There is no "cure" as such for parvovirus. It is up to the dog's immune system to fight off the virus and get rid of it from the body. The mainstay of treatment is supportive care, such as giving fluids to replace those lost through sickness or diarrhea, so the dog doesn't become dehydrated and go into organ failure. This is why hospital treatment is preferred where possible, since vets can give intravenous fluids which is much more effective at supporting the circulation than those given under the skin.
