A few years ago, my Dad had a GSP with a litter about 4 weeks old. The gyp came down with Parvo and dad took her to the vet and about $600 later she looked like death warmed over, but she made it. The pups? Never missed a beat, grew off fat and sassy. .

The vet told Dad that if a stray dog comes across your place that is a carrier and marks a bush or leaves a pile, there it is.

I brought home an AB puppy July 3rd. July 4th she started acting sickly and that night I contacted the breeder. He said the other pups were acting sick as well and he called me the next day and said they had tested positive.

Now all I have learned about Parvo says the incubation is 7-10 days. I had Blade out for a few minutes and as far as I know he may have nosed this pup for a second. 3 days after that he gets sick and started passing blood. I have a set of 3 runs on a slab. Next to Blade was ZZ and Top, my 7 month old BMC pups. The 3rd day after Blade got sick, he was over it and he never really quit drinking or nibbling. By day 5 he was hitting the gate and barking at me.

3 days after Blade got sick, Top did too. A day later, ZZ was sick and on day 3 for Top and day 2 for ZZ, they died, and had never quit drinking some water.

Zach had just brought home a new Lab pup and it took 2 weeks for him  and he never really showed signs of being real sick until he died and we were treating him.

We have gone thru about a barrel of Clorox since then trying to keep it away from the Brittany and cur puppies. I think we have succeeded, but last week, they started getting sick and after talking with a friend that is very knowledgeable about dog diseases, it appears they have coronavirus.

We did loose 2 Britts and a cur , but all the rest seem to be on the mend with sickness varying from having to be hand fed to just loosing weight and not eating much. I am almost positive the cur pup got stepped on by Petra and that is why he died. But he was sick and weak.

The Britts, I dont know. They were eating, but just went in the night.
