It sound like she going to pull out of it. You need to give her a Parvo Shot, and all those others dogs need. Ask the Vet when it be best to do this after she recover or when? Parvo can stay dormant in a yard for a long time. I not sure she could get it again, maybe she be immune now, but, talk with the Vet.
I searched around and they can get it again.

Way to go!! My dog had parvo at 10 weeks. The humane society took him back and quarantined him for 4 days and then he came home. He started with a 50/50 chance and now he is 7 years old!! By all means, it is possible to survive this!
I'm sure you have researched Parvo on the Internet and learned a lot about it. My dog recovered well. I took it easy with him for awhile and really kept the yard clean....boiling water in the grass after I picked up his mess.
He never had any problems related to the Parvo again. At one point, one vet suggested that he doesn't need the shot because he can't get it again. I still have him get all his shots.
Mainly puppies get it and get it from poor cleaning habits by the breeders.
I hope in a few weeks you and puppy will be out and about.

Ah... if your dog has full blown parvo it should be at the vet for fluids and supportive care.
Keep her away from any other dogs and clean her feces with a 10:1 bleach solution or use Trifectant or A-33 powder to clean everything.
I believe parvo is a virus so it can live in the dog and may show symtoms again when the immune system is compromised

how do you know it's the parvo virus, and not the corona virus? they are very similar. the parvo virus can remain in the soil for many years. you can bring it home with you on your clothing and shoes, etc. if you can, disinfect any areas your dog has been in, with a solution of 10:1 bleach and water. i'm glad to hear she is recovering, but you should still call your vet and describe the symptoms, and find out how soon she can be vaccinated. very best of luck.

Poor Rottie, maybe he'll do fine and is over the hump.
parvo shots are so much easier on the dogs body and
cheaper on your credit card. Wait till you get This Vet
bill. Parvo germs are air-born, and in a sick dogs poo.
Heart problems happen with parvo survivors. sorry but true.
Poor Rottie...

I had a dog that I once nursed back from Parvo and it sounds like you are doing a great job! Make sure that you get her vaccinated so that she can not get parvo again. Great Job and thanks for taking care of her!

Parvo is serious. It affects the dogs heart. That dog will never be ok again. You innoculate against it here.
