we recently bought a beagle and hes about 3 months old. we regularly get him his shots every 2 or 3 weeks and hes had i think his 3rd parvo shots already. recently we have been smelling this very strong smell. it kind of smells like a metal/bloody/chemical smell coming out of him. he has a lot of energy still and eats very well. he was throwing up a lot a few weeks ago but not anymore. any ideas if this could be parvo?

To rule out parvo you can get him tested at your local vet, the possibility of get a false negative are very low so keep an eye of his activity, energy, and if any vomiting/ diarrhea starts- especially if there is any signs of blood. I hope i helped, thank you for the question.
