My 8 month old pup has signs of Parvo. But it has hit her only in a few hours and she has all the symptoms of parvo including the bloody stools. She is usually a hypo girl but last night she was different compared to earlier in the afternoon.. she was off her food at dinner time and she just didn't look right so I put her in my laundry for th night.. I came out to her this morning and she had bloody stools and foamy vomit near her..
My question is... Can parvo virus hit this hard and this fast?[/B]

It can. Please get her to a vet. How is her vaccine status?

Have you ever had the flu? One minute you're fine, the next minute you're puking your guts out and can't leave the bathroom?
Parvo is exactly like that. Your dog can be fine one minute, and deathly ill the next. Parvo not only comes on quickly, it is disease that can kill very quickly as well. Your dog needs to go to the vet right away, you can't afford to even wait another night.

They're not even willing to try the treatment? It's your choice. The treatment is expensive, and if you can't afford it, then yes, euthanasia is your only other option. But there is a treatment for parvo. It doesn't always work, but it's a chance at least.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm hoping that there's still a chance for your girl. If not, know that whatever you decide is the right thing for her.
