Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | 4 months and 13 days old | 7.05 lbs
Hi! My 4 month old puppy got parvo and is confined in an animal clinic now. She was confined 3 days ago and for the first day she was showing huge improvement on her health, however on the second day she seemed to be getting worse. My mom and I are wondering if we should still hope for her recovery soon and prolong her agony and distress or should we let her go now.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This would be a better question for your veterinarian as they know exactly what her current condition is. However, I can tell you that it is not uncommon for puppies to not feel well initially and then start getting better. I do think that it is possible that you will be able to get her through this but again I do not know her current medical condition and details. I would encourage you to check in with your veterinarian to check what would be best at this point. Best of luck!
