He is very larthargic like he can't get cumfotable, and when I give him water within 5 or 10 minits he has thrown it up, he can't keep anything down. I know the symptoms of parvo but he doesn't have diahrea or anything, and I'm trying to keep high hopes, he is a pit bull who just turned 5 months on the 28th of feb. PLEASE HELP ME:(

If he cannot keep anything down, it's time to go to the vet, ASAP, because he will starve if he can't eat, and he will die if he doesn't keep water down. He may have a parasite, infection, numerous things. Emergency vet would be a good idea for sure.

Stop spending time on this website and go to the vet ASAP. I have 3 dogs and I've had many others, there's nothing you can do that will cure your sick puppy. Go to the vet and see what they say. If there's something serious that you can't afford think for the animal's well being and do what's best for him or her. I know its hard I'm dealing with my 9 year old lab who has cancer but I promise it gets better.. GO TO THE VET!

It sounds like he might have eaten something he shouldn't have, possible blockage. If your dog is up to date on it's shots, I would guess it's probably not parvo. Get to the vet to have him checked out.

Last night when I got off work I went home and laid down with him, and he started gasping for air like dry heaving and I panicked. So we rushed him to the vet, and they told me it was parvo, he has had some of his shots, but I guess he didn't get his parvo even though the vet I had gone to before told me she had given him everything. He is at the vet now and they tell me he is very far into it even though he's only been showing signs for 3 days, apparently he's had for about a week. From here on its touch and go, I went to see him this morning and it broke my heart he can't stand now and barely lifts his head, but he tried so hard for me. They said they have only lost one dog to parvo and will do anything they can to help me, thank you so much for e-mailing back.
Thank You,
Tanks MA'

Oh, honey I'm so sorry! I hope that your dog is OK! It's good that the vet has been able to cure lots of other dogs with parvo, so I hope things work out!

Try another vet... it sounds like they should have admitted him and watched him overnight.
