Yorkie

My 10 week old Puppy had parvovirus, but she has had a relapse, yesterday morning she was a little paralysed, but I gave her water and some chicken and she was fine ran around again etc, but since last night she doesn't want to eat or drink, and she's just laying down, I give her electrolyte water every 20 minutes, as well as something to eat but with a syringe. We are taking her to the vet this afternoon, but what can be wrong and what can I do in the meantime?

Hello!  Hopefully you have been to the vets by now, but in general if a pup is lethargic then the vet should be called immediately, so that they can be triaged over the phone.  Emergency vets only tend to ask to see animals if there's a significant chance that it could be life threatening. I'd have to see 'a little paralysed' to understand what that is technically, but it could be that dehydration recurred and more fluids were needed.   Hopefully however this is water under the bridge now and your pup has already received that the necessary help. Wishing her the best Liz
