My dog has been vomiting in a gap of 2-4 days. He was treated for Parvo but vomiting has not stopped. Diarrhea has stopped. What could the reason be?

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.
