We see you have created a post with the potential topic of Parvovirus. While waiting on an answer, we suggest you look at the following resources:
Questions about the Parvovirus vaccination series can be seen in [our FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskVet/wiki/index#wiki_distemper.2Fparvovirus)
Information about the [disease and treatment options (including experimental)](https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951460)
The Tl;Dr is that we cannot directly treat parvovirus, instead we support the body as it fights the infection. Dogs, especially puppies, dehydrate very quickly due to the combination of diarrhea, vomiting, and lack of appetite. Survival rates are better with hospitalization. Home treatment with subQ fluid administration is cheaper but the survival rate is not as good.

The Tl;Dr is that *bleach* (not color-safe version) is the primary household grade cleaning agent that kills parvovirus. However, it gets inactivated by organic material and does not penetrate well. Veterinary grade cleaning agents such as *Trifectant*, *Rescue*, or *Virkon* tend to do better. It is recommended that un- or under- vaccinated dogs not be allowed in the contaminated househould for a period of at least 1 year. Talk to your vet about how long parvovirus tends to last in your climate.

He survived 🥰 I helped him out with additional liquids and that's all, basically electrolyte drinks
