My dog had parvo symptoms but recovered quickly. Was it parvo?

Question

Is it possible for a dog with a symptom of parvo to become energetic within the same day? In the morning she pooped but her poop was wet but still had shape, she also vomited and was lethargic. I got her meds from the vet and when i came home her poop was runny and had and smelled like blood. After giving her meds in the morning, In the afternoon she regained strength and is almost recovered in the evening since she ate, drank water and was playful. Was it parvo or another disease?

If Paris tested positive for parvovirus it is likely that she did have parvovirus since we do not typically see a false positive on the test. While many dogs get very sick from parvovirus there are some dogs who develop mild clinical signs and others can even be asymptomatic for the disease. If she did not have a parvovirus test performed than it certainly could have been another disease - there are many causes of vomiting and bloody diarrhea in puppies ranging from intestinal parasites to dietary indiscretion (eating non-food items). I'm glad she's feeling better!
