Puppy has Parvo: when will we be out of the woods...

Just to let you know, this is not a happy story. I'm so sorry that you are going through the dreaded parvo virus. We also had a miniature dachshund puppy, she was 9 weeks old. We didn't have her for 24 hours when she became ill. This was over Memorial Weekend and we took her to the emergency hospital where she was diagnosed. The treatments that were done for her consisted primarily of hydration via IV, antibiotics, also she was diagnosed with worms. Her symptoms were similar, not too much bloody diarrhea, which we thought was good, but not interested in eating although she ate a bit on the 3rd day and we started to think she had turned a corner but she went downhill really fast on the 4th night. Her temperature was plummeting which was indicative of shock and they tried to raise her body temp. She was such skin and bones OMG! I just thought "how can this little body fight this?" We prayed and prayed for her to make it but she passed away on the 5th morning. I hope that your story does not end this way and I'm sending a prayer for her. All of the veterinarians said that the sign of improvement is eating. Since her death, another friend said she lost a miniature dachshund puppy last year. I wonder if they are inordinately affected as a breed? My thoughts and my prayers are with you right now.

Well here is how it went down. I started administering parvaid lastnight around 6 o'clock at that point she was coherent but was puking everything we put in her out. By 12 am she was catatonic and would bareley look at us. We administered IV and contiued hourly parvaid doses. She was trying to puke it up but either couldnt or wouldnt. I went to bed at 4am and my wife watched her. She said she wet her bed without moving several times. At 8 AM we administered the IV and while administering it she pooped what looked to be a sausage lining in my lap without moving I went to wash up and change and while i was gone she puked and took her last breath. My wife didnt even realize she wasnt breathing. This has been the worse thing I have ever experienced with an animal.
We have since then bleached the entire house. Thrown out all beds and toys and bleached the yard. I dug a 3ft hole in the backyard and placed her in and filled with lime and dirt and placed rocks over the grave.
If you are treating parvo good luck to you. Keep your spirits high while trying to face the reality that the dog might not make it. It's nothing you can do it's mothernature at work and while it is possible to nurse a dog through it their chances are less than good. If ever I am faced with this kind of condition i will have the dog put to sleep.
Thank you for your encouraging words and advise. With time me and my wife will move on. Right now we are going to focus on each other and my 3 year old wheaten lab. Poor Cloe has been neglected the past week and needs some special attention.
