Beautiful animals. Sorry to hear about the Parvo. I hope you can cure him.

He has two things to his advantage, his age and size.

I have Boykins and occasionally breed them. Due to their small build, Parvo is one of the first shots I make sure a litter gets.

Good luck and I hope Charley makes it through this ok.

Charlie has my best wishes.

Charley's very handsome. If you're treating him at home- pedialite! I cannot emphasize that enough. Dehydration is the main killer with parvo. The virus isn't deadly, it's the secondary infections and the dehydration. Antibiotics, stomache meds (for nausea and diarrhea), and lots of pedialite. And pay attention to the recovery- Charley may perk up for a day or two, and then relapse. If you can keep him hydrated, you can keep him alive!!!!! Also, make sure you use a 3% bleach solution on your shoes, and even spray your hands before washing them with soap. Normal household soaps will NOT kill parvo- not even Lysol.......

wishing you and your family health brother...

I just wanted to thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers! I am going to the vet to check on him in a few minutes , too nerveous to call.

sorry to hear, good luck Harley

fingers crossed for a happy outcome Harley.... it's a terribly worrying time when such a loved family member is crook....

Thinking of Charley again, today. I hope he's doing better.

nice dog, its always sad when our pets get sick, I hope and pray that he will be  well soon

That handsome Charley has been in my thoughts, Harley... I really hope there's good news. I'm so afraid to ask...

You've got all of our love no matter which way it goes, Charley... but think of Harley and the kids and hang on, bud! 

Good luck.
