Yes. A dog of that age can carry the virus without killing them because they're older their system can withstand the virus. Young puppies barely survive. If you can catch it in time your puppy might live with constant pain or may make a full recovery. It all depends on the time. Vaccinate your four year old to ensure no other pups will be in danger or other dogs won't carry this killing virus.

Is parvo virus carried in genetics?
No, parvo is not a genetic disease. It is a very hardy virus and can survive in the environment for long periods of time. It's recommended to wait at least a year before getting another puppy, and of course, maintaining annual vaccinations to prevent parvo.

Parvo sounds like what my 8 year old golden retriever has .she is very thin .eyes look bad and she lost a lot of weight do you think antiboitics would help her?
Parvo is a virus, and antibiotics don't help against viruses. But Parvo is more common among puppies, so it's more likely to be something else. Take her to a vet and stop guessing.
Can cats get parvo from other cats?
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.
Can a year and half dog get parvo?

What do you do for a 2 year old dog that has been exposed to parvo?

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 dog is a parvo survivor can she give birth?
Well as a survivor of Parvo I don't have to tell you what a mean nasty virus it is. And as bad as it was for your dog, imagine what it would do to an entire litter of week old puppies. That being said the answer relies alot on how you dealt with it and where your dog is. Parvo can live in the environment for up to 6 years. It doesn't matter how cold it gets or how hot and dry it's been... Parvo's one tough bugger. And oddly enough it's tougher to kill Parvo in your house than it is outside. If your dog was kenneled outside on a concrete slab that gets bleached weekly (like it should) and at least a year or two has passed (for the virus to runs it's course through the local wildlife) then you're probably safe. If you have moved since she's had Parvo... you're definitely safe. If your dog was kept inside and you still live there I would caution against breeding her. It's really all a judgment call you should be talking to your vet about and not somebody on the internet. The fact is now that she has survived Parvo it makes the antigens in her milk stronger and more resistant to the Parvovirus. Does that mean you can get away with not vaccinating? Heck NO!!! Check with your Vet and most likely they'll want to give a Parvo shot at 5 weeks before going into the normal 6, 9, 12, and 15 week round of shots. But for those first 5 weeks I would be sweating bullets if I were in your shoes.
Why do 10 year old dogs need corona booster?
It depends on if there has been an outbreak of Corona in your area. Check with your Veterinarian. Keep in mind that your dog is older now and his or her immune system is not at its finest. Be sure to booster your dog once a year for the standard stuff, DHLP/Parvo (Distemper, Hepatitis, Lepto, Parainfluenza & Parvo).
What is 7 in one shots for dogs called?
DHLP/Parvo vaccine. You can also get the vaccine with Corona added too. The vaccine is for Distemper, Hepatitis, Lepto, Parainfluenza & Parvo. A pup needs a series of vaccines (check with your Veterinarian) and thereafter, a booster once a year.
