socks 32,253 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Did anybody see Yukon men last week where the fella found two of his pups dead and he reckoned it was parvo ... As he didn't have any jabs and the nearest vets are hundreds of miles away ... He watered down chlorine and boiled the pups food up in it ... He reckoned that the chlorine killed the parvo infection in the pups guts ......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redcharge 378 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Never seen it what was the outcome did they survive? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Apparently the rest of the dogs survived ......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 just because bleach will kill the virus on a work surface doesn't mean it will do the same in a pups stomach the virus does not directly cause death; rather, it causes loss of the lining of the intestinal tract, and destroys some blood cell elements. The intestinal damage results in severe dehydration (water loss), electrolyte (sodium and potassium) imbalances, and infection in the bloodstream (septicemia). In this case, septicemia occurs when the bacteria that normally live in the intestinal tract are able to get into the blood stream; if septicemia develops, the dog is more likely to die.

Bosun11 537 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I work in swimming pools, the damage chlorine can do is amazing... The last thing i'd try in that situation would be cooking puppies grub with it..! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hot Meat 3,109 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Was it confirmed parvo? I use trigene to wash kennels and that kills it I'm sure, don't know bout boiling mutts stew in it tho lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beast 1,884 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 boiling chlorine based substances would pretty much evaporate off most of the active ("FREE") chlorine anyway, but even drinking it neat wouldnt affect a virus going round a dogs blood system. bizarre.

Hot Meat 3,109 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 A lot of old pigeon men put bleach In drinking water Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed the virus is in the dogs body, people do get odd ideas. Boiling the feed may well destroy bacteria and if it is a bout of gastroenteritis caused by infected food rather than parvo this may stop re infection which could well save the pups. An alternative is that those that were going to die died and the other were the survivors and the boiling was incidental, what ever the truth feeding puppies bleach, boiled or otherwise is not going to help! boiling chlorine based substances would pretty much evaporate off most of the active ("FREE") chlorine anyway, but even drinking it neat wouldnt affect a virus going round a dogs blood system. bizarre. There's many bizarre ideas going around, people believe all sorts of odd things, at times I wonder were the enlightenment went lol.

shealy1 71 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 The pups stomachs where defintely blow up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Once parvo takes hold its usually curtains even with the drugs we have here .Its a sad fact of no innoculations so let that be a warning. I saw no sign it was parvo in the program mind as dogs excrete blood and look a lot gaunter than his dead pups . Got to agree that disinfectant in food is no way to go .

northern lad 2,292 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Saw a few dogs go down with Parvo in the eighties,didnt see anything there that indicated it,wormy,yes...to be honest his "pack" looked like a shelter on a day out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 To be honest there isn't a single pack of dogs on the whole show that look in good nick ....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
