My 8 week Dutch Shepherd is now on day 6 of Parvo. We had him at the vet for the first four and he remained stable. Now that he is home, he has been drinking water on his own and we have been forcing him to take his meds; metronidazole twice a day, cerenia once a day, a rebound formula and some probiotics we started on day five, as well syringe feeding him three times a day baby food. All of which he has been keeping down!
He seems very nauseous still though and in the morning drools a decent amount. I am assuming it's mainly from the medication. However, what else can we do? He seems strong and is walking around and even going up the stairs. I just want our baby to make it. He still has diarrhoea, but with no blood. How long before he eats and what else should I be doing?

Your fur baby is right on track with his healing! This illness is a slow process, to getting him back 100%. All the right things are happening with him, like staying hydrated, soft foods, movement, clear stool.
The meds you are giving him are very strong to combat the sickness and get him healthy again. I had 2 dogs with parvo and it is no fun at all. My first dog was not as bad off as my second dog. The second dog spent 10 days at the vet and all he seemed to do for most of the time was lay around sleeping. He would even pee and poop on himself from the meds he was given. After this passed he was able to get up and move around again but still seemed to have water coming out of his mouth.
