His poop was solid this morning and afternoon, however this evening it has gotten a little runny again.... How long before that will taper off? I am making sure he has clean and dry bedding, keeping his dishes and crate clean, is there anything else specific I need to do so that he doesn't get it again? |
So happy to hear he is improving. Thank you for the updates. As I said before, we all do care and worry about each others fur kids.
Parvo is passed by contact with fecal matter, so you want to clean any areas he pottied. Often the mommy dog has it, but has no symptoms, and babies get it when nursing (or so I've heard). It should resolve with a full course of the meds, and I can't remember exactly, but seems like it was a week of liquid Albon for my Meika. I also had to treat my other pup Tiki who was 3 months older, just as a precaution.
Glad he's eating better. Always remember that your prompt action in getting him into the vet could have made the difference in saving his life. Since you say you have little experience with dogs this young and this small, this is crucial. The lesson here is always be safe rather than sorry.
Enjoy your little one.
