but the only thing that sucks is money... these puppies were actually given to us for free cause my nephew's mom didn't want them at her house. And he was going to jail at that time. so it pretty much put a hand full on us. and we barely have money to make it...

I will keep my eyes open for any hints. They are eating fine, drinking and playfull, boy the sleep too much! but they will manage through. We kep them busy at all times. Since Haylee Hunny has joined our Famliy shes been keepin them busy.

Well sorry if this sounds rude,, but you shouldnt have taken those puppies if you cant obviously afford them... perhaps you should start looking for new homes for them after you find out if they are Parvo free?

Parvo has a 10 day incubation period so if this just happened you are not out of the woods yet.Even if you get them a shot today, they won't build an immunity to it that fast. Good luck with that.

It may sound a little rude, yes. But if i didn't accept it, then everyone would say "oh you didn't accept it, that means they die or gets killed" mean stuff like that. And 2 of them are already sold, so Im still getting monthly rent from that. And the mommy owner will be paying for their shots and not me. I am paying for Moo-Moo, Bailey and Hunny Bear's shot tmw if I get my first paycheck today. which I hope.

Everything is cleaned with bleach. I dont feed Anya since J5's mom doesn't NOT want me to be responsible for her cause she doesn't trust me in some ways. j5 always goes to wash his hands no matter what. the puppie's bed is in the kitchen and its cleaned out with bleach every day. They have little sponge baths every 4 days.

They go for walks with me at the park every 2 days.. If im not busy with work.

Another very dangerous situation. Parvo is EXTREMELY contagious. If you go to the park where other dogs have been, the pups may very well get it. Parvo is so contagious that you can drive somewhere an infected dog has been and carry the virus on your car tires. A pup should not be let out until it is atleast 4 months old (vets recommend 5 months).

Unfortunatly, the virus will remain in the area it now is in for atleast 6 months, alot of times the virus will remain for years. It can not be washed away with disinfectant. Clorox bleach is the best, but there is no guarantee. Which means that it is still in your yard, on your clothes, your shoes, etc, and will remain there for months or possibly years. If you drove Anastasia to the vet in your car, it is in your car. I would not be surprised if the puppies have it. You need to start a plan right away to make sure that the puppies recover. If they areinfected, they only have a 50-50 chance for survival, so a plan is best. The symptoms will not show for 7-10 days after they come in contact, so hopefully there is time. If I were you, I would get the puppies to another home fast, incase they haven't been infected.

Here is a website about parvo... http://www.animalclinic.com/parvo.htm

Unlike most other viruses, CPV is stable in the environment and is resistant to the effects of heat, detergents, and alcohol.

Due to its stability, the virus is easily transmitted via the hair or feet of infected dogs, contaminated shoes, clothes, and other objects. Direct contact between dogs is not required to spread the virus.

Dogs that become infected with the virus and show clinical signs will usually become ill within 7-10 days of the initial infection.

Young puppies less than five months of age are often the most severely affected and the most difficult to treat.

The best method of protecting your dog against CPV infection is proper vaccination.

As it says, pups under 5 months are the most difficult to treat. If you don't have enough money to care for these pups, find someone else to take them, because the treatment for three pups can take you into the thousands of dollars. Parvo virus can not be killed once the dog has it, so it's important that the pups are placed in a safer environment.

Thank you for all those links and information, but the pups are not going anywhere. I have 2 of them sold, and I can't let the buyers down. They should hopefully get their shots tmw. I have the buyers helping me get the shots. So all I can do is wait.

It feels like everyone here wants me to get rid of them. So it kinda hurts a little. And confusing too.

If the puppies arent allowed to go outside till they are 4 months old, then they would be late using the bathroom and being house broken. Cause thats what happened to Anya. She was VERY late in house broken. The orginal owner kept the mom and the pups in the house in a small closet. EW its gross. Anya was 10 weeks old and we tried and tried. But the way she was raised, she just poop in the guest room, living room (thank god not Tazsie's room)

So we kept her outside. Since we knew it was best. So Im assuming that the puppies mom, Sheba (not anya's mom) had parvo-yes she was treated, possible carried for it. So I dont know.

Let just wait and see what happens, if they survive and they are safe in the house, then let it be. If they get it, and we tried. Thats our loss-again. So all I can say and do is to have faith.

