A puppy who has just receieved a parvo vaccine can touch the ground immediately, as long as they are not in direct contact with a canine who has the parvo virus. It is unlikely for a puppy to contact parvo immediately after vaccination.
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
. If you do take him/her for a walk, make sure you keep the puppy away from other dogs and other dogs feces, as they can carry the parvo virus.
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
It is actually possible--see a vet if you suspect parvo ASAP.
no
A puppy of ANY breed of dog that is suspected to have Parvovirus needs immediate vet care. Parvo can kill a puppy within hours.
Please contact a vet
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?
Yes, Parvo is highly contagious among dogs. It can be spread through direct contact with an infected dog or contaminated environment. Vaccination is the best way to prevent Parvo infection.
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.
The nephew must had got parvo from coming in contact with the puppy's feces.
