How do canines acquire Parvovirus?

I have had two dogs contract parvovirus, and only one of them survived. It is a very difficult thing to watch, and I hope that you never go through it! It was so saddening seeing my puppy hooked up to IV fluids and fighting for its life.

There is no real treatment or cure for parvo; they just try to replace fluids that are lost when the dogs are vomiting and having diarrhea. Here’s some good info on how Parvo is spread: “Parvovirus is spread through contact with feces containing the virus. The virus is known to survive on inanimate objects - such as clothing, food pans, and cage floors - for 5 months and longer in the right conditions.

Insects and rodents may also serve as vectors playing an important role in the transmission of the disease. ” You can’t vaccinate regardless of age… the puppies have to be at least 6-8 weeks old. Younger than that and their little bodies can’t handle a bunch of shots.

They will give the shot every six weeks after that until the dog is about 5 months old. Then my vet said you get a booster shot like six months after that, and a repeat every three years (like with a cats rabies vaccine). ~Quoted text from: peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+2102&ai....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
