Paul A. Cardenio, DVM, MSc

Canine parvovirus and distemper are endemic, year-round viral infections in dogs in the Philippines. These are preventable diseases through vaccination and proper care/hygiene. However, some pet owners are not aware or neglecting the vaccination needs of their pets hence resulting to these infections. They usually post treatments to social media and ask “public opinion” in various online groups rather than bringing their pets to the clinic for proper treatment and diagnosis of a licensed veterinarian.

Here are the common home remedies that dog owners used to treat parvoviral enteritis and canine distemper:

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟏: Antibiotics (such as SMP500 and doxycycline) can treat parvoviral enteritis and canine distemper.
𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: Both parvoviral enteritis and canine distemper are viral infections. Antibiotics do not inhibit the reproduction of virus in the dog’s body. Therefore, it is not used specifically to treat these viral diseases. However, it may help to prevent secondary bacterial infections at proper dosage and appropriate use. Do not buy and give antibiotics to your dogs without prescription of a veterinarian. That is irresponsible action and an illegal practice [1,2].

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟐: Turmeric should be given in vomiting and diarrheic dogs and cats.
𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: Curcumin in turmeric has anti-inflammatory property but it has no established anti-emetic (anti-vomiting) and anti-diarrheal action [3]. Aside from gastric ulcerations, vomiting is induced by various stimuli from the emetic center of the brain. Hence, treatment/management of the underlying problem is key in managing the vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. There are other safer and more effective drugs for diarrhea and vomiting that can be prescribed by your trusted veterinarian.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟑: Eggyolk will alleviate the signs of viral diseases.
𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: Eggyolk contains IgY immunoglobulin and a source of protein. Only one study (14 years ago) reported the protective effects of CPV2-IgY (they infected a chick embryo and harvested the immunoglobulins) in dog experimentally infected with canine parvovirus [4]. However, its efficacy in clinically ill dog has not been proven. In addition, fresh eggyolk may contain Salmonella that could further worsen the diarrhea and vomiting.

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡 𝟒: Colloidal silver is the cure for all.
𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: Colloidal silver is not FDA approved. If the drug/medicine/supplement claims that it is a cure-all solution (bacterial, viral, fungal and immune system problem, etc), it should have been proven by science and must be in medical textbooks. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
There was one study reported the used of silver nanoparticles containing 6% metallic silver (1.8mg/ml or 1800PPM) as an effective treatment in dogs with non-neurological sign of distemper (meaning there is no tremors or seizure). Less than that concentration was found not to be effective. The same study said “...at higher concentrations, there is a risk of nanoparticles accumulation in different organs and tissues that could negatively influence the animal health.” [5]. However, it is worthy to mention that they only used 6% metallic silver but the products circulating online on various dog groups are claiming to contain 99% pure silver and usually at 0.2mg/ml or 20PPM, which is below the dose used in the said study. Again, there are safer options.

Supportive care and therapy are the only treatment options for these viral diseases. Though there are products such as hyperimmune serum, the standard medical care includes nutritional support, correcting electrolyte imbalance and dehydration, and symptomatic treatments (for pain, diarrhea and vomiting).

ATTENTION PUPPY OWNERS! We've been seeing an increase in Canine Parvo Viral Infection patients lately for those residing along South Caloocan and Manila area. If your puppies are already 6 weeks above please have them vaccinated for 5in1 or 8in1 as this disease is easily preventable. Please please please, prevention is way better and cheaper than cure.

If you're seeing signs of inappetence, vomiting and diarrhea have them checked as soon as those symptoms showed up. Canine parvo viral infection is a highly infectious disease that affects mostly puppies but all dogs are susceptible. It affects the dogs' gastrointestinal tracts and is spread by direct dog-to-dog contact and contact with contaminated f***s (stool), environments, or people. It is resistant to heat, cold, humidity, and drying, and can survive in the environment for long periods of time. Even trace amounts of f***s from an infected dog may harbor the virus and infect other dogs that come into the infected environment. The virus is readily transmitted from place to place on the hair or feet of dogs or via contaminated cages, shoes, or other objects.

Some of the signs of parvovirus include lethargy; loss of appetite; abdominal pain and bloating; fever or low body temperature (hypothermia); vomiting; and severe, often bloody diarrhea. Persistent vomiting and diarrhea can cause rapid dehydration, and damage to the intestines and immune system can cause septic shock. Most deaths from parvovirus occur within 48 to 72 hours following the onset of clinical signs. If your puppy or dog shows any of these signs, please bring your puppy to the nearest veterinary clinic for immediate diagnosis and treatment.

Parvo viral infection is not a cheap disease, it could drain your wallets but it is a preventable disease. Have your pups vaccinated and don't let your new pup go out of the house. If you have a new dog, learn to quarantine before mixing him/her up with your previous dogs to avoid spread if pup is already incubating. Proper disinfection and handling your new pup may save him/her. Don't let your pup be a victim of this deadly virus, have them vaccinated!

This post is intended to share info and not for people to post their self medication treatments. We’ve been seeing comments feeding their dogs yakult, smp500, turmeric, nano silver and such. Consult your vets please. Do not self medicate as this may further harm your pet. You might think that “your” treatment worked on your pet but it was just coincidence. Licensed and knowledgeable veterinarians do not recommend these kinds of “treatments” and we’re not in it for the money. We’re trying to inform you so that you may not impair your dog’s prognosis. Consult your vet! Its your duty as a pet owner to be informed with the right knowledge by a vet and not by just a random dude you met on facebook recommending this and that. Your veterinarian studied for 6 years to treat your dog, trust them please. We will be further banning comments with self medication recommendations especially those recommending “toxic” remedies.

Also please note that we don’t do online consultation. If you have questions regarding your pet please visit us as some sypmtoms may appear the same but believe us every disease is different with physical examination. Your rightful doctor needs to see your pet physically to give the right diagnosis and treatment.

Clinic hours: Mondays-Sundays 9:00am-8:00pm. Consultation cut-off at 7:00pm.

Clinic is located at 337 Rizal Ave. Ext. cor. 5th Ave. Brgy. 51 West Grace Park, Caloocan City. Landmark: LRT 5th Ave South 1 Entrance.
