Parvo can kill pups from myocarditis. Does anybody know if recovered pups have more risk to have heart damage or future heart problems?

How old is the puppy? And do you have CPV vaccines or just DHP?

Once over 16 weeks a single dose should be preventative for a year, so that might factor into things as well.

I would wait at least a couple of weeks. It won't get parvo again, and it's unlikely anything else going to get the pup at this stage - unless very unlucky, and this pup is clearly lucky!

I'd give it a fortnight to get over the infection and put some weight on, if it's growing it's healthy.

I'm not sure another SNAP test is going to bring anything to the party.

Did you do any haematology? I've seen parvo pups profoundly neutropaenic, that would be something you could check had resolved if you want numbers.

Couple of weeks, bright, normal faeces and I'd vaccinate.
