Poor girl. Typically parvovirus takes 10 days after exposure for a pet to show symptoms, so if this all happened today, she is not sick due to the parvovirus. She likely either ate something she shouldn't have or may even have a foreign body. Also, if she had 2 parvovirus shots given 3-4 weeks apart, and the last one was given when she was at least 14 weeks of age, then she is still considered to be fully protected from parovirus. I would try fasting her for the next 12 hrs (water only), and then try feeding her a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese in small portions once every 6 hrs for the next few days, then slowly transition her back to her normal diet. If she is still vomiting and not acting right after 24-48 hrs, then it is best to take her to your vet for a proper exam. Here are some financial resources that I hope can help you afford a vet visit if needed. https://carecredit.com/vetmed Here a couple of still up and running grant options: redrover.org/relief/urgent-care-grants/ (typical grant amount is $200) all-creatures.org/gcm/help-cf.html - $50 maximum aid WHEN they have funds. a couple of 'special situation' ones: fveap.org - Vaccine Associated Sarcoma only thepetfund.com/ - Non-basic, non-urgent care (cancer treatment, heart disease, etc.) ONLY. Best of luck with your puppy and I hope that she feels better soon! Best wishes and take care.
