Been skipping this shit since I was born. Unfortunately I can’t skip the interactions from so called humans that care so deeply about it.

At home treatment is basically keeping the dog hydrated and keeping blood sugar levels normal until the immune system is able to learn how to fight the virus. It's round the clock care and clean up as there's vomiting and bloody diarrhea involved. Vet care is hospitalization with an I/V, antibiotic injections and anti-vomiting injections with syringe feedings. There is a monoclonal antibody available which is a single injection that introduces antibodies that already know how to respond to the virus, so the patient's immune system can begin producing the same antibodies more quickly rather than having to wait it out until it naturally develops it.
