DogsAndTheMob Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I hope the council is completely transparent in providing information on how many dogs were symptomatic, how many dogs were titre-tested to check their immunity and how many were euthanised for convenience, cost-saving or “just in case”. Although I accept that difficult decisions sometimes need to be made, I find it difficult to believe that none of the 21 dogs had protection from previous vaccination. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 A Parvac on entry for all dogs may have saved some of the other dogs from this fate, depending on how long they'd been there before the sick dog arrived. Parvac vaccine costs around $20 per dose. T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 In the 1990's, when I worked at our local pound, twice we had parvo dogs come in. We did NOT put down any dogs bar the parvo ones. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US (Florida and California, anyway), you can buy it at the feed store. 10 years ago it was $5 per dose, and a lot cheaper if you bought in bulk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dog died from parvo and none of the other dogs got it. Fortunately that pound is no longer operating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pound was only manned for a short period morning and afternoon. Fortunately I had the number for the ranger and they were there quickly to remove the poor dog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
