your mom or you needs to call your vet and ask first, please! it's free to call , the vet is obligated to answer ALL your questions about your dog he treated for parvo. you really also should bring in a stool sample for the vet to check..your dog could be suffering from worms..but the vet check is the only way you can know. with the increasingly disease infested puppymills, the Back yard breeding, and overpopulation of unwanted dogs, diseases ARE on the rise. Also, like happened with humans, superviruses are seen in dogs now due to vets chronically prescribing antibiotics for every thing. so while when your mom was a kid, she probably never had to take her dog to the vet except for vaccines, it's a different health style for dogs today. i'd be very careful with a dog who recently had parvo. if a healthy dog just had one bout of diarrhea, sure you wouldn't be rushing to the vet. but parvo is serious and her immune system is low right now. and be careful because SOME Kaopectate contains asprin. unnecessary and possibly dangerous for your dog. pepto bismo would be better but the best is to just call your vet. ADD: DO NOT GIVE YOUR DOG SUGAR! i know you're not stupid, may i just recommend you check out a basic dog book? "The Dog Whisperer"(NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TV SHOW) is an excellent book that covers nutrition, disease, training, and behavior. http://www.amazon.com/Dog-Whisperer-Compassionate-Nonviolent-Approach/dp/1580622038
