I had a freind whos entire litter contracted parvo, they had reached the stage of bloody stools. He said that he tried a internet cure that had something to do with adding a small amount of bleach to water and giving the pups the mixture orally and rectally he said the whole litter pooped out some nasty smell and then started eating and drinking normally. They all survived in the end with no known ill affects. He gave this litter away to freinds and family. Anyone have anything like this happen? or maybe have used this method?
WHEN I SEE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, I'D BE WILLING TO DIE PROTECTING IT.
I haven't heard of giving bleach internally, and I wouldn't recommend that. I think your friend was lucky.
the key to keeping parvo pups alive is keeping them hydrated and I have heard good things about Parvaid. I keep it on hand but haven't had to use it for parvo. http://www.ambertech.com/

I don't know about using it for parvo, but bleach in water in small amounts is safe to drink. It's a common method for purifying water for camping or backpacking:
"using an eye dropper, add 8 drops of liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of water, 16 drops if the water is cloudy, and let stand for 30 minutes."
I've drank it, not the best tasting. But it IS supposed to kill any bacteria in the water. So who knows? Would it also possibly kill bacteria it comes in contact with in the digestive track? I have no idea. Any one with more experience?

You are so right.
Chlorine bleach is extremely toxic. A few drops dissipated in water is MUCH different from active chlorine bleach, which is poison to the mouth, the sinus cavities, and everything else on the way down, and then to the digestive system when it gets there. That's because chlorine dissipates fast, which is why you get that waft in the air near a pool treated with chlorine and why water that's chlorine-treated will lose that waft as it sits out.
Applying it directly to internal organs, starting with the mouth, is a bad thing.
I understand that the O.P. did not refer to undiluted chlorine bleach, but I just spent 20 minutes looking for any kind of "safe" amount to mix in water and take internally, immediately, and as far as I can see, there is none.

My post is unclear. It's early here.
Allowing it to dissipate makes it safe, but then all you have is treated water. Giving it internally without letting it dissipate is not, in anything I read, recommended for any situation.

That, of course, is allowing the chlorine to dissipate before ingesting the water.
