chartpolski 20,396 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I remember when Parvo first reared it's ugly head around here; early 's it was... I had a collie x, a saluki x and a deer x in the kennel. Only the deer cross caught it, possibly 'cause she was only a few month old. The vet tried for three days to save her, to no avail. I scrubbed the kennels out with Jeye's Fluid and burnt all the bedding,the other dogs were ok. I thought this horrible disease had all but been erradicated now ? Cheers.

Hannah4181 260 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Lots of differing opinions on it, my vet who i know as a personal friend as well, has written papers on all sorts, very well respected in the vetinary world. His opinion on it is the decline in people vaccinating dogs, the disease was all but eradicated due to people vaccinating dogs. The increase in the disease now and the differing strains in his opinion is due to a lack of vaccination, an increase in the dog population. He knows i vaccinate my own dogs myself, so its not a case of using his opinion to sell his services. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hannah4181 260 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yes they can, but its much less likely and they are more likely to survive it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stiggy 6 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 how is it transmitted? is it dog to dog or could my dog pick it up from being somewhere an infected has been? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joel222 65 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 how is it transmitted? is it dog to dog or could my dog pick it up from being somewhere an infected has been? It's passed on through urine, vomit and shite. If a dog that has pavo urinates and your dog comes into contact with the urine, even just sniffing it, your dog could catch it.

tomburras 2,721 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 i was told once by a guy walking his dog that parvo can survive 5 years in a garden is this true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiff 36 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Parvo is cyclical, everyone does a good job vaccinating regularly, then the crazy "anti vaccination" nuts will crop up, scare the bejeezus out of a good number of people, so they stop vaccinating, give it a few years and then it is back more virulant than ever before. I have seen 2 massive outbreaks over the years, even had 2 rescues with it a few years apart, so unfortunately have some experience with Parvo. The virus will shed at different rates and strengths, and is unpredictable in nature. Its most common (and easiest) passed along manner is in shit, but as said earlier urine and saliva and even dog hair can carry the shed virus. This should have all been prefaced by saying that I have been very lucky over the years to have NEVER had a pup or dog with a reaction to a vaccine. I call the "anti-vaccination" people crazies, but most of them have seen bad vaccination reactions so their experiences have colored their opinion, just the same way that my positive experiences have colored mine. I would estimate that with my own dogs, pups and rescues over the past 20 years I have jabbed 1500 times, all sorts of breeds (most working and sporting types) so that is a pretty good number to go by. I have always vaccinated pups at 7, 10, 13 and 16 weeks, and again every year. I heard a statistic one time that in reality, one, possibly two jabs should do it, but there is such a high failure rate with vaccines for a number of reasons that the veterinarians recommend the 4 jabs just to make sure. I don't know if that is really true, but it is what I heard. For the $2 per jab, it is money well spent IMO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
