He most likely will not die even if it is parvo, he will just need to be supported with fluids. Those that are vaccinated usually get a lighter case. The freezing weather makes me think that any virus he could have been exposed to would be killed so not likely parvo. He is still drinking and eating which is a very, very good sign. A dog with parvo will not even eat the most tempting food. No vomiting at this point? A lot of people describe any loose watery stool as diarrhea, but the frequency is actually what is more important. As long as you can put more fluid in then what is coming out you are probably okay. I know you love your dog, but putting yourself (and dog) at risk by walking 8 miles in extreme temperatures doesn't seem like the best thing to do at this point.
