My 4-month-old puppy has parvo. What are her chances of survival?

Question

I brought my puppy home from an animal shelter, they did not tell us she was having diarrhea. Later that night she had terrible diarrhea and the next day she started throwing up. I took her to the vet they said she tested strong positive for parvo. They sent us home with an IV and antibiotics, do you think she has a good Chance to live? She's only four months old.

Poor Music. It is so difficult to tell whether or not she will make it this early. If she isn’t improving, you may consider taking her back to the vet for bloodwork and see if there is a 24 hour facility in your area that can watch her and give her the fluids and IV antibiotics if needed. Make sure she is either eating or getting some nutrical to keep her blood sugar up. When they go without food and are sick, their glucose can get really low which can cause a lot of issues. I hope this helps and she pulls through. Keep giving her the fluids and antibiotics and watch her closely.
