My chorky has parvo. She's been in the hospital for three days now. I was told earlier that the vet wanted to put her on a feeding tube, that she's has stopped eating and drinking. They have had an IV in since I took her in. On day two they said she was not acting like a dog with parvo and she might be able to go home in a day or two. I called today and was told about the feeding tube.
My questions are:
Being a small dog (4 lbs) what are the chances of a good recovery? My vet has never treated such a small dog.
Next, what long term side effects may there be?
Last, is if any one has any other information that I may need to know. I have seen two of her litter mates die from it so I am a bit informed about the virus itself, just not about the virus in small breeds.
