Parvo Symptoms and Cause?

My dog was vomiting but no diarrhea yet. Since he looked really sick I took him to the vet and the vet tested him for parvo which came out positive yet no more vomiting and he only had diarrhea one time only and nothing after that. I gave hime lemon juice and Pepto Bismal and after the third day he started to eat on his own with no vomiting. He is up and running, but he still looks a bit sick.

I don't know if it was the treatment the vet is giving him since I was taking him twice a day for parvo treatment, but now I am not sure if it's parvo or not. Is there any chance that the test for parvo be wrong and it maybe something else, maybe something he ate that could have made him sick? Does anyone know if this sounds like parvo?

I'm not sure about how recent this was posted because I am not seeing any dates listed. I am sorry if this is an Old Post.
My question is was the dog vaccinated recently? If a puppy is vaccinated 4 to 8 days prior to a parvo test, the test can show a false positive. It's rare but possible. There are certain tests that the vets use now that are not supposed to have a false positive.
