Parvo. Almost definately. My boxer had the same symptoms. Be prepared to make a decision to either pay around $1000 for treatment that may or may not work or put him down.
We opted for the treatment and after 5 days in ICU he has made a full recovery.
Parvo is a disease that eats away at the stomach and intestinal linings and is horribly painful for the puppy so the faster you get him to the vet the better chance you'll have of saving its' life.
Please don't wait until morning, you should go now.

Definately parvo....how long has this been going on, it may already be too late. Parvo is highly contagious to pups under 1yr old, and it lives in the dirt for up to 50yrs. Get the pup to a vet ASAP. and any other dogs in the household that havent been vaccinated.

My puppies had same symptoms. More chance of a Parvo. But thjis could even happen if it had eaten something harmful. Please the poor puppy to the vet immediately. Better isolate it from other puppies and dogs. Hope for the best. Take care.

People on this forum can't tell you what the problem exactly is, they can poke around @ it and guess, but they won't know. The best thing to do is to take your dog to the emergency vet and have them look at your dog, then they can definately know what is wrong with your dog and treat him right away. The only person who can truely know what the problem is a vet perhaps a vet technician.

Could be parvo. It has a distinct smell to it.
He also could have eaten a bone in which case he will need surgery.
Needs to be checked by a vet

If he hasn't had all of his vaccinations he may very well have parvo. Get him to the vet now.

what is wrong with you? when you see signs of this, the right and sensible thing to do is go to the Vet, for now give him some sugar water to get his energy up, oh god, maybe he ate something in the road, something like we go through when we eat bad food, food poison, just call your vet and take him there asap, then wasting time on-line, prey nothing happens to your dog

Could be parvo, coccidia, giardia. Only the vet can say for sure. Take him to the vet ASAP!

Could be a lot of things, but get the dog to the vet before he dies. If it was you how would you feel if you were not being taken care of?
