Hi, Parvo can occur with any dog at any age. It is more common with puppies under 1 yr of age. Time is very important. Your vet can help with supportive fluids IV and Tamiflu. I'm sure you've read up on the symptoms. Other illnesses can have similar symptoms but you can't take a chance. It's your dogs life. A snap test will tell if it's Parvo. Most vets have them on hand and they are not too expensive. Please get your dog help asap.

If there are two dogs in one house and one has parvo can the other dog get parvo and infect the people that live in the same house?
It depends on your dogs age and if it's ever been vaccinated for Parvo. It needs to be vaccinated on a regular basis (1-3 years) depending on how often you take your dog to different places and how often your dog is around other dogs. As you may already know Parvo is a very serious disease with dogs and most of the time have a very slim chance of survival, even if they survive there has been known side-effect that can effect them for the rest of their life. Also it's been tested that the disease Parvo can live in the soil for up to 7 years! And of course dogs are always putting things in their mouth so it's very important to have your dog up to date with all of his/her shots. And.... talk to your vet! You should talk to him/her right after your dog came in contact with this other dog. Parvo can be spread by the dogs saliva, vomit, and feces. Good luck and I wish your dog and that the other one good luck.
