Not Likely at all. Without knowing more, the dog may be having more intestinal issues like colitis or irritable bowel, a broad spectrum probiotic would help tremendously and I'm just guessing here without any other info.
Request a titre blood test at your vet to find out your dogs immunity level to Parvo and watch closely for symptoms.

It is not likely if your dog had the initial series of vaccinations when young then yearly boosters. But if you gave your own vaccinations, which is fine, unless the vaccinations were outdated or maybe were not kept cold, etc. Then the booster vaccinations may have not given your dog the immunity needed. If your Veterinarian always gave the vaccinations, then it would very unlikely your dog would get parvo. You should take your dog into to be checked out by your Veterinarian, they can do a parvo test right in the office. Also has your dog eaten any raw salmon or trout lately? Salmon poisoning has the same symptoms as Parvo so all the more reason to take your dog into be checked out by a Vet. You don't want to risk your dog's life.
my dog has no other symptoms of illness but shivers a lot what could be wrong with her? she is a 12 year old dog has with no health problems.
There are two types of Parvovirus, cardiac and intestinal. Younger dogs (that is under 2 months) may be more vulnerable to the cardiac parvovirus. However, a dog at any age may get or re-acquire the virus.It is therefore prudent that immediate hospital care is given to the dog if symptoms arise. Preventative measures include keeping dog access areas sanitary and giving the puppy/dog the required preventative care. Contrary to popular belief, a dog should not only receive a parvo injection at 6 weeks old. After the first injection, a dog should receive an injection every year. Also, parvo can be avoided!!!Kavita Bassarathkavitabassarath@yahoo.com
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).
Vomiting, not eating or drinking, lethargy, a black or tarry stool, with a strong scent of iron. If you suspect Parvo, it is very important that you get your dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible, and in the mean time do not expose any other dogs to the symptomatic animal, or the area.
Maybe a year. But unvaccinated, you will encounter Parvo everywhere. Vets office, pet store, other dogs, dog parks, even your backyard.Treatment for parvo at the vet with 50/50 odds can start at $1000-3000. It's better to get the $30 shot.
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.
Yes, in this instance the dog was most likely already infected with the parvo virus before you even got her.
There are many possible reasons. Firstly, make sure any change in your life pattern is not affecting the dog. It could be the dog's way of grabbing attention, if the dog is not happy with something, he/she wants you to take notice. Another reason could be the dog's dietary needs have changed, either you are feeding the dog too much or too little protein. Try rotating your dog's food. I am assuming your dog has no other health related issues.
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.
