    Yes, I took him the vet a week ago and he is in medication right now. He is eating really good but he doesn't want to get up and cries too.

    If he's eating well, not vomiting, doesn't have diarrhea, then let him be. Parvo is a horrible disease. It's like the human flu. It leaves you drained, it takes everything out of you. Wanting to rest after battling parvo, is not a concern. He needs to get his strength back.

    Now, if this is something you're concerned about, then the only thing you can or should do, is go back to the vet. We can't diagnose online.

    Yeah that make sance. What do you think is the best to feed him right now? And I would like to take him but I can't right now. But thank you so much.

    Keep the food bland. His tummy is pretty upset right now.

    I'd feed rice and chicken (boneless, no skin, just cook the meat), and mix in a bit of his regular food. Did the vet recommend anything while he was recovering? Rice and chicken is the norm for dogs that are having tummy issues, but then again, changing foods suddenly can cause issues as well. It's really your call.

    You're welcome. I hope he makes a complete recovery. Parvo is a horrible disease, with a high fatality rate. It's good that he's on the mend, it's a great sign, especially if he's eating.

    I'd love to see pictures of him. :)
