about four years ago i picked up a stray pup, he was emaciated as heck. Took him home, fed him and bam he began exhibiting signs of parvo, i.e. projectile diahrrea.
Took him to vet and loaded him with vitamins etc, then my wife and i took him home and bottle fed him pedialite every two hours for two weeks. (It was just way too expensive to do a course at the vet especially when he only had a 10% chance of survival) what we did do cost us around $600.00.
upshot, he's now 90 pounds, smart as a tack and has absolutely no negative effects.
so it does end well sometimes. best of luck.
