Title: Pup with parvo Post by: JLH on March 20, 2014, 09:33:44 pm Just got thru checking pups one has parvo. I hate when you spend money on shots and they still get it. I will build pup pen off ground this weekend. They want touch dirt until 4 or months old

Also, whenever you have pups that are very young and have just received their first vaccines, it's still a good idea to be extra careful with other factors, such as allowing visitors to the yard walk around their area, and pet them, etc. It may be friends coming over, but you never know where they walked through that could have possibly been contaminated, and next thing you know the virus is brought to your yard and you don't even know it. I'm not fully comfortable until they've at least had 2-3 of their vaccines. We also happen to keep a closed yard so we haven't ever had any issues thank goodness. We have had coccida pop up once though! We now add Sulmet in all the dogs' water pails. Darn free range fowl pooing everywhere. >:( Title: Re: Pup with parvo Post by: HairyHolder on March 21, 2014, 09:49:48 am In my last yard we had a deadly strain of parvo that would kill grown pups in 24 hours that had been vaccinated. Did a ton of research and found a company called NeoTech that makes a LIVE virus vaccine. Used them on three sets of pups in that yard and haven't had a parvo case again. Watch this video and you will see how weak the 5 and 7 way vaccines are.
