Vomiting, not eating or drinking, lethargy, a black or tarry stool, with a strong scent of iron. If you suspect Parvo, it is very important that you get your dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible, and in the mean time do not expose any other dogs to the symptomatic animal, or the area.

Can dogs get parvo from cats?
No. Parvo is a disease ONLY in dogs that attacks the cells in the GI tract. This disease is not zoonotic (humans cannot catch it) and neither can felines. Felines can get another form of parvo called panleukopenia unrelated to Parvo with similar symptoms. But dogs can't catch it from cats and vice versa.Source: Veterinary Technician at an emergency and specialty hospital.
