My puppy has parvo but is active and eating. Will she survive?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 13.6 lbs

Hey there, my puppy was diagnosed with parvo, at first she wasn’t active for 3 days straight till just yesterday she started running and playing around, the thing is that she eats and drinks a lot of water. Our vet gave me some things to treat her at home, does she have a good chance at surviving? :/

I am sorry to hear your pup has been sick! If she is eating and drinking without vomiting and is active these are great signs! Many puppies with parvo do great if they have appropriate supportive care, so just be sure to continue any treatments your vet recommended and if she declines in any way bring her back in to her vet for examination.
