My puppy, a 7 week old Leonberger, has had parvo and stayed at the ER for a week. How long is her recovery from this virus? She still has frequent mucous poops, but is having a good appetite and frequent urination as well. Is this normal? This would be her first week at home coming from the hospital. I am concerned of her frequent pooping and urination. Please advise. Thank you!

The recovery time can be a few weeks. As long as the dog has no blood in its stool and is not vomiting, things are going well.
Thanks Judy, none of those are existing, no vomiting, no blood in the stool. She hAs appetite. The only concern for me is her frequent pooing and presence of mucous in her stool. As you said i will wait for few weeks more, this would be her 3rd week after she left the hospital.
it sounds like your puppy is on the road to full recovery but what diet are you following? I believe the diet is most important right now and your vet should have given you a list of acceptable foods and also how long it would be necessary to provide this special diet.
Perhaps you should place a phone call to your vet and tell them your concerns as they provided care during the most dangerous period and I feel sure they will discuss any of your concerns about this puppy's care.
It is very good news to hear that your puppy is doing so well. Please give him lots of hugs and remind him how much you like having him around - we all love compliments!
