It sounds like Luna is going through quite a challenging time with her symptoms, especially considering the presence of roundworms and her recent exposure to a puppy with parvo. The combination of diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, and loss of appetite in a young puppy like Luna is definitely concerning and could indicate a serious health issue.

Roundworms are quite common in puppies and can indeed cause the symptoms you're observing. Fortunately, they are usually treatable with deworming medications that a veterinarian can provide. However, given Luna's exposure to a puppy with parvo, it's crucial to consider the risk of parvovirus. This is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease, particularly in unvaccinated puppies.

I strongly recommend that you take Luna to a veterinarian as soon as possible. They can perform the necessary tests to confirm the presence of roundworms and check for parvovirus. Early intervention is critical in these situations to ensure the best possible outcome for Luna.

In the meantime, try to keep her hydrated as best as you can, but please avoid giving her any over-the-counter medications without consulting a veterinarian. It's important to address these symptoms promptly to prevent further complications.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
