I'd get him to a vet. White gums are not a good sign, they should be nice and pink.

Just to add, I'm no expert but I think white gums often indicate anemia.

I can only echo what everyone else has said, take him to the vet asap. White gums as already stated can be a sign of anaemia, which would also cause him to feel lethargic. Hhis gums should also feel moist, not dry or tacky in any way.

Well there is a major major problem, My white pom(boss) has been diagnosed with the parovirus, there has been a huge outbreak in the city this past month, shelters closing and the whole works.

Now my dog has it, and my house is filled with dogs. the part that scares me is we have two(2)females which just had pups 4weks ago. the vet said if the pups get it before they are 6weeks of age they have no chance of survival, one litter has been ekpt downstairs with me and the other litter upstairs, my sick boss has been puking everywhere. we have carpet downstairs so bleach cleaning is out, i sprayed the carpets and floors with lysol.

Any suggestions on what too do?

the vet said he is surprised my dog has survived this long with the virus, my dog is now at the vet and on a iv.......

Can you get any cleaner from the vets to reduce the risk to the rest?
Or possible take the pups to some one who has no dogs?
Family member maybe, if i was you i would try and get some where safe for the pups.
