Question
My chihuahua has been sick for about 24 hours throwing up a little bit, not eating or drinking, I bought a canine distemper adenovirus type 2 parainfluenza parvovirus caccine modified live virus, today but when I got it home the cake one was broke and all the stuff was out of it.. Can I give her just the parvo vaccine that came with it?

Answer
Hi there,
you must be very worried about your little puppy. I would not give a vaccine to a sick animal. Your little puppy is trying to get well, so giving a vaccine will be completely ineffective.

Small breed puppies can deteriorate rapidly so I would get her to the vet quickly for treatment if she is not eating and vomiting.

Sorry to hear she is unwell, I hope she is feeling better soon.
