Hello - yes, indeed, many young dogs do recover from Parvo, even after several days of hospitalisation and diarrhoea. Indeed, the chances of survival are much higher now than they used to be, because fluid therapy (putting fluids into the puppy fast enough the meet their losses) has improved a lot. Animals on fluids should be supervised round the clock, to keep this going. Unless you are in a position to administer fluid therapy, which is a specialist procedure, we stringly reccommend that patients are treated in hospital. It doesn't guarentee survival but makes a massive difference.
