Hello. The most important thing to look for is an increase in any vomiting &/or diarrhea. Then, is he eating & drinking some? If he totally stops eating & drinking & has vomiting & diarrhea, you need to have him seen immediately. Generally with Parvo, puppies should be hospitalized & receive constant fluids, anti nausea & antibiotic medications. It is difficult to treat them for Parvo at home. I hope Chapy does well & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
