You need to provide absolute segregation between the two puppies - separate water dishes, separate food dishes, keep them in separate areas away from each other, etc. Also, anyone who interacts with the sick puppy needs to completely change clothes, including socks and shoes, and wash their hands, arms, face, neck and hair before going around the healthy puppy. These measures are needed because the parvo virus is extremely hardy and can travel around on object like food dishes, people's clothing or hands, or even on dirt tracked through the house.

As this is fairly extensive work, it is generally easier to leave the sick puppy at the local vet clinic for in-patient treatment until it is no longer contagious and is getting healthy again. Once the sick puppy is better and no longer contagious, it is safe to bring it home and let it play with its friend.

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.
