1 tsp.
depending
on puppy
weight,
every
hour
after
giving
the
puppy's
enema
dose,
until
the
puppy is
able to
keep
down
oral
fluid.
Then
syringe NZ
colostrum
mixed
with pedialyte
or aloe,
starting
out with
3 cc's
and
working
up until
the
puppy
can keep
down
it's
normal
hourly
dose.
Continue
the
enemas
until
the
puppy is
eating
on it's
own.
Then
continue
the
Parvaid
(evaporate
the
alcohol)
and
pedialyte
hourly
oral
doses
for 6
hours
AFTER
the
puppy
has been
eating
and
drinking
on it's
own and
keeping
it down
to
prevent
a
relapse.
Then
give
just the
Parvaid
drops
4x/day
for 2
additional
days.
Continue
the NZ
Colostrum
a few
times/day.
Give the
Vibactra
Plus
only
2x/day
for 2
additional
days to
hasten
complete
recovery.
HOURLY
DOSING:
Dose the
hourly tea
recipe
and/or
Parvaid &
pedialyte is
EVERY hour
on the
hour, until
the puppy is
eating and
consuming
fluids on
it's own.
This means
at
3 am, 4 am,
5 am, etc.,
as even tho
they can be
"looking"
pretty good
at 3 am,
if you take
a nap until
6 am, they
can die of
dehydration
that
quickly.
Hopefully
you have
someone who
can help you
keep up with
the hourly
dosing, so
you can get
a nap if
needed.
Instances
that might
occur
where:
you dosed a
puppy at
10pm and at
10:15pm the
puppy had a
big diarrhea
or vomit, I
usually
clean up the
mess first,
and then mix
up another
dose to give
them as they
just lost a
big amount
of fluid, so
they can
dehydrate.
So although,
it was just
dosed at
10pm and a
puppy
vomited or
had diarrhea
at 10:15pm
and even tho
their next
dose isn't
due until
11pm, I will
give
them their
normal dose
at 10:20pm
(after I
clean up the
mess first)
- IF the
puppy had a
big vomit,
I'll give
them an
enema. If
they had a
big
diarrhea,
I'll give
them an oral
dose (unless
they haven't
been keeping
the oral
doses down
prior, then
I'll just
give an
enema). And
then give
their
next hourly
dose at
11:30pm.
The tea
helps even
if you
don't dose
right after
they have a
big bowel
movement
or vomit,
BUT it is
best to
replace the
fluids
quickly to
prevent them
from
dehydrating
for 30 to 40
minutes
until
their next
scheduled
dose is due
and keeping
them
properly
hydrated
this way can
hasten their
recovery.
Recommendations
for puppies
who have
been exposed
to the parvo
virus but
are not
exhibiting
any symptoms
and who have
NOT recently
been
vaccinated
or
chemically
wormed:
Dose puppies who
are not showing
signs of parvo
with the above
tea recipe 4x/
day for 5 days.
When the Parvaid
arrives, dose
with just the
oral drops of
Parvaid, based
on the puppy's
weight, 4x/day
for 5 days and
give the
Vibactra
Plus 2x/day for
5 days as a
preventative.
This has shown
to work
extremely well
at preventing
puppies from
coming down with
parvo if dosed
immediately
after
you know they
have been
exposed to the
parvo virus.

Unfortunately,
parvo is our

parvo puppy
cases
are
emergencies
and there
are days,

I am on the

parvo or
distemper
customers
nearly ALL
day and
night. I
can no
longer
give free
advice, as
this
consumes a
large

which
prevents me

MOST parvo
puppy's are
easy to heal
with just
the Parvaid

Plus. The
info I have
given here

Hugs, Howls, Health,
& Happiness,
Healthy animals rarely succumb to disease, illness,
or bad behaviors. When they do, they bounce back quicker
than unhealthy animals. They get plenty of exercise,
sunshine, love, tender loving care, natural rearing foods that are
biologically appropriate to the specific animal, clean
environments, mental exercise in the way of proper,
appropriate training, and avoidance of toxins. They have
jobs to keep them busy, whether watching the house while
we are gone or making sure the couch or cats don't get
eaten while we are away. They are part of our family. Often, they are better than a few humans in our
immediate family and deserve the BEST possible health
care we can give them.
