The thread got lost somehow.

Here's what I last replied, Matthew:

Did he stay at the vet hospital overnight? Is he there?

I'm not clear about whether he stayed at the hospital. Did he? If not, he should go right back, IMO.
If it's Parvo, IV fluids can keep him alive.
From http://www.workingdogs.com/parvofaq.htm :
QUOTE: Many people just assume that any case of diarrhea in a dog is from parvovirus. This is not true. There are a lot of other diseases and disorders that lead to diarrhea. If you have a puppy, don't take any chances. Have your puppy examined by your vet if diarrhea is a factor in any disease. It is better to be safe than to be sorry.
If your dog becomes infected with parvovirus, he has about a 50-50 chance of survival. If he makes it through the first three to four days, he will usually make a rapid recovery, and be back on his feet within a week. It is vital, however, that he receives supportive therapy immediately. It must be stressed that this is not a bad case of doggy flu; without medical treatment, most puppies die. END
