My new puppy has diarrhea after parvo exposure. Should I worry?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 5 lbs

We adopted a puppy 2 days ago. We received a call from the agency telling us one of the puppies in the liter was diagnosed with Parvo. Our puppy had solid poop earlier and now has poop that isn't solid. Should I be worried for Parvo?

She needs to be monitored. If this sign becomes persistent in the next 12-24hours a check up would be ideally required. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
