I just want to say if it is parvo, be prepared to spend lots of money if you want to even possibly save her. She will need IV fluids, antibiotics and lots of love and care.
We recently had our puppy Noah spend 11 days in the hospital, and 6500.00 to save him from parvo. Part of that time we were out of town, as we had nonrefundable hotel and airfare. I sat for 4 days with him in my shirt, skin to skin and hand feeding him baby food from a jar! He even had a blood transfusion because He went septic. When he finally came home he was on on 4 antibiotics, probiotics, anti nausea medicines as well as panacur. His blood sugar wouldn't stabilize and the vets were to the point of having "the talk" with me about putting him down. It's a long process, and one I would repeat in a heartbeat, but I so wish we had never had to go through that nightmare! I am scared to bring a small puppy home. That stuff never goes away-even if you clean your house, bleach everything including your yard, it doesn't keep people from bringing it back in on their shoes and clothes or other dogs from reinfecting the yard.
