Thank you for submitting your question regarding Marley. The best chance for a dog to survive a parvovirus infection is hospitalization at a veterinary hospital. IV fluids are given along with injectable antibiotics and anti-nausea medication. If the nausea can be controlled, then the puppy will eat. The immune system needs a large amount of calories to function so food needs to be consumed. I hope this information helps!
