My parvo puppy keeps vomiting and shaking. Is he dehydrated?

Question

I forgot to add; he is taking meds for nasaua and vomiting. My puppy has parvo and is being treated at home. He's recieved 2 rounds of IV fluids and penicillin, as well as the cerenia. He last had cerenia 9 am on 2/16/18. It is 2:30 am 2/17/18 and hes throwing up every 15-30 mins. Should i give him another dose of cerenia? He won't keep down any fluids or food, but is getting IV treatment, 250 ml daily, should i be concerned of dehydration? And he wont stop shaking, why is that? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | 15 lbs

No, Cerenia last for 24 hours so redosing will not help. Since he is still vomiting, make sure you take all food and water away. Do not let him have anything by mouth to try to get his stomach to rest for 4-6 hours. Dehydration is still a concern given his size with the vomiting continuing despite the fluids he is getting. shaking can be a sign of cold or pain. Abdominal cramping is a major problem with parvo and he may need medication for that. Parvo is very aggressive and hard to treat and watch. Just keep with the medication and the IV fluids .
