It is weird though, because they were so perky on Sunday, then Monday it changed. By Thursday they were helpless. I did all I could by giving them fluids and their antibiotics, but I still feel guilty. If the doctor only did a Parvo test...I even asked him if it could be Parvo and he said "no it's kennel cough"....boy was he wrong. I will never go there again. This is too much. I just went through this in December. It is very hard. I know that it is part of doing rescue, but it is so hard. Well, I just wanted to update everybody.
Okay- now having parvo twice- I would not bring in another puppy into the house for at least 6 months. Even then- they should be complete on their shots.
I know you are trying to help, but parvo can live in the environment for a long time. Even best case with bleach, there is still a risk..
