Best of luck! My prayers are with you. Sounds like he's a big, healthy pup with a strong will to live.

A malamute we had when I was a pup got it right after we got him. We took him to the vet where he went on IV fluids and she stayed up all night with him. She called us the next morning to tell us "well, I think he's going to make it. He ate the IV!" He lived a long, happy life and turned into a huge, strong dog.

Aww how sad!! I wish the best for both of you. Sounds like he is headed in the right direction. If they have the will to live, they normally do...
If he doesn't want to eat ask your vet if you can give him some pedisure. When my lab was run over by a tractor(she actually survived that!!) there were a couple of days before her surgery and she would not eat. The vet had me try that a little at a time. She loved it!!!! It gave her the nutrients and vitamins she needed.
Best wishes to you both

Keeping you and Tonto in prayer. Sounds like he's getting better by the day.
Yogurt/probiotics may help as well for his poor overworked gastrointestinal tract, especially if they gave him lots of antibiotics to fight the parvo.
Hang in there! You're a good mom to Tonto!
