Yes T i agree entirely there is no easy fix with this virus Davext

The OZ/NZ breeders are incorporated , and i was there when the vet done the Parvo test and the vet did tell me to treat all areas with bleach where the dog had been lucky it had not been out of the house / yard so was fairly easy , and had all the yard sprayed as well, difficult part now is following her around to treat areas she has pooped full time job Davext

Yeh, sounds like the person in Brisbane is a puppy agent..... Unless the breeder is the person in Brisbane and the bitch and/or puppies went over to NZ for "other" reasons.... just trying to piece it all together. Certainly hope the puppy has a full and speedy recovery :)

Yes that was my first thoughts , and emailed the breeder immediatly seemingly the other pups are ok Davext

Well, breeder is in Brisbane /but i gather also inNZ pups born in NZ then shipped over ,i assume they are in a partnership arrangement , as for whom is at fault weather it was during flights /transporting/INZ/or at breeders does not really matter, when an item (the pup ) is sold it should be not in need of repair /Your entitled remedy will depend on the issue and whether the problem can be classified as major or minor. Effectively, a major problem is when you wouldn’t have bought the pet if you had known the nature and extent of the problem prior to purchase; for example, an animal has a terminal or serious health issue. In this case, the consumer has the right to choose which remedy the seller will provide. This will either be to: – have the problem with your pet corrected for example, with veterinary treatment and/or medication; – return your pet to the seller and have it replaced with another one; or – return your pet to the seller and have your money refunded. so i feel the breeder was not negligent ,but should bear the responsibilty of the cost of making good the item (i dont like refering to my pup as an item but i am afraid thats how legal ppl will ) the breeder has since contacted me , and feels the vet i used may have misdiagnosed the symptoms so is checking with her vet , the treatment that was given to the pup Davext

Yes i also agree, but my point is that i received the dog with the Parvovirus,Davext

Yes was imported from NZ to Brisbane then spent 4/5 days at breeders , then flown to perth then on to Broome thats why i first thought the sympton were down toall the travellingDavext

The vet said the incubation period could take up to a week or more and as the more physical signs were now showing 12 hrs later (i picked pup from the airport at 6.30 PM ) the following morning she had Diarrhoea and only picked a little of her food, i can only assume she contracted it before i received her .i am! to say the least a little dissapointed the breeder has not replied to my emails since i informed them so as they could check in case any other dogs in their care were showing symptoms (as 6 pups had been imported from NZ in 2 cages ) i have been looking into where i go from here and it seems i may have some redress according to Consumer Affairs Davext

Hi as i said previously i sort of put it down to the flights and travelling ect, if i had had the pup for 3/4 months and she started symtoms i think it would have been more noticeable for me to pickup. oh how long did it take for your dog to get back to his normal self ? Davext

Hi well have not heard back from Breeder which was a little dissapointing , as up till now my 20 or so emails from the begining of booking the dog they were answered within hrs, so i had been waiting for some response Davext

Hi , well she is slowly starting to eat herself but very picky/ no diarrhoea, since she came back,and had lost a lot of weight , so i will feel better when she get s her appetite back,/ as for the worming am not sure ,there only is 1stamp in book (Vanguard Plus 5 )Davext

Hi yes jet pets were informed , and they tell me all crates are sterelised after use ,and was there crate/ pup was hospitalised for 7 days Davext

Hi T Pup was 9 weeks when i picked her up from airport, not from breeder, (Jet Pets handled the transport,) and she had all the rellevent vacinations 3weeks before i picked her up,i had put her symptoms down to the travelling / diarrhoea/not eating ect, as pups i found usually gorge themselves if allowed Davext

Hi yes,i did inform the breeder immediatly the vet informed me, the pup had contacted the virus i felt it was the right thing to do in case other dogs in ther care , contracted it,/ having paid 3500 00 dollars i for the pup and outlay for the vet i feel i have some redress re the breeder,Dave xt

Oh i did , and just paid 1400 00 vet bill for the treatment ,Dave xt

Hi ppl,am new here ,and wondering if anyone has had a pup with Parvovirus , if so what were the first signs you spotted thanks Davext Ps would the breeder be responsible for vet fees if symptoms showed 24 hrs after recieving pup
