Vomiting, bloody foul smelling diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, depression. Parvo is a medical emergency.
Lethargy, loss of appetite, foul smelling poop with traces of blood, diarrhea, and dehydration.

Dehydration is the leading cause of death in parvo puppies. To see if your puppy is dehydrated, you can apply finger pressure to its gums. The gums should turn white, but quickly return to a healthy pink color. This color change looks similar to pinching your fingernail and observing the color change made there. Another method to check for dehydration is to grab then release a portion of your puppy's skin. The skin should quickly snap back and lie against the body. If there is any delay, then your puppy is dehydrated.

The quicker your puppy starts treatment once contracting parvo, the better. Parvo is a very serious illness and, if left untreated (or not properly treated), is often fatal.

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.

But dogs can't catch it from cats and vice versa.Source: Veterinary Technician at an emergency and specialty hospital.
