What are the symptoms of parvo and how puppy gets it? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 18 days old

Parvovirus is found in the soil, so puppies get it by simply walking outside (unvaccinated) and picking it up on their feet, which they then lick and ingest the virus. Symptoms consist of vomiting, lack of appetite, lethargy, and diarrhea +/- blood.
