Hello. Puppies usually are very nauseous & will have a bloody diarrhea with Parvo virus infections, but do not usually vomit up blood. Severe intestinal parasite infestations can mimic parvo, especially with whipworms & hookworms, & there other possible causes for the symptoms including a severe bacterial gastritis, other viruses, toxins & ingestion of foreign objects. I hope Katy is being treated & is doing better. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
