Theoretically, a puppy can become infected with parvovirus immediately after birth. However, provided the mother is properly vaccinated, the antibodies in her colostrum will protect the puppies until they are about to be weaned, approximately 8-12 weeks old. This is why most cases of parvo in puppies is seen in those just weaned and out exploring the world - they haven't completed the full series of puppy vaccines and maternal immunity is waning.

How do you despose of a dog with parvo?

First of all, have you taken your dog in to be checked out by a Veterinarian? If not, then you should. You can find out how much it will cost to treat your dog. If you do not have any money and cannot afford to treat your dog, then at least make an appointment with a Veterinarian to have your dog put to sleep. It is done with an I.V. injection and they just fall asleep peacefully & never wake up. Do NOT try to euthanize your dog at home, you could cause much pain & suffering. Next time be sure to vaccinate your dogs. Parvo is very contagious.
