Signs of recovery would be like you said - no nausea, keeping down food, normal eating/drinking, stable electrolyte levels and white blood cell count.

Parvo CAN live for up to 6 months inside a home but if you've bleached as much as you can, it's not likely that he will contract the virus again. From what I understand, once they have the infection, it is likely that they have a lifelong immunity. I would still get the boosters but I wouldn't worry too much!

Just make sure to pick up all poop right away - the virus is shed quite heavily in the stool, and I would consider him contagious for about a month.

So glad to hear she's doing better! Parvo is so rough.. I knew I almost died when Franklin had it.
