2 months poodle puppy with parvo~ I don't know what to expect?
My little poodle Dodo is my first dog. It's the second day since he's be hospitalized for parvo.
I bought from a person on craigslist 4 days ago. She has 3 poodles, and I picked the strongest big brother. I regret that I didn't ask detailed info on his health history since he's so active and happy, the only thing I know about him is that he just got his first shot. I don't even know whether he's really 2 months old. I was planning to take him to the vet on Mon for a whole check and vac.
Dodo is doing very well the first two days. Playing around the yard, following me everywhere in the house, barking at my cat (he's a fearless little guy), eatting dry food but not a lot. He is a little guy want to be companied very much. When I was out of his sight, he'll groan in a very cute way. He's so special to me.
The third day 11am, he started vomitting. First are some mixed dry dog food, 2-3 times later, are very watery vomitting stuff. Then sleeping on my bed and don't want to move.
I call right away and make the first appointment at the vet. The diagnose is the parvo. It's been two days, no obvious progress. Almost in the same condition as the first day I sent the puppy in there: vomitting, no eating and drinking, but no diarrhea. They found parasite this afternoon in the puppy so they give extra treatment for parasite along with IV. One thing I don't understand: why he recover so slow even though he doesn't has any diarrhea?
I weep everytime when I see Dodo's watery round eyes in my mind. He's a little puppy needs caress and love so much but now he's in the isolated treatment room by himself in the dark. I feel so sad that he has to go through these.
I don't know what to expect. I've read some very positive stories in here, and even some 8-9 weeks puppies made it through parvo. I really want to go hand in hand with my puppy till the day he gets better.
Tomorrow will be the thrid day. I don't want to think what if no progress on the forth or fifth day. The treatment fee is still raising, and he's still suffering, and I'm still hoping he will get better tomorrow.
Thank you guys, I like your suggestion about the toy. But the doctor says that I'd better not visiting the dog since it's virus and I may still have that. So does the same with his fav toy--a chewing bone I want to bring Dodo home to cook him some chicken soup but it's not suggested since the virus at home.
The vet is going to do plasma. it's like a blood transfer procedure. The little guy is so depressed today according to my vet. I'll be together with him to support the treatment!! I'm still keeping a very positive attitude~ He's the best and the very first dog I've ever had.

Yea, thats the spirit, be confident and your dog will be confident too.
I wish you the best of luck and hope your dog gets better soon.
Has your vet told you how to treat your home and yard yet? It's a combination of bleach and water and you spray it on everything! The bleach content is low, I didn't have to worry about bleach stains.
If your pup was in the yard you need to spray your yard and maybe put out a sign for other dog owners, so they don't let their dogs go in your yard.
We were told Cats can not get Parvo, but can carry it to other animals, so we had to spray a cat that we were baby sitting (they had Rotties at home) and she never liked us since.
I went through the same thing my bulloxer puppy had parvo when I got her... was hospitalized for 5 days but she pulled through.... just stay positive and keep a peace of mind

He likes to keep me in sight. When I walk away to the kitchen or something, he'll be unhappy.
