My one-month-plus puppy has sneezed the last two days, vomited yellow and a worm came out, got a deworming shot, vet said give pediatric cold medicine; hoping it’s just a cold, worried about parvovirus. What’s the likely cause, or any recommended test strips?
Vomiting a worm means internal parasites, needing deworming; sneezing may be from chill, so follow the vet's cold medicine. A colloidal-gold strip for parvo is rough and often false-negative early; PCR at a vet is best.
I have a Samoyed puppy (two months and eight days) with repeated dry heaving and clear runny nose. The vet tested negative for distemper and parvovirus, blood test showed high white cells and anemia, and gave three shots (anti-inflammatory, stomach, cold), then three more at night. Today it first passed bloody stool at home, the bloody part mucus-like. Normally energy is good and appetite normal.
Kennel cough starts abruptly with cough, runny nose, sneeze, and eye/nose discharge, progressing from dry to wet cough; common in 2-3 month pups. Your dog does not match it; follow the vet for further diagnosis and treatment.
How does a puppy catch canine distemper?

Coughing, runny nose, loves to sleep, won’t eat
Cough, runny nose, lethargy and anorexia suggest respiratory infection, distemper or other disease. If vaccinated, rule out infectious disease. If unvaccinated with these signs plus fever, distemper is likely—see a vet. If it is a cold, keep warm, give dog cold medicine and plenty of water.
Why does my Teddy (Poodle) have thick white nasal discharge?
Thick white nasal discharge in a Teddy can have many causes. Inhaling irritants like dust or pollen can cause an allergic inflammatory reaction with white discharge; remove the allergen and give anti-allergy medication. It may also indicate respiratory infection or kennel cough.
How do you know if a Teddy (Poodle) has a cold?
A Teddy's cold symptoms resemble humans': sneezing, coughing, runny nose, lethargy, loss of appetite, watery eyes, and fever. Colds may be from bacterial or viral infection; mild cases can be treated with pet cold and anti-inflammatory medication.
Can a Puppy With a Runny Nose Get Vaccinated?
Dogs showing any sign of illness—such as a runny nose, sneezing, vomiting, or diarrhea—should not be vaccinated, because live-attenuated vaccines can worsen an existing condition. Puppies need to be at least 45 days old for their first shot and about 3 months old for the rabies vaccine, with deworming spaced roughly a week apart. After vaccination, observe the dog for 30 minutes, avoid baths for 7 days, and confirm immunity with an antibody test around 15 days later.
What is the incubation period of canine parainfluenza?
Canine parainfluenza incubates 5 to 6 days with a 1 to 2 week treatment course; puppies are most affected and progress fast. Signs go from sneezing and diarrhea to fever, cough, and later vomiting and seizures, lowering cure rate if late.
