Does My Puppy Have Parvo?

Can a puppy who's been vaccinated for Parvo still get it? My 18 week old beagle/basset mix has had diarrhea and been throwing up. He has been a lot less hyper than normal but we have had all of his shots done. I'm wondering if maybe he's just sick, this is the 3rd day of his diarrhea. We did recently change his food and he is still eating and drinking fine though. Normally he is very playful and hyper but lately you have to make him play. I am very worried!

If he is eating it isn't parvo. If he isn't better in a day or so take him to the vet. Have you changed his food recently? Sometimes a change in food can cause upset.

Get him to a vet ASAP.

Changing their food can make them sick. However, 3 days the poor puppy I am sure is very dehydrated. Get him to the vet. He needs fluids and a good check up. I knows vets are expensive but if you're going to have a pet, you've got to be responsible and get them care when they need it.
