Doberman puppy vomiting & diarrhea after parvo shots, should I worry?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 18 days old | 33 lbs

My 4 month old Doberman puppy had diarrhea yesterday most of the day but was fine and had an appetite last night. He had a solid bowel movement this morning and was playful and ate and drank pretty normally today until 4:30pm when he had eaten till his tummy was full and now he has vomited 3 times and is having diarrhea again. He has already had 2 (from our vet) possibly 3 vaccines for parvo. The breeder said they gave him one before I got him. I'm not thinking it's parvo but I'm pretty worried

Hi. Yes, parvo is still high on the list of possibilities at this age with those signs. Other possibilities are that he got it to somwthing, or has a fecal parasite, dietary indiscretions, and much more. I'd get him checked and tested tomorrow am. In meantime, off boiled chicken and rice in small amounts
