It is possible that your dog could have caught parvo from your daughter's dog, especially if she wasn't fully vaccinated. Having her shots done less than a week ago will not have allowed enough time to occur to offer her protection, especially if it was her first vaccine. Given that she has been around a dog who has had parvo, I would take your dog into the vet immediately. Parvo is deadly, and she should be treated right away if she does have it for the best chance of survival. There is no cure for parvo, only symptomatic treatment. The vet can do a blood test to see if she does have parvo. Please take her into a vet immediately.
