My dog might have Parvo... URGENT!

Ok, so I have a Jack Russell Terrier, she is only about 3 months old.
And today, roughly in the afternoon time, she started having Diarrhea and began vomitting.
And normally, she is a very happy, very energetic, and very hungry puppy.

But she's been walking around with her tail tucked (which is VERY MUCH outside of her nature), she hasn't been eating, and she hasn't been playing as much as she usually does.

Does this sound like Parvo to anyone?
And if so, what should I do?

Hi, personally i would take to a vet ASAP, the quicker a diagnosis is made the better chance of recovery if it is parvo.

When puppies have diarrhea and are vomitting they can become quickly dehydrated.
So my advice is take her to a vet today if possible, It maybe nothing but its not worth the risk of just leaving her to see how she gets on and something bad happening....

Definately take her to the vet as soon as possible. Those are some of the signs but there are also many other things it could be. Only a veterinarian can diagnose the problem.

Good luck!

I would agree with everyone else a vet visit and soon is your best choice to get a diagnosis on your little one. They can get dehydrated soo quickly. Best of luck for a speedy recovery!!
