My Ruford started vomiting and had diarrhea on April 20th. I took him to our animal hospital about 3 am and he was positive for parvo. They kept him there on an IV and other meds. He was released on April 22nd and we brought him home. He is still on metronidazole 250 mg 2× a day and famotidine 20mg one a day as well as cerenia 60mg one time a day. I have him eating chicken and rice with cottage cheese and drinking chicken broth and ice chips. He had a bowel movment today for the first time; it was not solid, but not really diarrhea either it had some of what looked like old blood in it. But ever since he had his bowel movment he has been acting really tired and not really eating as much. His vet said as long as he still eats and has no diarrhea or vomiting he should be fine. This is day 4. Does anyone know how long his recovery time should be and has this happend to anyone else with their pet?

I hope your Ruford is recovering and will live to be a ripe old age. You were asking about the recovery time but it is disappointing that your vet did not give you more information on what to do for your puppy over the nest 2-3 weeks after leaving their office. Please call the vet's office and ask for this information.
They should also give you information on how to clean your house because, although your puppy will be immune to parvo, you still need to clean your house to remove this disease.

It could take a few weeks for him to get back to his old self.
I would call the vet and ask. not having a bowel movement for over 48 hours might mean the dosage is wrong. good luck!
My puppy is just getting over parvo. It's been a week. He didn't have a bowel movement for 5 days. He is finished with his meds eating fine again.
