-Nursing: maternal antibodies protect against "parvo," or Canine parvovirus type 2
-Avoiding the virus: Don't let your puppies near infected animals or the feces of infected animals. Use bleach to clean toys or surfaces that you think got infected.
-Vaccination: the vaccine against parvo is awesome and you should follow your vet's instructions because timing is very important. To early and it won't work, too late and you expose your puppy unnecessarily.

∙ 12y agoThe disease is highly contagious and is spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces. It can be especially severe in puppies that are not protected by maternal antibodies or vaccination. It has two distinct presentations, a cardiac and intestinal form. The common signs of the intestinal form are severe vomiting and dysentery. The cardiac form causes respiratory or cardiovascular failure in young puppies. Treatment often involves veterinary hospitalization. Vaccines can prevent this infection, but mortality can reach 91% in untreated cases. Canine parvovirus will not infect humans.[1]