Why don't the buyers have their pups now? Are they waiting until they are a certain age?
I hate to say it but Anya caught Parvo from where she was living or another dog. She wouldn't have carried it for 5 months. She would have been dead a long time ago.
There is a chance that the pups will be ok , but you have to know , they are very supceptible to it right now. And if they get it, what about their future owners?
I sure hope for the best with those cute puppies.

WOW! :eek:

I cannot believe you are keeping the puppies in an unsafe situation like this. Why wasn't Anya vaccinated in the first place? How long did you try to housebreak her? Sometimes it can take a few months. You don't just throw them outside. :rolleyes: It's obvious you cannot care for these puppies so please do the right thing and find them a better home, and if they are sold please make sure to let the new owners know that they were exposed to the parvo virus.

It sucks that she was only 5 months old, if she was a live now, she would have her first litter. But she didn't. She passed away so soon that it broke our hearts even more.

---

She was already pregnant at 5 months old? :confused:

Also, you said you didn't have money to take her to the vet, so how are you certain she did in fact have parvo without testing and being seen by a vet?

The link won't work for me.

Odd. :confused:

OK first, let me clear something up for ya'll ok?
I kept them safe. Which would u rather have me do? Have the puppies be killed in a dog pound? Or have them live with me? I did because I loved them and 2 of them were sold and maybe this will clear up something about the buyers waitin, They live out of state, where? California. And If I wanted to send them out there, it cost 30 bucks for Health Certificate then add the air fare, how much is that? plus other transportation. My friends whom are the buyers will find a way. 1 of the puppies will be going in may, and my best friend is moving here so her puppy stays here.

I was told that Anya HAD her shots. BUT is that proven? NO. This dog that my husband had was not mine. I did what ever I could to care for it. Anya was NOT my idea. Johnny's mother felt so bad for her son that she decided to get him a dog. We had a lab that disappeard 10 months ago. this is Johnny's dog that died. I have nothing to do with it because his MOM does not want me too. I didn't care what mom said, I did the best I could.

Why are all of you barking up my tree like I dont know nothing.

I got the shots happy now?

How am I certain that she had parvo? Because I used to work at a vet office. I went to classes for it. I got kicked out because I was deaf and I was "supposely" doing my work wrong. I do research here and there. And I have friends that have dogs here in town so they would tell me. MOST say that dogs can pass. But I didn't think they would. So its hard to believe. So obviously Anya didnt. AFTER i was told that she DID had her vaccinations. But no. I was lucky enough to have the buyers pay for the shots for their puppies. And Im gettin my first pay check tmw so I can get my own.

And no Anya was NOT pregnant. Visualize this: A puppy... not sick, you love it so much, and boom out of the blues she gets sick w/ parvo or any other deadly viruses/disease. And she's what? 5 months old, shes never experienced having puppies, you wont experince the excitment that you want, the yelling of "Oh my god! she has 4 oh no another one! theres more! its boy! its a girl! aww shes so cute, shes colorful" you know what I mean? You wont experince that is your first litter from your own dog? *EXCLUDING other member's famliy dog or relatives* You know what I mean?

Do you understand that now?

And stop barking up my tree. OK? Im doing EVERY way I can. You guys are not here to see it. I see it in my own eyes. I am trying. IF I see another thread like this, I will do the same thing back. Would that hurt your feelings? yea? But is it going to confince you to get rid of them or to try to save them? Money is silly. Its greedy, everything has a price to be paid.

So let me do my own thing ok?

They will get their shots TOMORROW. I got the money, I know how to do it and where to get it. So dont hassel me on trying to get rid of them.

be nice ya'll I haven't done anything wrong. I did my part, I tried. Im doing something to stop it from getting worse. Isn't this not good enough for ya'll? Are we going to have a cat fight on here? I hope not.

The shots will not help if the puppies already have the disease.

Parvo can't be determined unless the dog had tests done. Even with tests done, sometimes you'll get a false negative. It's not easy to detect just by looking at it, even though death is one big tip-off. If you worked in a vet's office you should know this. It could have bee a myriad of other conditions.

No, I don't know what you mean...You wanted to breed your mutt? She wasn't even house-trained is was probably unstable from her former abusive situation...I don't know what you mean because I am not a backyard breeder...and would NEVER want to be! :eek:

I thought you just said they got them? :confused: I'm so confused..

By the way..without a full vet check, and assurance of their health...they won't be able to board the plane..
