My puppy was diagnosed with parvo last Monday. He was injected at the vet and treated here at home with prescribed medication. Currently, his stool is back to normal, his vomiting stopped, and he is eating and drinking again. I noticed he has some mucus in his nose with a little blood. Could this be a sign of sinus infection? He’s taking antibiotic for parvo, should I take him back to the vet?

This isn't typical to see after a parvoviral infection, so it is possible that he has developed an unrelated upper respiratory infection. Another possibility could be that he regurgitated at some point and now has sinusitis. Regardless I would recommend seeing your vet so they can help determine the cause. Depending on the type of antibiotics he has been taking he may or may not need additional antibiotics.

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!
