I would call  your vet just to make sure. If they said pepto is okay, I would give her that, wait about  30 minutes than give her the mediction (medication). But you should definatlly call the vet to let them know. Parvo is very dehydrating and I am surprised they don't have her on IV fluids?

Thanks for your advice wound up that when I posted was the worst night the next morning she started drinking water on her own and today she started eating some baby food on her own so I think we are coming into the clear I will keep up with the meds untill they are gone as the doctor advised

Just wanted to say thanks for youe posts

Be sure you vaccinate your dog in the future.  This is a 100% preventable disease.   No dog should have to suffer through it.  Many die from this and other preventable diseases.

From what the vet said she had parvo when I took her for her first shots and the place gave her the shot and made it worse will this affect her ability to get her second set of shots they are due in 1 1/2 weeks

I am not sure, I would ask the vet about that. I am sure they will be honest with you. Good luck, sorry it took so long for a post back!
