Boomer is almost back to his old self, running around and playing and wanting attention.
Every time I leave the bedroom he's confined to he scratches frantically at the door because he doesn't know why he's not allowed to follow me. I think he is still contagious for another week or two so I'm just keeping him in one room to avoid making any other dogs sick. In the mean time I've been disinfecting my car, working on the many piles of laundry that need to be disinfected, and cleaning everything I can think of with bleach or parvosol. I had Boomer's sister tested for parvo this morning and she came out negative so I'm just going to continue to keep them separate and she should be fine. Boomer has been especially affectionate which I think is his way of showing his gratitude for my taking care of him. I bought all new toys and threw out the old ones, but I hesitate to give him any treats or toys until the vet tells me he's completely clear. He is going back in a couple of days for a check up. There has been no vomiting and only one more small bout of diarrhea which the vet said is fine as long as its not excessive. There was some blood in it too but she said that's just from his insides healing after the parvo wore away at his stomach lining and intestines. He is already begging for treats and wanting to go outside, but I'm going to wait until he is completely cured. I feel bad because he's bored, and I'm not sure if it's ok for his health for me to give him a chew toy, after all he is teething. I'm going to wait until the vet calls me back and I'll ask her. I can't believe how quickly he is recovering and I am so grateful to God that his sister hasn't caught it. Thanks again for all the well wishes and advice!
