MANY canine parvo like diseases will test positive for parvo, such as: Campylobacter and Salmonella.  AND, IF a puppy was just vaccinated for parvo, it will test positive for parvo for at least 2 weeks post vaccination, even if it doesn’t have parvo.

Being vaccinated can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and/or lethargy in some puppies for 1 or 2 days post vaccination.  Traditional wormers can exhibit these symptoms immediately after dosing as well. When we used to vaccinate for parvo, distemper, lyme, corona, adenovirus, lepto, bordetella, etc., one of my canine companions would vomit and have diarrhea for days after being vaccinated.  She was still eating and running around, but just being vaccinated caused her to have diarrhea  and vomit for a few days after her vaccinations.  I didn’t correlate it at the time, but now I know this was her way of saying she was extremely sensitive to the vaccines.
