Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. In dogs infected with parvo virus, there can be long term health effects from the infection such as chronic gastrointestinal disease. I would recommend going on a sensitive stomach formula and adding in a probiotic to see if this helps. As always, check the stool for intestinal parasites to make sure a parasite is not the cause. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
