She may of got Kennel Cough from her stay at the vet clinic, especially since she already had a compromised immune system. I would take her to the vet asap (or call them) and have them switch her antibiotics.

I would check with the vet, she may very well have aspiration pneumonia and may require an antibiotic for it. Due to all the vomiting with the parvo, they sometimes will inhale some of this into the lungs causing the infection in the lungs. It is also possible that she got some of the fluids into her lungs from trying to force feed her during treatment for the parvo. Hope she recovers for you. We just got a new pup 3 weeks ago and found out she had parvo 2 days after we got her. We were successful in treating her, but lost our little chihuahua, who had been vaccinated, to it in less than 24 hours after the first symptom occurred. Parvo is such a nasty virus and obviously the vaccinations are not always successful in protecting young dogs.

he must bee a tough little guy it has nothing 2 do with the parvo she might be congested or have the kennel cough try this
Wet a tea-towel with cold water (soak it well) put this around the throat of your animal, put another woolen scarf around this and leave this for 2 hours.
and if that don't work then how about this
take ur dog in the bathroom and shut the door behind u then turn on some hot water as hot as it will go 2 steam the roomthe increased the humidity and the vapor in the air might make it better 2 breathe and clear his passageways
if that don't work than get ur dog 2 the vet asap.................â¥good luckâ¥

It could be kennel cough and pnuemonia at the same time. If it spits up a yellowy white flim take her immediately to the vet. Take it to the vet ASAP

I'd speak to your veterinarian right away! That she survived Parvo shows she is a real survivor but she could have some complications that need medical attention.

parvo attacks the intestines and with the amount of antibiotics in the system there shouldn't be any type of cold. you need to get to the vet asap

Not sure if it is connected to having had parvo...but I'd take her to the vet. Her lungs are congested and she needs medical help so she can get well. :)
