chooky

That is fantastic thankyou!

We have been in our house for 13 years and we built, so there has been no previous cases of parvo. after hearing what alot have said we have decided to get an older dog in a month or so, probably between 6 and 18 months old that has been fully vacinated. We are going to get a dog from a shelter, save one in need. Thanks alot for advice.

Hi Cavandra, thankyou for the information it will be useful in the future. while we are not looking at getting another dog just yet we do want to get another one for my son. Would you know how long we need to wait after having a dog with parvo in our yard? The last thing we want is this to happen again, and I think my vet has misinformed us on only having to wait 2 weeks.

Hi I just lost my pup to parvo on christmas eve. She was due for her injection and I let it ride 1 week thinking she was safe in our backyard. We are in Melton in the western suburbs in Melb. Zoe had never been out of our backyard or near any other dogs, the vet said that birds can carry the disease or it can be carried on your shoes, I am not trying to scare you but please be careful as it is a truely horrible disease.

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help. We just lost our beautiful lab pup to parvo, she was due for her 2nd injection 1 week ago and i was waiting until xmas was over to re-vacinate on the misconception that she was safe as she never left our back yard. My 3 year old son is extremelly sad and misses her terribly. Our vet told us that we only needed to wait for a few weeks to get another pup and yet I have read in many websites that you need to wait for about 9 months??? Also we are thinking of mabe adopting a dog from the local pound that was alittle older, I believe that once a dog/pup has had it's 3 lots of injections it is fully covered from getting parvo. If anyone knows if I am either right or wrong about this can they please let me know.
