I have an 8 week old puppy and he is starting to show signs of parvo. So today I ended up buying him the six and one with parvo shot in it. Will this make him sicker than what he already is or help him?

Have you had the pup to the vet? If not, please get him there ASAP as all of the parvo survivors I know have had immediate and thorough vet care and the parents followed vet home care to the letter.
This is a survivalable disease, but it requires a lot of vet care and intervention
Never give a sick or well pup anything like an immunization without asking the vet. It could be fatal. You never know what you are getting when you purchase things outside of the vet.

Puppies are generally not vaccinated when they are sick. It can make them sicker. Your puppy needs to get to a Vet right away. He has a good chance of survival if he does. And then you need to support him while he gets through this illness and recovers. Puppies whose owners follow Vet instructions to the letter have a good chance of survival.
I honestly don't think that it would make him sicker, but you would need to maybe contact a vet and get a free consultation regarding parvo treatment. Usually they will give you that kind of general information without a visit, but if not you may want to think of seeing a vet before giving it to him.
Ordinarily vaccinations are not given when people or animals are ill. I think you need to contact your vet and follow the advice you are given.
All dogs need to be vaccinated no matter what. I do this with all the puppies around here to protect them from parvo. It is a good idea to give your dog a shot or a vaccination, but you should know how much the dog weighs before doing this one. I would suggest that you visit a vet as soon as possible.
