Recovery Time for a Puppy with Parvo?

Thank you so much for replying. So today is day 5 he is drinking lots still wont come near food . Threw up once yesterday so in 24 hours one time only. Seems more active (not jumping around but just has more energy) still has bloody diarrhea but seems like its less and has stool in it now at first it was just blood .

Does it sound like hes doing better ? Sorry to keep asking I just feel like I dont want to get hopes up for nothing. We have one vet in my small town and they are only there on mondays and fridays . Do you know how long the diarrhea usually lasts ? Again thank you for responding

I visited my dog at the vets each day to see how he was doing. I think it took around 5 to 6 days before the blood stopped. I know he was there 10 days and would not allow me to take him home until he was no longer throwing up and had started to eat again. At first it was very depressing to see my dog just lay there and not even try to stand up or even move. He was very sick and I did get him to the vet on the second day. The first day I did not realize he was sick because he was still very active and he ate that night. The next morning he was not moving at all and hiding in my yard. I knew something was wrong and it was a Sunday. I had to call the vet at home to come to the office to take care of him. It sounds like the dog is on the way to recovery but it can change.

Just keep him hydrated like you are and don't worry so much about him eating right now. That will come in a few days. My vet did not force any food on my dog because he was too sick. When he did start to eat again it was pasta or rice at first and then some soft foods mixed in. This took like I said 10 days before I could bring him home and then at home he was still weak and it took around another week or so for him to get back to his old self. Do not feed them much at all at first just a 1/2 cup of food if he is a medium size dog and less if he is smaller. Just allow them to eat a very small amount at first and you can give him food 3 to 4 times a day depending on how he keeps it down.
