I'm sorry Gizmo has parvo! It is a good sign that he's eating, and hopefully he can start on puppy food again soon. Without seeing him in person, I can't say what his chances of survival are, but I can say things are looking good if he's eating and keeping it down. Be sure to keep him hydrated with plenty of water. Best of luck.
