Hi there and thanks for your question. I am sorry to hear Lilly has parvovirus infection. That good to hear she is swallowing, but if she really is unresponsive (meaning you cannot get her attention and she will not move from her position), then that is very concerning and she will need to see an emergency veterinarian right away. Since I do not know what has been done as far as veterinary treatment with Lilly thus far, you could request a consult with me and we can talk about Lilly's current treatments and what else may be done. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I look forward to communicating with you further.
