Hello! It sounds as though your dog might be dehydrated, or may benefit from IV fluids (into the vein) and / or an antisickness injection to stop them losing body-fluid through vomit. It may be possible that your practise cannot offer this for some reason or think its unnecessary - remember that I cannot see your dog and don't actually know what they need, or the vets' set up - but it would be a good idea to ask if thats the case. Remember that I can't see your dog; I'm just guessing what I'd be thinking about from the information I've got. If a dog continues to vomit then their hydration status should be assessed again regularly because it can change extremely fast. Please remember that if a dog has Parvovirus, they may need to be isolated from other dogs, so tell the veterinary receptionist before mingling in areas with other dogs and wash your hands / change your clothes / try not to stroke other dogs when you go in. Some practices may have better facilities for Parvovirus nursing than others. On the other hand, if the vet thinks that there is nothing more they can do, the choices may be between a (quick!) second opinion elsewhere - always tell them it may be Parvo in advance - and euthanasia. I hope that something here helps.
