At this point, if she was exposed to Parvo the best thing you can do is take her to a vet as soon as she starts to show any signs (vomiting and diarrhea) to start treatment immediately. The incubation period is 3 to 7 days. If it turns our she doesn't actually have parvo than have her vaccinated as soon as possible.
