Bency, my first thought is No, but that is a good question for your vet. Is that dog still alive??

Parvo has a lot more symptoms than dehydration. The dog won't eat nor will he drink. He wouldn't be able to hold anything down. Parvo is the infection of the lining of the entire digestive track, from stomach to exit. The lining deteriates and then the toxins in the intestines migrate to the body and then the dog dies from those. I really don't think that you had parvo, at least I doubt that it killed the dog. Sounds like it may have had bad kidneys or something like that though.
