I am sorry to hear Puppy doesn't feel well. Whilst you are right to be concerned about parvo if you live in a heavily infected area, I would be less worried since you say Puppy is fully vaccinated. Given that Puppy ate a bone recently and has the symptoms develop since then I am suspicious that this is the cause. Ongoing vomiting, especially with a decresed appetite and the blood that you have seen is very concerning. Pain in the belly could be an indication of an infection, an obstruction/blockage, or even a condition called pancreatitis. I would recommend taking Puppy to your vet for a thorough physical exam. Depending on the findings they may recommend blood work, X-rays, hospitalization with IV fluids and even an ultrasound of the belly.
