Puppies are SUPER prone to getting Parvo. They say not to let pups into public areas until they've had all their puppy shots.

Our Pit/Lab made it through, Just be sure to keep her fluids up. I don't know if they told you about pinching the skin on their back to test the elasticity of it. If the skin bounces right back, she's hydrated, and if not pump some fluids into her.

Are you doing an IV or using a syringe and squirting it down her throat?

she has none right now, plus they told me to hold off for 48 hours because shell end up throwing it up anyway, she gets alert after i poke her, she seems to be ALOT more alert


small update (kinda): its 10:30 ish now shes sill alive, but still very sick, i havent seen her throw up but its almost time for her fluids again here, i need to do it about 3x a day or every 4-5 hours, but i will do it tomarrow morning, then around lunch, then once before bedtime tomarrow, should be enough, then ill try to give her gatorade every now and then, and also try to feed her in about 48, still doesnt wanna eat but she should here in a few days

That's very common. Odds are your vet will tell you not to worry about it for now.

Mya had worms when she had parvo as well. Once she was better and before they sent her home they dewormed her.
