Canine parvovirus is a serious disease, but with continued care and support, there’s a good chance for a positive outcome. Typically, recovery can take up to several weeks. During this time, ensure your puppy stays hydrated and gradually reintroduce a nutritious diet. You should see steady improvement in her energy and appetite. It's crucial to maintain her isolation from other dogs until she's fully recovered to prevent spreading the virus.
