I hate to hear that Fluffy is so sick. Yes, excessive fluids can cause a stuffy nose but this is usually a sign of too much fluids. In some instances (such as parvo), this may be an acceptable risk. It's also possible that his immune system is compromised and another virus (not another parvo virus) is taking effect. I recommend to have him seen again by a veterinarian who will listen to his lungs to make sure the fluid is not causing congestion there. The doctor may adjust the fluid volume if fluid over load looks to be the cause. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction. Please feel free to post any additional questions!
