If Alexaander has been treated for parvovirus recently it is concerning that he is still vomiting. Sometimes dogs with parvovirus can develop an intussusception, which is a condition where the intestine folds in on itself causing an obstruction. This could cause diarrhea to stop while vomiting continues. Severe dehydration could also cause this. I would recommend a recheck with the vet who initially treated Alexaander: they may recommend some tests like an x-ray or additional treatment to control nausea and correct dehydration.
