Let me start by saying I know all the lack of proof of true information on the previous owner leaves this dog more open to the chance of having parvo but anyway..
I got my puppy Ozzy two days ago now, from an owner on craigslist who was selling two puppies who were apparently caged outside in all weather, they convinced the owner they could give the dogs a better home so he surrendered the pups to the person i got them from. She admitted to me that they were in bad condition and covered in fleas and they have been putting flea medication on the puppies bodies and bathing them. When I picked him up he was just bathed and in the past two days I've only found 2 fleas walking around on him. Still using frontline. I have a vet appointment for Wednesday morning (two days from now) He seems in perfect health, eating all his food, trying to steal our food, pooping whole and dark with no signs of worms or blood, but just today his poop started becoming more watery I assumed its because he was probably on a different food before and this one isn't going through his system correctly. He drinks a lot of water and whenever he wants. Definitely still has full appetite and thirst, would never suspect a thing. Today the original owner texted me and said his sister (who he was always with until 2 nights ago so about 72+ hours ago now) has parvo and started pooping blood. She claimed she "just got it" which doesnt make sense to me but what do I know. She went on to say that puppy was treated more harshly and in way worse condition than the puppy I have as if that would make me feel better. I don't feel like waiting two more days to find out, do you think he has parvo?
I literally didnt notice til I just typed this question out that theres no way of anyone knowing til I go to the vet. Sorry just needed to type this out to someone. I also have two other dogs who are completely up to date on their shots.
Any feedback or opinions on anything would be awesome

Got my puppy from a puppy mill (I assume) who was selling 2 puppies. Owner confessed to me today that they put fleas on the puppies and treated them more harshly than the puppy I have (my owner). He's still fine but now his poop is
