He not drink or eating anything and has been threw up 4 times and once it was clear and foamy, he's lethargic and not playing with his toys like he usually does, sleeping all day, could it be parvovirus, we have had three other dogs with parvovirus so it's probably in our yard, but that was over 5 years ago.

If you suspect parvo, you should probably get him tested.

Parvo lives in the soil for a very long time. If you had three dogs with the virus on your property, then I would suspect that your soil is pretty potent when it comes to the virus.

The only safe way to find out what is wrong with your dog is to make an appointment with your vet and rule some things out. It could be parvo, it could me Campylobacter, it could be garbage gut or it could be that there is something stuck in his throat.

Thanks we got him checked and he was tested positive for parvovirus and is staying hospitalized until better.

Thanks we got him checked and he was tested positive for parvovirus and is staying hospitalized until better.

Please keep us posted. I hope he makes a full recovery.

For future reference. The only thing that can kill parvo in your home and yard is bleach. Yes, you'll have to bleach your yard, and your entire house. That is if you ever plan on getting another puppy.

It's a pain in the butt to do, it will kill your grass, but it will also kill the virus. Extreme heat, extreme cold, none of those will kill the virus. Only bleach.

Your little one is in my thoughts.

Thank you so much, I'll will keep posting on his recovery.
