there is always a chance it can contract it again, however it is very uncommon, especially if they have survived it, that means their immune system has built up an immunity to the parvo virus. it is also very difficult for dogs over the age of 6 months to get parvo.

Yes, a pup can survive Parvo if they are treated right away.... A vet needs to give some anitbiotics and I.V. fluids right away.... If the dog is strong then, he can fight it off and live. It depends on how far gone the pup is by the time the VET steps into the picture. Many times pups do pass away because they just were too weak to be saved. Sorry, wish I could say they all survive..!

Yes a dog can die from Parvo. It attacks the intestinal system. It is a very vicious virus, that is why it is so important to vaccinate against this awful virus when they are puppies. If your dog has parvo, I strongly recommend that you have a Veterinarian take care of your dog, don't try to doctor your dog at home yourself or he or she could die.

Parvo is a deadly disease for pups, they have a higher risk of dying than surviving parvo...take it to the vet

Answer:Parvo causes severe dehydration, which is the actual cause of death. If a puppy with parvo can be kept hydrated by pushing fluids like Pedialyte while the illness runs its course (usually 2-3 days), it has a chance to recover fully.

Vet care for parvo can be prohibitively expensive for many people, because it literally calls for an around-the-clock vigil to make sure the puppy gets enough fluids to keep it alive until it regains the strength to drink on its own. Nursing a puppy through parvo is extremely demanding, which is why so few pups survive it.

If caught in time and with the proper medical treatment, it is possible for a dog to survive having parvo. My 14 year old lab contracted parvo as a puppy. Luckily, we caught it in time. It took a strict regimen of care and medication but she pulled through with no ill effects.

No, the parvovirus in dogs is a completely different form than the virus in humans.

It can, but the odds aren't good. Canine parvovirus is fatal about 80% of the time in puppies.

No. Parvo is a disease ONLY in dogs that attacks the cells in the GI tract. This disease is not zoonotic (humans cannot catch it) and neither can felines. Felines can get another form of parvo called panleukopenia unrelated to Parvo with similar symptoms. But dogs can't catch it from cats and vice versa.Source: Veterinary Technician at an emergency and specialty hospital.

My puppy hasn't ate anything in 24 hours but she drinks water an throws it back up because of worms been dewormed but want use the bathroom what cold be wrong?

The same thing was going on with my 4 month old puppy... We took her to the vet and it was Parvo. Within 7-10 days after coming in contact with Parvo a puppy will become ill. Parvo can be given to a puppy many ways. Even if a puppy has not come in contact with any other dogs. Parvo can be transmitted through human shoes if you walk on ground that has been contaminated. It can also come from birds the tires on your vehicle etc. Parvo lives in many different climates and temperatures and is very serious. I would recomend looking up several sights on Parvo to find more information... And good luck to your puppy
