I had a dog recently pass away from parvo symptoms but not exactly sute the cause, now my female dog seems to be having similar symptoms and both are were vaccinated. Can she possibly have what my other dog had?

If both dogs were properly vaccinated for parvo, then it would be unlikely. However, I am concerned that there could be some infectious or toxic process going on. Since your other dog died, I would recommend that Bane see a vet as soon as possible. I would still recommend a parvo test, as well as investigation into other causes that look like parvo (often lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea), such as intestinal parasites, liver disease, intestinal blockage, etc. Your vet may recommend x-rays and bloodwork in addition to a parvo test.

I'm so sorry Winnie passed suddenly. If she was vaccinated for parvo, then it wouldn't have been parvo that caused her to die. I believe as well that if the vet suspected parvo, they would have done a blood test for it at the first visit. Unfortunately without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain what caused her to pass. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.
