A:I agree, it very shocking!!! I have one question though: what are my dogs chances of getting Parvo? She has all her shots, but she is regularly around other puppies - I don't know if their owners keep them UTD. She's 9 mos. I have heard that there is a slim possibility that she could still be affected. I don't know if I should believe that or not.
A:If your animals are up to date on their shots they will be fine. I have never had an animal that has had it before now. But, all my animals have always had their shots and stuff. But, this new puppy the reason he has it is becuase I found him on the street and I guess he has never had any. It is scary and believe me you do not ever want your pet to have to go through it. :(
A:Yeah, you're right princess, I don't think I ever want to see it!!! I also have read that your puppies should have the 3 shots (from 6wks to 20 wks) and then maybe 1 or 2 more until they are at least 1 yr. I haven't given Briggs any since her 16 - 20wks. I always thought that Parvo was difficult to contract, but since joining this board, I'm not so sure anymore. :(
