Amber, I am so sorry about Abbi and what you are going through with the pups. When my husband and I were breeding, we always kept a product called Dyne on hand. It was invaluable in supplementing sick pups who would not eat and when you mix it with water it can help prevent dehydration. It is manufactured by a company called Trophy Animal. We always purchsed it from http://www.revivalanimal.com but I understand that you need something quickly. Maybe a local pet store there carries it. If you can get ahold of some, it is great stuff. My thoughts are with you and your babies.

Do you know why they are on amoxocillian? If they are thriving and doing great? They are not on Flagyl (metronidazole)

they arent thriving, or doing great. That it is what the vet says. They are on amoxocillian because when abbi got bit, and i took her to the vet to get a lip staple, they gave me a whole big bottle of it, and dosage instructions, and i never used it on her.
the chi is on metronidazole, should i be giving this to the pups too? they WILL NOT take pills, i mean, no matter how far i shove it down, or how long i hold the muzzle shut, they spit that sucker out. The amox in liquid, and they love taking it. From what i gather, amox is gentler than alot of other antibiotics, so it is better for puppies, especially these guys.

Ooooh, wait a second.
You aren't doing the meds on your own, right? You need a call to your regular vet. (Someone is covering, even on holidays.)
I am not saying to stop now that you have started, but you do need dosage info, and also the regimen. You can't use antibiotics for less than the correct protocol (dosage AND length of time giving it).
Has any food gotten into them yet?

i did talk to my vet, and i have the correct dosage and everything.I called them earlier today, told them what was going on, and what i had(the sub-q, and the other meds)and we talked for a while. She told me what i had was what they would be giving, and to use it, and she told me how much.
I a lucky enough to have a great vet who isn't all about money. She knows me, and the amount of research i put into things, and tells me when i can treat things at home.
Still no food, but they all got up and drank lots of water, and walked around some. The gums are pink, and their skin mostly springs back.
Now, i just need some food...

This all sounds VERY positive to me. Hydration is paramount. Lethargy and that sunken look -- those scare me.
So yes, now some food.

Right now I think fluids are the most important thing. As far as anything else I think it is most important to try and figure out what you think the problem is before trying to treat it. I know most vets treat parvo with introvenus amoxicillian and flagyl. I really dont think oral antibiotics really will do anything(not knowing what the problem is and giving a weak antibiotic may do more harm then good). I think the Flagyl would probably be more of a help then the oral amoxillian. But I am not a vet, and dont really feel comfortable recomending you change anything that your doing, because I dont want to be responsible for giving wrong info.
Dehydration and Hypoglycimia are probably the most immediate danger, and really the only thing you can do anything about.

Lots of posts while I posting, do what the vet says then, and like Connie says, food and fluids.
