very sick rottweiler please help

My puppy is nearly 2 month old..I gave her the 1st vaccination shot weeks ago and was preparing to give him the second this week..2 days ago he began showing symptoms like depression, diahrria which has now evolved into bloody diahrria , vomiting، he is walking hardly it looks like she is walking over nails.
I went to a vet and he said that wasnt parvo but a virus (dont remember the name) the vet said that the vaccination helped her but he has a 60% percent survival rate only and that ther is nothing he can do for her.. he gave him glucose for the severe weight loss and appetite and some antibiotic and antivomiting meds...is my puppy really going to die ? Is there anything I can do for her :(

So glad you went to another Vet.  This is one strong puppy.
Try cooking up some chicken and rice (no skin).  You can try adding a little calf liver or canned green tripe, which is good nutrition.  Some pet stores carry the canned tripe.  Give small meals every 3-4 hours or so
Good luck!!

sorry for the gender pronouns conflicts I was so nervous back then..anyways
Update : I went to another doctor who confirmed Parvovirus and he suspects also canines distemper,,the dog that my dog caught the infection from, is now dead and the reason my puppy is holding is because she's vaccinated..anyway she is now living on glucose and vitamin injections and the doctor says its up to her to survive or not. its been a week now and my dog is still holding ..the doctor thinks she will make it ...my question is. the doctor said try to make her eat.. how can I make her eat she didnt eat for over a week now and no matter how I tried she wont :(  if any one can help me id appreciate it :)

Without knowing the name of the virus affecting the puppy it's next to impossible to say what the possible outcome may be.  Did you get a computer printout receipt from your vet with a diagnosis on it?  If so, please post back with the name of the virus so that we can get you as much information as possible about it.

I am sorry read this. I assume your Vet tested for Parvo?there USA new virus, Circovirus. Did he say that?
Not sure what you are dealing with but would assume te pup should be at the Vet's for any chance of survival.

Hope others here will be of more hel.
