Poor Noel! If she is in the hospital on IV fluids and supportive care, she will likely do well in my experience, even as she just had surgery. Some cases of Parvovirus are mild and require just a day or so on fluids to recover, and some dogs need to be hospitalized for 1-2 weeks. Hopefully she does great!
