Is it necessary to seperate all pups in litter if they all show signs of being infected with Parvo?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If all the puppies have parvo then there is no reason to separate them except for ease of treating them and know what each puppy is doing. If the puppies are difficult to tell apart label them with colored collars. Separating them will make it easier to tell who is eating, vomiting and having diarrhea. I hope this helps and good luck!
