 No experience of parvo or it's symptoms but I would ring your vet, especially as he's so young. Hope he picks up soon though :luv:

No experience of parvo either but when Coco was a tiny pup she often had runny poo  ::)  Have you changed his food lately?  Or has he eaten anything he shouldn't have out in the garden?  It might just be a tummy bug but I would def speak to the vet if it lasts more than 24 hours as he is so young and they can dehydrate very quickly  :-\ Starving him for 24 hours and then a few days of chicken and rice with some live yogurt then gradually changing back to his normal food might do the trick but I would talk to the vet anyway  ;)  There are loads of things other than parvo it could be though  ;)

Hope he is better soon  ;)

I've got a lot of experience with parvo with my work, unfortunately. The main thing is the smell, once you smell parvo you will never forget it, and the poo would be very mucusy. Also, they go very very flat and don't even want touched in my experience.

I have to say, your pup sounds like he just has a bug, hopefully. Let us know how he gets on. :-*

It's extremely important that if he has dioreah and/or sickness he keeps hydrated. If he won't drink from his bowl try putting the water onto a teaspoon and gently putting it into his mouth.

Hope he's ok, poor little fella  :luv:

it is extremely important to keep them hydrated, with plenty of fluids ( water, either by a spoon or syringe).
