I am so sorry to hear about your baby..Do you have any idea where and when it was exposed to the parvo-virus? I tell peole to never take a puppy or dog to places such as PetSmart for lessons or just shopping til after they have had ALL of their shots. There are vet hospitals attached to the PetSmarts here and that automatically means SICK animals are there. Take extra blankets and put one in the cart when you go in. DO NOT LET ANYONE PET YOUR BABY! When you get back to your car, use handiwipes to wash your hands and throw the used blanket in the trunk and wrap your baby in a clean one. Wash all linens in OdoBan.
This sounds like overkill but there are so many diseases that we are learning about and my motto is "Better safe tha sorry!"
The products I have used for years kills 99+% of all germs. It was originally developed for disenfecting hospitals. It can be used on almost any surface, if not caustic, will not ruin surfaces PLUS it has a pleasant fragrance. Do a Google on OdoBan and the other products the company makes. I use OdoBan because it is not toxic to me babies..of course, you would not spray any solution directly on an animal. I used to have cases shipped to me from the manufacturer but it is not available at Sam's club. Read all instructions AND use it exactly as recommended. I actually, use more of the product in the solution that I use in a spray bottle. I clean floors with it 2 times a day.
BTW, the action of disinfecting is done by enzymatic action. The drain cleaner they make is also the best product I have ever used.
Let us know what the vet uses to treat your sweetheart. Thank goodness you caught it so soon.
