Given that Mika is up to date with his vaccines, he won't catch parvovirus from this dog if that was what was making the dog sick. It could also be that dog ate something that made him sick, and if Mika ate it as well, that could also cause vomiting and diarrhea. I would monitor him for now, and see if he also develops vomiting and diarrhea. If he does, then I would have him examined by a vet.
