The emergency vets office was no help when I called. So I left a message for our regular vet..This morning she called us back, of course not until after I stayed up all night just staring at him. Basically she suspects it is a bowel irritation...So I have collected a stool and we are headed into the vet in about an hour...

Basically she said that it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY he would have parvo as he does not have a fever (and yes I put him through the discomfort of taking his temp), he is still very energetic and could even be describe as wild and is eating and drinking normally with no vomiting. So her verdict is that it is most likely a parasite such as coccidia, or bowel irritation. We shall see and I will let everyone know!

Thank you all for the advice and support!

Thanks for the update, and good luck today. Your weather conditions sound horrible.
