WOW! What a relief ! Just can't beat this Yorkie bunch for support
So glad she is doing better.

OH thank goodness Mia is doing better I'm so glad for you!

The vet is right about taking it easy on her tummy with food. You'll be able to feed her more as the days go by, but after her digestive system getting such a shock, it needs time to get going properly again. They all seem to love the plain chicken baby food, or some plain white rice with minced boiled chicken in it. Ask your vet, though, before you give her anything different.

Continued prayers for Mia's full recovery

So Mía is Stable...Today she hasnt had vomit or diarrea, however she just sleeps, and she seems that she no lo her wants to eat chicken.....Im gong to try baby food, but is it normal or her to sleep so much after having Parvo?.....Im worried she wont want to eat regular food in the future...Any advice?.....is she OK?

Chicken baby food is bland and very good for recouperating pups. As long as she's eating and drinking and eliminating, sleep is okay... she's still recovering/healing. She'll transition back to regular food in time. Maybe ask your vet about some Hill's Prescription A/D food. Make sure she's warm enough.

Nothing against your vet... but any chance of getting a second opinion? Where I worked, when pups were discharged from the hospital, they were eating, drinking and bouncing off the walls. There was never any doubt that they were better... just worried for your baby....

So she´s been home since last weekend...however I´m calling the vet almost every day to report how shés doing, and she´s sent me some medicine for her diarrea....(no more vomit...just a little sore still from her stomach). Mia is in a better mood now...still skinny, but on a bunch of nutritional suplements....she´s really hungry and eating now 3 times a day....I´m preetty sure she´s made it, however I´m being extremelly careful not to take her outside or come into contact with any other dogs for now......So I think she´ll be ok... The vet let her come home only at nights at first, because she was so depressed over there and we wanted to get her in a better mood. thank you for worring about my baby she ´s going to be ok I´m so thankful and happy...I just want to be with her all the time.
