Pretty positive you have a case of parvo on your hands. I just had a little black lab recover (luckily) from it. They are unable to eat and drink. Vomiting and diahrea is a constant and blood is often found in the stool.
Until you can get your pup to the vet, you need to force water and/or gatorade in her. Don't worry about food.
Clean EVERYTHING with BLEACH. Throw away toys and buy new AFTER this is done. Keep a mat that holds water and put bleach in it as well outside your door for you to step in (this helps reduce the spread).
Your pup needs to go to the vet RIGHT AWAY. They can do a parvo test and put her on an IV, give antibiotics and a medicine to settle their stomachs. If keeping her in the hospital isn't an option, ask your vet to give her an antibiotic injection as well as one to settle her stomach and send you home with an IV fluid bag that you give her 1-2 days a day at 100cc's and a bottle of antibiotic and naseous pills. You will have to force these pills down. The main thing is to keep your pup HYDRATED though, so keep a close eye. Make sure you clean everything. If at all possible, confine your puppy to a room that you can line several layers of newspapers on so when a mess is made, you can scoop it up and throw it away. I wish you the best of luck and hope this helps. My lab was very lucky. He had a relapse a day after treatment and the vet thought we would loose him; luckily, thanks to their care, he pulled through and now is a happy, go lucky, FIESTY, pup.

You need to be very watchful of the puppy's behaviour as well. Listlessness, fever, weight loss or lack of urination are red flags to get your puppy to a vet ASAP.
Since you mentioned blood in the stool, it sounds like the stomach lining is very irritated..either by something the puppy ingested, or a virus or bacteria in the puppy's system.
You REALLY need to get this puppy to a vet. A young dog can really take a turn for the worse FAST and without treatment, this puppy may dehydrate and organs will begin to shut down.
Please hurry.
Best Wishes

This is the signs of parvo. My puppy just passed from parvo. The most important question you have to ask yourself is if you are ready for the cost to save your puppy. And ask them if you have the option for a Parvo take home kit where you administer the fluids yourself. Although its not the same as the intravenous drip at least your giving your puppy a chance to live.

If you don't have an er vet, call your vet's after hours number and bite the cost --- if she hasn't eaten in that long she most likely won't make it to morning! Get her to the vet, 10 minutes ago!

Take her to the vet. She could have worms or be very sick from distemper or parvo virus etc. Pupies will also eat anything, I mean anything! So be careful what is left around that she can get into or chew on. I hope everything is o.k.

I'd take her to the vet and rule out parvo.Spoon water into her mouth or do it wit a syringe, you do not want her dehydrated. I wouldn't offer her any more milk as that is hard to digest and make her more ill.
Good luck.

has she had her shots? Parvo is a killer diease that is hard to fight, when i got my puppy she had it, she wouldnt eat,drink she would throwup blood, her stool was blood. I ran her into the vet and they put her on meds and filled a tube with water and injected it into her cause she was so dehiderated. luckly she lived, but it was a close call.. get your pupppy to the animal hospital now!!

Take the puppy to the vet. A puppy can dehydrate and die very fast. There are no vets on Yahoo.

take her to the vet immediately, she could have a virus called parvo, it is very serious and it can be fatal to puppies, mine got it and he vomitted and had diarhea with blood in it, it is a virus and if you don't get treatment immediately she could die, not trying to scare you but we also had german shepard pups and lost the whole litter to that virus, it eats away at the intestinal lining and they don't get over it on their own, they have to be treated by a vet so please for her sake take her asap b/c i can guarantee you she is in alot of serious pain, they can't keep anything down at all, so please take her in, read about it on the internet you will see if you think i'm joking
