Parvo is caught by inhaling, eating, bacteria from poo. You should give all puppies their full set of vaccinations, parvo is really dangerous and unless you want your puppy to die you should give it its vaccinations

Diarrhea comes and dog will stop eating my friends puppy died from parvo. I don't want mine to, I'm worried sick! I have no idea if after a puppy gets parvo shots, it can still get parvo.

Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious disease, which is spread from dog to dog from contact with infected feces. This doesn't just mean just out on a walk, if you have feces on your shoe, then your unvaccinated pup still stands a chance of picking it up. It is also not a good idea to let a puppy chew your shoes. Speak to your veterinarian about parvovirus, they will give you the valuable information on when to get your puppy vaccinated.

Can dogs get parvo from cats?

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

How old is your puppy? If you have not given your puppy his puppy shots....it could be Parvo. Parvo will kill if it is not treated. You need to get your puppy to the vet for blood test. my puppy is 6 months old- she has gotten all of her shots. that's why im concerned. i just got back from the vet- but he said he wasnt sure what was going on. they ran some blood and urine tests so im waiting for the results. how is parvo found?
