Hello. I have seen pets that still refuse food even after they seem clinically recovered from Parvo. One pup took almost 14 days to start eating on his own. We now have very good appetite stimulants, so encourage your vet to be using them ( if available in your country ). Give Jack a little more time & if he is recovering, his appetite will return. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
