Puppy with parvo won't eat: Is this normal? How long till he eats?

Question

My puppy was diagnosed with parvo on Wednesday and is still at the vet with soft stool and won't eat. Is this normal and how long does it take for them to start eating again? The vet won't let him go until he does eat. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 15 days old | 6 lbs

This is normal. Parvo is a very serious life-threatening disease and puppies often stop eating and drinking. Once their tummy is not painful any more they will likely start eating. This could take a week. Your vet is absolutely right to keep him in hospital until he eats as he is not healthy until he can keep down food and water.
