Not long. At my shelter, we got 5 pups in from an abandoned house and two have parvo. One died this morning. I'm sorry but in my opinion, you should not own a dog if you do not have the money to care for her. In the end, she loses.

Are you sure your dog has parvo? Most puppies that have had parvo for a week would be extremely weak if not dead. If your puppy has lasted this long with parvo and no veterinary intervention it is truely a miraculous animal. Parvo puppies have perfuse vomiting and diarrhea and are off food and water, they dehydrate rapidly and their little bodies can't cope very well.
If it is only passing bloody stool it may have worms (hookworm, coccidia) which is a very easy fix and will be very cheap as well, vets sell good deworming products over the counter. You need to make sure however that the puppy doesn't become anemic from the large burden and blood loss.
Most vets don't work on a credit basis, so borrow the money from your family or friend and get the puppy checked out, it may be a lot cheaper fix than you think. Your vet may even be able to give you a diagnosis by dropping off a fecal sample if you can't afford the consult fee. At least that way you know what you are dealing with.
Good luck.

It's extremely important to get your puppy to the vet ASAP. Sometimes your vet will let you pay a little at a time until your bill is paid off.
A friend of mine had a Rottie and it got parvo. Her Rottie made it through the Parvo but it was touch and go for a while. It's really hard to say how long your dear puppy could have, but I know it's possible for it to survive with the proper care.

Take her to the vet NOW. You can save her. if you'll have money in a couple of weeks, tell the vet that you can pay in a couple of weeks, or borrow the money from someone and pay it back in a couple of weeks. If you can't take her to the vet NOW, give her to someone who can. You can afford the internet connection you used to post this question. What's more important? The internet, or your little baby puppy? You shouldn't have a pet if you can't afford to care for it. That is very unfair to the animal. Once you choose to bring an animal into your life, you owe it to the animal to provide for it.

If you can't afford to save her life, then do the right thing and put her to sleep as early as you can so that at least you can save her from suffering. I had 2 puppies that had parvo at the same time and it broke my heart, so I completely understand what you're talking about.

Take her to the vet NOW or she'll likely be dead within a day or two. I'm sure the vet would be more than willing to work out some sort of payment plan.

well first of all the treatment for parvo is not that expensive. second most vet's for the people who cant afford it let you make small paymens. ask several local vet and ask if they do payments and treat you puppy.
