my rott/lab puppy is fighting for his life as we speak. He just wasnt acting himself last night so we monitored him and today we decided to take him to the vet. He tested positive. We think he contracted it from the mother. we got him from a pet shop 5 days ago. And they said there were 8 pups in the litter. When we went to tell them we looked to see if they still had any pups left and there were 2 and they looked exactly like ours. Skinny and dehydrated. So im sure that all 8 pups were infected. He never had a chance to contract it from somewhere he was born with it. I feel all your pain who have gone through this.........
seven days ago i bought a puppy she was fine for four then as the next few days went by i started to notice her health slipping i took her into the vet and since im on this wb site you know what she had, i also could not afford the bills i was facing so i was forced to return the puppy to the pet store, where im sure they put her down. i also have another dog that is just short of two and isnt up to date on his shots. im told i cant give him the shots that he needs to prevent this diease because they will weakin his immune system and if he doesnt already have the infection will then have a greater chance of becoming infected. so i am forced to sit around and watch my dog most likely become infected with this deadly diease because i didnt keep him up to date. im am bleaching, washing, scrubbing, shampooing every inch of my house and praying for my dog all eles i can do is wait to see those horrible symptoms. also- all the pet store had to say is here is a gift certificate for another puppy come back and see us now!!!! i dont want another puppy! i want this diease out of my home
My daughter works for the Humane Society on week ends, has several animals two dogs and two cats, a puppy was in intensive care for a month with parvo a woman bought the puppy in because she couldnt afford the cost of treament-my daughter was in love with this puppy and had to take him home after making sure that her animals got along and he was healthy -does our new addition to our family always have a chance of having a weak immune system- he is a long haired Chihuahua10 months old
i realy don't care for this parvo. i had a puppy for 2mn. lost her to parvo. then found out my 7year old rot.got it and had to put down my baby. somebody needs to stop this i miss my dogs.
Can a dog that already had her shots get parvo?I HAD A $%&*$%& ZU AND SHE WAS MY BABY FROM THE DAY THAT I BROUGHT HER HOME AND SHE WAS FINE FOR AS LONG AS I HAD HER, IN THE SAME YARD AND ACREAGE. ONE DAY WHILE PLAYING IN THE YARD SHE WANDERED ACROSS THE ROAD BECAUSE SHE WAS AN INSIDE DOG AND WAS NOT USED TO THE ROADS AND OUTSIDE WORLD MUCH SHE WENT ACROSS OUT OF CURIOSITY AND GOT RAN OVER BY A MOTOR CYCLE. SAD HUH? A PERFECTLY HEALTHY DOG GONE TO WASTE BY A SIMPLE MISTAKE. SHE WAS VACCINATED AND I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS AND SHE WAS ALWAYS HAPPY AND HEALTHY. I THEN PERCHASED ANOTHER DOG OF THE SAME BREED TO EASE MY PAIN FOM THE LOSS OF THE FIRST ONE, BUT IT WASN'T THE SAME SO I DIDN'T PUT FORTH THE EFFORT TOWARDS THE SECOND ONE LIKE I DID FOR MY LITTLE GIRL. THE SECOND DOG CAME DOWN WITH THE VERY SAME SYMPTOMS THAT YOU ALL ARE DESCRIBING AND I AM 99% SURE THAT IT WAS PARVO. I DID NOT TAKE THE DOG TO THE VET RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I FIGURED THAT I HAD ENOUGH TIME SO I JUST MADE SURE THAT I MADE HER DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND MAY I JUST REMIND YOU THAT I HAD TO FORCE THE WATER DOWN WITH A SYRINGE AND MADE HER TAKE IN SOME CHICKEN BROTH FROM TIME TO TIME. I TOLD MYSELF THAT IF SHE MADE IT THROUGH THE WEEKEND THAT I WOULD TAKE HER ON IN BECAUSE I COULDNT AFFORD AN EMERGENCY DOCTOR BILL AFTER PAYING 500.00 DOLLARS FOR THE DOG. THE NIGHT BEFORE SHE PASSED, I GAVE HER A GOOD BATH,BLEW DRY HER HAIR AND FED HER AGAIN. SHE WAS FOLLOWING ME EVERYWHERE AT THIS TIME, SO I WAS THINKING SHE WAS FEELING BETTER BECAUSE SHE WAS MOVING AROUND MORE AND IT KIND OF EASED MY PAIN A LITTLE. SO SHE CURLED UP ON HER BED WHICH WAS RIGHT NEXT TO MINE ON THE FLOOR IN OUR ROOM AND WE WENT TO SLEEP FOR THE NIGHT AND SHE DID NOT MAKE TILL MORNING, SHE DIED IN HER SLEEP. TODAY AFTER HAVING MY THIRD DOG FOR ABOUT A YEAR WHICH HAD PROBABLY BEEN VACCINATED TIME AND TIME AGAIN UP UNTIL I GOT HER, JUST DIED FROM THE SAME SYMPTOMS BUT IN A MUCH MORE SUFFERING WAY. SO AFTER READING THE OTHER COMMENTS ONLINE I AM GOING TO ALWAYS VACCINATE AND KEEP THE DOG INSIDE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE UNTIL THEY ARE OF UNSUCCEPTABLE AGE ONLY AFTER BLEACHING MY ENTIRE YARD WHERE THE DOG ROAMS. AND PRAY THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN WATCH THIS HAPPEN ANOTHER TIME BUT YET AS A HUGE DOG LOVER CAN I BARE TO LIVE WITHOUT MY DOGS. SO YES BY ALL MEANS VACCINATE.
The vet told me i could bring my puppy home a week after the second set of shots which would be ten weeks old is this true?
Very informative. Thank you.
This is a terrible virus & costly. Bleach really does work inside & out. The best prevention is vaccination but does not always help as I had parvo with vaccinated pups & it is heartbreaking.
my 3 month old golden retriever was confined at the clinic 3 days ago for parvo...hes now showing signs of improvement..he still has a loose stool but no more blood...hes not vomitting anymore...he started eating small amount of food yesterday until this morning...the vet called me up to tell me that his blood temperature is normal...i visit him everyday and give him 2 capsules of transfer factor dissolved in water and administer it to him orally thru the use of a syringe (without the needle of course)...transfer factor was recommended to me by a friend...she got a golden retriever that got hepatitis and the vet told them that their dog wont last long...she gave her dog the transfer factor and her dog is very much alive and healthy for a month now....am still hoping for the best that he will be ok....i hope he could come home this week...its true...the parvo treatment is very very costly.....am just upset wtih his previous vet..coz ive seen blood in barney's stool a couple of weeks ago...and i asked him if he could perform a complete physical exam on barney but he refused telling me that the blood may be caused by a small wound on his anus...and its a stupid assumption....i changed vet last sunday when barney got worst and found out that he got parvo...good thing we were able to bring him to the vet before he got really dehydrated.....
Yes very informative. I have a question, how long before your puppy that has had parvo and is doing good can go around other puppies and grown dogs. If little children are around can they be affected if they play with your puppy? I would love to know,because I am afraid to spend all summer in my home and my puppy not having a social life, which is very important for them.My dog is 6Weeks with This illness and I've never seen someone so sad in my life.
