My German Shepherd puppy has diarrhea. Is it parvo if she's active?

Question

I have a german shepherd and it has diarrhea, its brown, its smells really really bad, she's very active, don't eat that much but she still eats, today she's getting her second round of shots. Im worried that she has parvo but she haven't vomit nothing not even once. The only thing she has is the diarrhea. It can be parvo? And if its parvo how can i cure her at home?

Poor pup! It's certainly possible that this could be parvo, but in my experience most puppies with parvo are also very lethargic, vomiting, and not eating. She could also have intestinal parasites, an intestinal infection of some kind, or an upset stomach due to something she ate. I would recommend taking her to the vet for an exam first, to find out for sure what is causing her diarrhea - then your vet can discuss treatment recommendations based on what is found. In the meantime, I would suggest withholding food for the next 6-12 hours to give her stomach a chance to rest. After that, you can try feeding a bland diet of plain boiled chicken and rice until you are able to see the vet.
