Answer 2

Find a new vet

Answer 3

if your vet is trying to treat her for parvo but says she doesn't have it then tell him N O!!!! He is trying to scam you!  Get another vet and dump that one and just for safety sake get the test taken again with the new vet.  That way you will have piece of mind.

Answer 4

Treatment for Parvo is totally supportive care, what you would give a pet to help him through an illness - nutrition, hydration, pain and nausea meds.  This treatment works for many illnesses, generic viruses, etc.  So the vet probably just thinks that, whatever your dog has, it just needs supportive care.

If you are uncomfortable with your vet, though, you should probably find another, since you need to have a good relationship with a vet in order to get the best care for your pet.
