THEIR ARE NO SIGNS OF THE VIRUS SHE SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE VETS LAST WEEK FOR BLOODY STOOLS THEY GAVE HER FLUIDS ANTIBIOTIC AND TABLETS CLAVASEPTIN 2 OTHER PUPS THAT WERE WITH HER IN THE ANIMAL SANTUARY HAVE DIED FROM PARVO I ONLY HAVE HER 2 WEEKS SHE WAS VACCINATED ON SECOND DECEMBER

Answer

The incubation period for exposure to parvo virus is usually between 5 and 14 days. This means that it takes that long for symptoms to appear. The symptoms that you will want to look for are vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and abnormally colored feces.

Here is a bit more information about the disease: http://www.VeterinaryPartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&A=583

The fact that she has had her first vaccinations is in her favor.

Was the exposure in your house or somewhere else?
