Hi Lori, I'm so sorry about your puppy, but he needs to stay in the hospital where they can give him emergency care if he needs it. Your Vet is right, at his age, his chance of beating parvo is slim. He needs IV because if he dehydrates his heart will stop. There is nothing you can do at home that will help him get better. You want him home for you and you have to understand, he is NOT over this yet. Most puppies do not survive parvo. He is depressed because he is very ill, but being in your home he will only go down hill faster because he needs Iv and the Vets consistent attention. I think if you bring him home, the trip home, you trying to pet him and make him eat will make him go down hill faster. I know you love him, but you have to love him enough to let the Vet do his job and hope he can save him. This is not over yet. He has lost nutrition, and there could be permanent damage to his brain, kidneys, heart or CNS and only the Vet will know. He was trying to prepare you for the worse when he told you he thought the puppy would be dead my now. But your puppy is a fighter, so leave him where he has the best chance to get better. You have to be brave now to. Good luck, I will say a prayer for you and your baby boy and hope the Vet has another miracle up his sleeve. If you have any other questions, please ask.
