I did not see anything that indicated parvo. I think the puppy was too young to leave its mother and is trying to figure out the whole feed business. Sometimes I wish the pet stores that sell animals like that would be outlawed against doing so. Marsha's advice was right on. I hope the pup gets better.

Run,do not walk to the nearest vet now.One that young can die,sounds like it may have parvo,if so,it will die.That is what you get into when you buy any dog from a pet store,go to your animal shelter and buy one. --- D S <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:skeet725%40yahoo.com> com> wrote: > 7 weeks is too young to have been taken away from > its mother.
