I assume it is being treated?? It isn't Bella is it? I would think it would have to be the newer puppy!!

I have had 3 dogs survive parvo....so good luck!!!!

Parvo is easliy treated with agressive fluid therapy. As long as the vet can keep them hydrated the body will take care of the virus itself. Good Luck its rough but treatable.

Dr. Ellis in Abilene says if the dog hasn't been buried for more than 3 weeks, he can save him.

Vaccinated? And if so...how many times? By a veterinarian?

Good luck with it. Hopefully it'll be fine with proper treatment.
