I'm new joined to get info on parvo. My dogs all have been vaccinated but have been exposed by stray dog to parvo. Would it help if I took them in for another booster? It has been about 9months since they had one. Thanks so much.

It would depend on how much exposure they have actually had, how old are your dogs. If they are all over a year old they will probably be OK as long as they have been kept up to date on shots thus far but if they are under a year, you may want to keep an extra close eye on the. If they were exposed enough, the actual vaccination may actually help bring on the disease as the vaccination temporarily weakens the immune system. If they even act sick, throw up, very lethargic, runny stool dont hesitate to go to the vet. I would recomend Tamiflu treatment if they seem a little off in anyway. It is an antiviral medication that is known to stop parvo in its tracks and is especially helpful if caught early. Some vets do not know about it yet so you might ask.

I went threw this and it is heartbreaking. Take to vet now, so they can have a chance. DO not forget to mix clorox with water to kill parvo on ground and everywhere the pets are or it will affect pets and people. Do this several times. I wish you the best.

farmmom, what breed are your dogs? Pitties and Rottweilers are extremely susceptible, other dogs not as much. As was mentioned before, what was the exposure?If the stray was staying on your premises for any length of time, you will have parvo on the ground.
If I were you, I'd phone the vet, and get his opinion as soon as possible.

Imunique-ever notice how the people with the worst behaved dogs are the ones who give training advice? Now it's the one with the dying puppies who is giving medical advice. I will never understand people...
The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.

Diamondgirl...WTF? At 11:12 pm you posted your puppies are dying. Now you tell us you had parvo last year,and they are Pitties, at 11:24. So you obviously don't give a fiddler's f%$k about your dogs. People like you shouldn't be allowed to own dogs.They need fluids, if you can't be bothered to take them to the vet, give them pedialyte 3cc's by enema, and if you don't know how to do that ask a vet. They need sub-q fluids NOW and amoxicillin, and I don't suppose you have any lactated ringers laying around?
Do you know how to give sub-q fluids? Get off your behind, and look after those babies.

i know parvoviral infection is life treatening in dogs especially amonng young ones. Older dogs are more resistant in parvo. Usually once the signs of parvo is manifested which include vomiting, weakness, lethargy, inappent and last but no the least bloody stool w/ foul smelling odor and when dog immune system has been compramised, 2-3 days from the onset of this clinical signs ur dog may die. If have dog with dis signs hurry up brought them to the clinic to receive some medication. About vaccination if ur dogs receive thier respected vaccine or their booster and it is up to date, u dont have to worry. Also if thier 1 year old above they have less chances to acquire this viral infection..hope this will help. and by the way bleach/zonrox is the best disnfectant to kill the virus..hapi cleaning!hehe

I don't believe you have anything to worry about, your dog is probably safe, keep a close eye on her though. Usually parvo is devastasting/fatal to puppies-diamondgirl's new litter was too young to have parvo (rarely will puppies that young get parvo-unless mom is sick w/ it) puppies 4 weeks and older are in danger and I have found a product that work's so well that I have not lost 1 puppy to parvo since, it is TAMIFLU -for human "infant's", (liguid form) it must be prescribed by your vet (I have my vet prescribe it for me from walgreen's drug) you must start rx immed. after first sign's of parvo to have success ,and there is no benefit to start before there are clear sign's that your puppy has parvo, I think of it as the sleeping sickness, prior to the vomiting and dia;so look for all 3 of the above sign's,and then find the TAMIFLU, most vet's aren't even aware of this product and ALL BREEDER'S NEED TO BE INFORMED OF THIS MIRACLE PRODUCT.
