  1. She's nine weeks old now and had her vac shot at 6 weeks of age. So I don't think it was caused by the vaccination itself. I don't know when she was wormed and what product they used. But I agree with you that nobody can be blamed for it. Freak accident despite all precautions. Update from this morning is that she's very bouncy and being force fed now. Hopefully she can keep some food down soon.
  2. We picked up a pup on Sunday lunchtime from a registered breeder. It was in good health and had two servings of the food the breeder was giving her at our place. It didn't come in contact with any other dogs and only stayed in our house and backyard. On Monday morning she didn't finish her food and then didn't touch any other food afterwards. She started vomiting first in the late afternoon and then had horribly smelling diarrhea during the night. We took her to the vet in the morning and a stool test revealed that it was parvo. She has now been in quarantine at the vet since Tuesday and is on medication and on an IV drip. The vomiting and diarrhea apparently has stopped last night and she appears very lively. Hopefully she'll pull through... The breeder has refunded the purchase price of the dog already but doesn't believe that the dog picked the virus up while it was under her care. I do believe that she is a good breeder and that she took every precaution to deliver a healthy dog and this was a freak incident. Most literature says that the incubation time of parvo is at least 3 days. I'm puzzled how this could have happened and I'm interested in your opinion about this?
