My dog has bloody diarrhea, negative parvo test. Can it be wrong?

Question

4 days ago I brought him to the vet as he'd bloody diarrhea & vomiting. The vet made a medical guess saying he had parvo virus. The following two days're him being healthy again without any blood excretions & vomiting. He played actively & eating well. Today, I returned to the vet for testing. His stool sample's tested to be negative. After returning home, his condition came back worse all the sudden.He vomited & had bloody stool more than before. Doesnt eat. Can the test be wrong? What do I do? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 month and 28 days old

Parvo tests, just like many other medical tests, are not 100% accurate, There are certain strains of the Parvovirus that will show up as negative 100% of the time. You must rely on the veterinarian's clinical experience with the disease and the dog's presentation to determine if Parvo is an appropriate diagnosis. Sounds like Blue should get some radiographs and blood work to see what else might be going on. Hope this makes sense.
