I think my dog just got parvo. He started having diarrhea about 2-3 hours after leaving the dog park.there is blood in the stool and he has vomited twice now. He seems to be tired. He can still hold down water for the most part.

Oh no, I'm so sorry Franklin may have parvo! The incubation period of parvo is 7-14 days, so he could have become infected with it at previous trips to the dog park, especially if he isn't fully vaccinated. I would take him into a vet immediately, as it's quite serious that he is vomiting and has blood in his stool. The vet can do a blood test to confirm if he has parvo or not, and can treat him symptomatically. Unfortunately there is no cure for parvo, only supportive care and the best chance for his survival is with a vet. Be sure to call ahead to let the vet's office know you are coming and you suspect he has parvo. Parvo is highly contagious, and likely they will want you to come in a different entrance to avoid contact with other dogs. Good luck, I hope this helps!
