My puppy has parvo. I took her to the vet on Saturday and they gave her meds, antibiotics and diarrhea medicine. When we got up on Sunday morning she was better. She was eating on her own and drinking. She would go outside and try to play with the other dogs and then this morning about 3:30 she got worse she just keeps getting weaker and weaker. I'm giving her Pedialyte and chicken broth about every 20 minutes. She's trying to drink on her own, but she acts like she doesn't know how. She's not had blood in her stool. How long should it take for her to get over this?

Since she has taken a turn for the worse, it is time to call the vet.
The puppy sounded like it was on the road to recovery. With parvo it is hard to say one way or the other. If the dog is weak now and no longer trying to eat or drink it is time to go back to the vet before the dog ges blood in their stools.
It is very important that you tell your Vet about changes in your puppies condition. It may be necessary to make changes to her treatment. Things can change quickly with parvo and you need to stay ahead of it. Parvo takes a week to a month to run its course. It is not unusual for pups with parvo to get worse before they get better. They get dehydrated very quickly and the Vet can help with that. Be sure to stay ahead of it. Call your Vet right away.
