My puppy has parvo and won't eat. How long can she go without food?

Question

My puppy has parvo and isn’t eating. How long can she go without eating? I made an appointment for the vet for tomorrow morning but she hasn’t eaten in 21 hours. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 11 days old | 7.5 lbs

They can go several days without eating, but it's good that you're getting her to the vet. The biggest / most pressing concern is the severe dehydration that parvo can cause, as well as possibility of secondary infections from the compromised GI tract.
