A 3 month old puppy can survive parvo virus but it usually takes veterinary care to prevent dehydration from the vomiting and diarrhea. Most dogs with parvo require intravenous fluids, anti-vomiting medications, antibiotics, and other medications to treat. He should be examined and treated by a vet, if possible, to confirm the diagnosis and treat. The prognosis without veterinary care is not good, especially if he has severe vomiting and diarrhea.

Without some diagnostics like antibody testing, I would recommend to treat Tee as if he had been infected with parvo as well. Tee will not be able to meet any puppies that have not been fully vaccinated for parvo for 6 months. You will need to be very careful about who you expose to him because you don’t want that puppy to get parvo as well. Additionally, the home environment will be contaminated for 1 to 2 years so you cannot bring any unvaccinated dogs or puppies into the environment for that length of time. That also means you cannot go to any dog parks for the next six months because he will shed the virus in the stool and this could lead to exposure for unvaccinated animals as well. Socialization is very important and you need to make sure this happens. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hello. The most important thing to look for is an increase in any vomiting &/or diarrhea. Then, is he eating & drinking some? If he totally stops eating & drinking & has vomiting & diarrhea, you need to have him seen immediately. Generally with Parvo, puppies should be hospitalized & receive constant fluids, anti nausea & antibiotic medications. It is difficult to treat them for Parvo at home. I hope Chapy does well & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

As long as Begum is current on her puppy vaccination series, meaning that she has had her booster shots on time, it's unlikely that she will develop parvo even if she has been exposed. The vaccine is normally very effective. That being said, there isn't anything you can do one way or the other at this point to influence whether she'll get sick or not. Just hope the vaccine has done its job! To be safe, I would monitor her closely for the next 10-14 days for any signs of parvo, including vomiting, bloody diarrhea, lethargy, or not wanting to eat. If you have any concerns, you should take her to the vet to start treatment right away.
