My 45 pound, 18 month old female Pit Bull was vaccinated at 6 weeks and 9 weeks, but I did not go back for a third. She got parvo and we started seeing signs 5 days ago, this was Sunday a day outside of vet hours. We took her to the vet on Monday and she was tested positive for parvo.
We are giving her IV fluids, a shot for nausea and stomach issues, a pill for diarrhea every 12 hours as directed by the vet. However it is now day 4 of meds and she still is weak and doesn't want to eat. She is given small amounts of water every 30 minutes or so as to not dry out her mouth. I tried a whole bowl yesterday, excited she wanted to drink, but it backfired and she vomited. So now she only gets small amounts of water every hour. We just got some clear Pedialyte and will be giving that every 15 minutes for a few hours and then every hour. I have chicken broth, cottage cheese, and white rice ready when she is. It has been 5 days and she has not eaten. If you have any ideas please help! Thank you.

Will send up lots of prayers for you and your pup. Following the vet's to a T is the best advice I can give. If she gets worse, it may be best to have the vet see her again, if nothing more than for peace of mind.
As long as she is drinking little bits, that is good. Be patient and follow tne vets advice
Try not to beat yourself up over not getting that third shot as we all let things slip by sometimes that have bad consequences and your love is certainly showing through your care and concern for your baby.
