My 12 week old puppy will not eat (hasn’t really eaten a lot the entire 3 weeks he’s been with us). Now for 2 days no food. Will drink water. He is very lethargic. He isn’t excited or playful. Could he have parvovirus?

Yes, he could have parvo. I suggest you get him to the vet for an exam. Regardless if he has parvo or not, he cannot go on not eating. He needs to be seen by a vet to figure out what is going on.
