Usually dogs with parvovirus do not recover that quickly and they are much sicker. I doubt she had parvovirus. If she’s been with your other dogs previously they were probably already exposed to whatever she had. I would keep her separate and resting until she’s back to normal and no further diarrhea, then they should be fine together. I do recommend all dogs get a series of vaccinations to prevent parvovirus when they’re puppies, then annually.
