My puppy is vomiting often, not fully vaccinated. Is it parvo?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 25 days old | 10 lbs

My puppy is about 2.5 months old she had her first shots when she turned 6 weeks old as the Spectra 5 package said.She is about due for her second or maybe a little late. I went to my moms to get her last night & about 1 am she got sick, & every 5 minutes she would get sick, at first we figured it was her nerves being in a new home, but now idk.. she is still getting sick not as often but she is still getting sick, she is still eating (very little but throws it up) and she is still drinking watr

Poor Roxie! I would take her into the vet immediately. It's serious that she's been getting sick so frequently, and given that she is not fully protected from vaccines, I would be very concerned that she may have parvovirus. She should see a vet right away, she will need a shot to stop the vomiting, and any other treatment the vet deems necessary. The vet can do a blood test to diagnose parvo, and treat her for it should she have it. There is no cure for parvo, only symptomatic treatment, which needs to be started right away for the best chance of survival. Please take her into a vet now.
