My dog has parvo, no improvement after 3 days. Should I keep trying?

Question

My dog has parvo we took him to the vet within 24 hours of him showing symptoms of it. The vet gave us IV fluids to do at home and antibiotics and nausea medication for him. We have been treating him at how for 3 days now, with little to no improvements. We don’t want to be selfish and make him suffer if he’s not going to make it, but we don’t want to put him to sleep if he can pull through this. Any advice?

I'd keep giving Slash the fluids and medications as directed. Parvovirus is quite deadly and makes an animal very sick, and it can be days before they show signs of improvement. I'd also recommend taking him back into a vet in the morning, and they can advise you of further options.
