You might want to seriously consider taking other precautions for Gizmo. Parvo is a virus and antibiotics won't get rid of or prevent viruses...antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. That is why you can't give any kind of medicines to get rid of Parvo once a dog contracts it. You can only treat the symptoms and hope that the immune system will fight off the virus on its own. That is why puppies are so much more susceptible than adults...puppies' immune systems just aren't as developed. Gizmo seriously may need a Parvo vaccine. Look at those websites people have posted for the steps to take to prevent Gizmo from getting it. I know one thing is to wash out food and water bowls with diluted Clorox bleach. It is so contagious and the the last thing you need right now is for Gizmo to get it!
