My dog has parvo and under home treatment recommended by Vet. Now he's been drinking fluids on his own but his stool is still watery and reddish pink color. Is he already recovering?

That is great Tumi is drinking water on his own. If he isn't vomiting, it sounds like he is on the road to recovery. The stools will take time to get better as parvo ruins the lining of the intestinal tract. The important things are to make sure he isn't vomiting and is eating and drinking. Good luck and kisses to Tumi!
