    Watch him closely. If he continues to get better, there's a good chance he'll make it. His age is also on his side, because he has a little bit more reserve to fight the disease than a puppy or older dog. If he does pull through, please have him vaccinated against parvo, it is preventable.

      If he is eating, that is a good sign. However, parvo inhibits the digestive system from absorbing food and water, so if the dog continues to lose weight, or show signs of dehydration or starvation, then personally I would put them down. But it sounds to me like your probably passing the worst now.

      Survival rates are about 50/50 for dogs that acquire parvo.

      If they make it thru the first 3 to 4 days of being symptomatic, they will usually recover fast and be on their feet in around a week.

      Good luck and best wishes.

      If you have time, try to order Parvoguard...it helps, but you usually don't have time to give before its too late for treatment.
