PARVO

[Sneaky Creek Kennel]

I have a problem!!!
I have lived in the same place most if my life and raised puppies here since I was a kid back then I never took a dog to the vet or even gave shot for anything. I never had a dog with PARVO until a couple weeks ago she came down with it at 8 months old. I also have puppies that are 10 weeks old that have had Parvo shots ever two weeks since they were 4 weeks old and now two of them have this crap! Is there anyway to get rid of it? I gotta a litter coming up that I have more faith in than any pups I have ever raised and I don't need them gettin it. Any tricks ideas secrets yall may know ill try anything twice!
Thanks

Are you sure it's parvo and not coccidia? If it's coccidia you can give them albon or corid and will clear them up.

The 8 month old pup I took to the vet and he was pretty certain it was parvo the two pups the first one I just shot pedelite down him every half hour and that cleared him up but this one ain't looking to promising

[halfbreed]

  unless the vet actually tested the dog for parvo . what was the vet doing guessing . i would say that if you gave them pups three shots that you ain't got no parvo and i would at least do the cocci treatment and from now on run sulmet in the water for pups as a cocci preventative .

[T-Bob Parker]

^ agreed.

Still hit em with corrid in their water anyways. It won't hurt em
And can really only help.

Where do you get your vaccines?

whip worms  look alot like parvo!

[halfbreed]

  eh -two brutus  lol just went thru the whip thing with some pups . little bugger are hard to get sometimes .

I'd have your vet get a stool sample and run a fecal, as well as a snap test for Parvo, so you can get a SURE diagnosis and treat appropriately. Either way, bleach EVERYTHING. Keep sick animals seperate and keep a pan of bleach to step in when leaving that area. Also sanitize the hell out of your hands before touching anything else. As for the new litter coming, be sure to keep mom and future pups off the ground, and far away as you can from the sick ones.

my bet is that your pups might be getting the corona virus...almost the same as Parvo virus...the vaccines that are the 6 in 1 usually have all you need for disease prevention except for the corona and that is why it is 1/2 the price of the other vaccine that is exactly the same except it says plus corona...and because it has the corona vaccine in it it costs double and I do know that the TSC here in my area does not sell the right one...

I usually give 1 vaccine to an 8 or 9 week old pup and that is all he gets besides lots of wormings...if it is one I really favor I might give that pup 2 vaccines of the same 2 to 4 weeks apart...

I have never lost a pup to corona nor parvo since the 1980's...and it is because I use the right vaccine...but I learned the hard way...I went with the cheaper vaccine at first and it cost me some pups...

i only get shots from the vet. they are the 8-1 shots. if you like your pups this is cheap insurance. worms is the number one killer in pups i think and most people don't realize this.

[arrowbar]

the symptoms of parvo are the same for many other pathogens.... and you can worm your dogs regularly and still get the treatment resistant worms come up, there is a strain of parvo 150 something or another that hits harder than regular parvo and can hit full grown dogs with deadly consequences despite have immunity to standard parvo. Good luck

Parvo is carried by people on their clothes. Get a pair of paineter coveralls to wear out around your dogs and keep washing them in bleach. Make sure you don't carry the Parvo out to other people's dogs. I had a case of it and I bleached everything and I do mean everything. They say it is on the ground but if it is it can be killed with bleach because I have never had it again. I did kill all the grass but the Parvo was gone. You also may be picking up Parvo somewhere else and bringing it into your yard.

Does coccidia smell like Parvo? I have never dealt with coccidia. I know when I smelled the Parvo poop that smell was stuck in my brain. Is there anything that makes the poop smell like Parvo?

[buddylee]

Give the pregnant dog a booster shot and move her to a new pen preferably off the ground.

[halfbreed]

  to dub yes it will stink to high heaven . bloody runny bacteria laced stool .

 as halfbreed and mike said. make sure it aint coccidiosis. the symptoms are similar. the vet should have tested strickly for parvo to confirm or dispute any assumptions. if it were me, i would find a new that dont go off assumptions and guessing work, he got a MD in vet practices so he should have tested.

now you ask about getting rid of the virus. there are numerous chemicals that will kill the virus, from bleach to the expensive stuff the vets use to disinfect the offices. you can do as said before and bleach any and everywhere the dogs poo and pee, but the virus can not survive sunlight exposure, so if you have a pto driven tiller and a tractor, till your entire yard up, (SCREW THE GRASS IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF THE VIRUS) take an electric sprayer and spray everywhere you tilled, give a day or so of sun light and then till it again and spray it again.
the virus can be transmitted by fly, flea, misquito, birds, people traffic, and so forth from a near by infected area, it can also be brought in by heavy rains and flooding carrying contaminated debris onto the land. no land is safe and i was like you, never inauculated my dogs till i had 3 come down with it from a dog that was a carrier but didnt die. i saved 2 of the 3 and now i vaccinate regularly just as a safety meassure.

tilling up the ground and using a whole thing of bleach did the trick for me ... wiat a week or so before u put dog back in there . Mine had it and i jus did that and its been 2 years so far nothing else in that pin has gotten it . its had 3 litters of pups in it since

[Sneaky Creek Kennel]

Thanks for all y'all's help looks like I'm gonna need some BLEACH a Tiller and some lime!
 
I just built a whelping pen in my barn with a door to the outside I think I will do all the above then concrete over this crap!
Thanks again for all y'all's help
