If the dog has been vaccinated properly, then yes. If it has not had any vaccines as yet, then most likely not. If any questions/concerns contact your veterinarian and have your dog tested.
Several years ago, I developed joint aches and pains for several months following a parvo-virus infection. One of my children (a toddler at the time) had 5th's Disease and my doctor was astute enough to test me for parvo, which is the virus that causes this disease in children. I did feel better eventually, but it took at least 6-9 months I believe.
3 months after being treated!!
It is actually possible--see a vet if you suspect parvo ASAP.
PARVO
yes you should wait, though many vets aren't certain if vaccination after the puppy has had parvo will help. Once it has parvo once the antibodies in it are still present and working, its kind of like the chicken pox, though their are different strains of the disease. Talk to your vet before making any decisions
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.
no, horses can't get parvo, parvo is a disease that puppies get.
PARVO
you can feed them pedialite but the best thing you can do is keep them hospitalized. Also if you cant afford to have them hospitalized, there is a product that will help your dog fight against the parvo virus. My Girlfriends little Yorkie was sick with parvo so i called Amber Technology which is an all natural Nutraceutical company. These guys have a product that works on Parvo! my dog was up and running within three days his stools hardened, stopped vomiting, and had energy! so if you are looking for a product that prevents parvo contact Amber Technology.
They can get a form of feline Parvo called Panleukopenia Virus. It's alot like the dog's parvo virus but only cats can get it. we had an out break of it when we rescued a new litter of kittens, all of the kittens died because they were unvaccinated, we have 4 older cats who were vaccinated & they are just fine it didnt effect them. Its spread through sharing living area's & eating out of the same bowl, as well as drinking out of the same water dish as an infected cat. Areas infected with feline panleukopenia need to be disinfected with a bleach solution. There is also treatment available. Prevention through routine vaccination is extremely effective.
Usually not. Make sure it actually tested positive for Parvo. It is said they have immunity for at least 20 months, if not for life.
No, horses do not contract parvo.
