It all depends on how bad he has it and stuff like that, but to be sure ask a local vet.
Answer:Yes, there is. However, it requires determined effort and some measure of good fortune.Dehydration is usually the actual cause of death for a dogwith parvo, so the dog must be kept hydrated to survive.
If the dog gets too sick to drink voluntarily (which is likely with parvo), force a liquid containing electrolytes, such as Pedialyte. Use the unflavored variety and administer it by bottle or medicine syringe. A recommended amount is two to four cc per pound of body weight every hour.
This might need to be done around the clock for two to three days, which is where the determined effort comes in. My family took turns staying up with a Lab pup for 48 hours straight to pull him through it. When they perk up enough to start drinking on their own again, they're "out of the woods."
Parvo is deadly serious, but if the dog can survive the risk of dehydration while it's at its worst, the illness will run its course and the dog can make a full recovery.

A puppy who has just receieved a parvo vaccine can touch the ground immediately, as long as they are not in direct contact with a canine who has the parvo virus. It is unlikely for a puppy to contact parvo immediately after vaccination.

Parvo is caught by inhaling, eating, bacteria from poo. You should give all puppies their full set of vaccinations, parvo is really dangerous and unless you want your puppy to die you should give it its vaccinations
Which factor distinguishes experimental group from control group?
In an experimental design comparing two groups in which one group gets one treatment and another group gets a second treatment, the experimental group is the group with the "different" treatment. The control is the "usual" treatment; the experimental group gets the "new" treatment. Of course, things get complicated with more complicated "experiments."
If a dog gets parvo how long should it take to before the dog dies?
Parvo is not always a death sentence. Take your dog to the vet and see what they can do. If they say your dog has no chance of survival, then please be kind and put him to sleep pain-free, rather than allowing him to die a slow, painful death.

My dog is a parvo survivor can she give birth?
Well as a survivor of Parvo I don't have to tell you what a mean nasty virus it is. And as bad as it was for your dog, imagine what it would do to an entire litter of week old puppies. That being said the answer relies alot on how you dealt with it and where your dog is. Parvo can live in the environment for up to 6 years. It doesn't matter how cold it gets or how hot and dry it's been... Parvo's one tough bugger. And oddly enough it's tougher to kill Parvo in your house than it is outside. If your dog was kenneled outside on a concrete slab that gets bleached weekly (like it should) and at least a year or two has passed (for the virus to runs it's course through the local wildlife) then you're probably safe. If you have moved since she's had Parvo... you're definitely safe. If your dog was kept inside and you still live there I would caution against breeding her. It's really all a judgment call you should be talking to your vet about and not somebody on the internet. The fact is now that she has survived Parvo it makes the antigens in her milk stronger and more resistant to the Parvovirus. Does that mean you can get away with not vaccinating? Heck NO!!! Check with your Vet and most likely they'll want to give a Parvo shot at 5 weeks before going into the normal 6, 9, 12, and 15 week round of shots. But for those first 5 weeks I would be sweating bullets if I were in your shoes.
