    Sounds like it might be Parvo, either way immediate medical attention is crucial. Please get her to a 24 hour animal hospital now.

    Sounds like it's time to go to the Vet ER.

    If he loves his dog so much the best would be to take it to the vet!

    Shouldn't your dog have been vaccinated against parvo? Please clean your hands and bleach everything before touching another dog.

    J_9 already posted a link to wiki to explain what it is. Read the post and click on the link.

    As for heartworms, I'm sure you already know if the dog already has them, you can't treat them with heartworm medication (for prevention) or they will clog up and cause the dog to die. Get that taken care of while you're at the vet for the other, if you haven't already.

    They probably won't treat for the heartworms while the dog is already sick. Heartworm treatment is brutal, and can wind up killing the dog if the infestation is bad enough. You definitely don't need the added stress of recovering from some other illness at the same time.
