You can start offering small amounts of eggs cooked without oil, boiled chicken breast, or cooked white rice. It can take several days for the inflammation in the GI tract to decrease to the point where they want to eat food again. Maintaining hydration is the key to fighting parvo. Normal temperature for dogs is 100-102.5, so no fever! You may talk to the vet about using an anti-nausea medication called Cerenia, since Sheba may still be nauseous even if he isn't vomiting.
