Since Cooper is a young puppy and according to this he keeps vomiting so it is not a single episode in addition he is not eating, In this case I would be more concern then an adult dog as young animals are more prone to dehydration. I would recommend to contact your vet to examine cooper and start supportive treatment to help stop the vomiting sooner then later.

    Vaccines cannot help when a puppy is already sick, vaccines only prevent your puppy from getting infected in the first place. At this stage your puppy needs veterinary treatment- antibiotics, anti vomiting medications and fluid therapy, you must take him to the vet urgently otherwise he won't survive.

    That could be a reaction from vaccination. I would recommend to give him a bland diet and if signs persist have him checked again. Do not give him any tablet until he is completely fine again and can keep food down. Worming tablets (depending on the product) can be given every month or every 3 months. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

    One parvo vaccine is not enough to protect him from parvo. Did he get three sets of vaccine boosters or only one set? Any vomiting puppy is a parvo suspect. I would assume vets would be open for emergency cases??? If not, all you can do is supportive care at home and hope he makes it. There is no medication I can recommend because I have no idea what you have available to you. If you would like to post again with a link to a local pharmacy or something like that where we can see what is available there may be some human antacid medications we can recommend that may help him.
