That is, feed several times a day, and the amount should be less each time.

After the dog is diagnosed with parvo, the kennel and toys and other items are thoroughly disinfected, and if the vomiting is severe, it must be fasted from water and food, so as not to cause irreversible damage to the dog due to excessive vomiting. If you use the drug, you can inject serum for 3-5 days and take a course of Xiwenling oral liquid. Antiemetics can be treated with drugs such as Aimol and metoclopramide.
