Prognosis for Puppy with Parvo?

Prognosis for Puppy with Parvo - white puppy My pup is going on his 4th day with parvo. The vet has been giving him under the skin fluids every 12 hours, plus antibiotics, anti-nausea meds, and probiotics. We are feeding him chicken broth, and Pedialyte with a syringe. He now drinks water on his own, but still has bloody diarrhea. Any chances he'll pull through?

You are doing everything you can to save your dog. The fact he is drinking is a good sign. I wish you luck.

For right now you and the vet are doing all they can do to help the dog. This takes time and can go on like this for a few more days, or up to a week longer. Just keep doing what you're doing. It is a good sign the dog is starting to drink water now.

This is sad and I hope your puppy is doing okay and will be completely well soon.

Sounds like you and your vet are doing everything possible to bring him through this.

The biggest problem during this time seems to be the schedule of giving water/liquids.
I hope your vet gave you clear instructions on how often offer fluids to your dog and that you are able to follow through with this schedule as this seems to be one of the keys to saving puppies.
Here is one link that has some suggestions for care at home.
