My puppy was diagnosed with Parvo on Tuesday 3/24/20, and was started on antibiotics on Tuesday. She completed them Friday and her poop solidified and stopped seeing blood. Today she had 5 semisolid vowel movements with a very pungent smell. Is this normal for recovering dogs? How long should we expect her poop to be mushy and it to have a “parvo yellow” film?

The smell can be normal as can the mucous/yellow color. It can last for a couple weeks. I suggest you start him on a probiotic that may help correct the bacterial imbalance in his GI tract. https://www.allivet.com/p-1130-purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets-fortiflora-dog-supplement-box-of-30.aspx?SearchTerm=fortiflora+Auto
