I lost my 3 month old puppy last month. We don't know the reason. He puked blood and died. I think it may have been parvo, now that I've researched so much about it. But the problem is it's been one month since he died and now we brought this other puppy home.
Safe guarding a pup from parvo.
Step 1
Disinfect everything with bleach right away.
Step 2
Make sure to have all shots for the pup.
Step 3
If your other dog used the back yard do not let him out there the parvo virus can live up to a year out there.
Step 4
Throw out collars,toys etc anything from the other pup.
Step 5
Good luck and sorry for the loss of your puppy.
We noticed my energetics, joyful 3 month old Frenchie not being herself . Not being playful and not wanting to eat her treats. We knew something was not right with her so I took her to the vet. They tested her for parvo and she came back positive. She stayed overnight ant the vet and they gave her fluids and medicine. I picked up the next day and she was still not doing well, but walking and happy to see us. The following day K gave her her medicines but she did not want to eat so I took her back to the vet. They gave me fluids to give her through an IV every 8 to 12 hours plus more medicine. She looked like she was miserable. But she was still was standing. It looked like she would rather be standing then laying down.
She had diarrhea and would puke up clear stuff.
That day that she passed away, which was like four days after testing positive, I gave her her medicines and fluids and even fed her some food through a syringe just a little bit. She was still walking. To me I felt like she was doing a little better than the day before . I went back to my home office and like 30-45 mins later my daughter screaming 'mom mom Khloe passed away!' I was in total shock and misbelief. I had just seen her up and walking. I feel like maybe she had like a heart attack. What could have happened? We are so heartbroken.
I had a 9 week old puppy that passed away from parvo. I want to get another one, and I read that you need to bleach everywhere including outside, except I buried my puppy in the backyard, will that become a problem?
If I get a 16 week old puppy that has received all its parvo shots, will it be safe?We got a puppy 1 year and 5 months ago, and it turned out it had parvo virus. She had gotten it whilst still with her mum. We only had her in our house and yard for two days before taking her to the vet, we had to get her put down unfortunately.
We are thinking about getting another puppy that will be 8 weeks old. After the ordeal with our previous pup we cleaned the house as well as we could and the backyard.
We are still not 100% sure about getting another puppy as it is a risk. Any suggestions or advice?
Thanks.

6 months ago I lost my 11 month old puppy Ace to this horrible virus. I was told that this is long enough and that if I get a new puppy they will be OK. Is this correct or not? My boy was American Staffy X Aussie Bulldog can anyone tell me what breeds are more susceptable?

2 weeks ago my Dachshund puppy died from parvo. I bleached my whole yard and now we have decided to buy a Labrador puppy that has been vaccinated. Is it right to buy the puppy?

I'm sorry for your loss. I got a puppy a few years back and she apparently had parvo before we got her. We adopted her from an animal shelter. Our vet advised us to get an adult dog with all vaccinations. Well we did and not a month and a half later she had seven puppies. I did not want her to go back to the animal shelter so we just prayed they would be fine and kept them inside until they were about a month old. They are all almost two years old now and they are quite fine.
When you get your new dog I would make sure the mother had all of her shots and was taken care of properly. A lot of people will tell you parvo lives forever in the dirt and all this but I honestly dont believe it. If your puppy that died was inside at all I suggest you you clean every place your puppy touched with vinegar (I didn't do a thing to my yard).
You can make homemade cleaning solutions with vinegar for your cloth items (couch) if need be. Obviously make sure they get their shots when theyre old enough. This is just speaking from experience. Good luck!
I had a puppy 8 months ago that ended up getting parvo and I am thinking about getting a new one soon. Do you think it's at a great risk of getting parvo as well?
I have a 9 year old Pit and a 3 year Mati-Shit Tzu. In January we rescued a puppy, but the puppy got parvo and died shortly after. We bleached the entire area and continue to bleach the area periodically.
Both our dogs have had boasters and show no sign of parvo. We are in the process of rescuing another puppy, 8 weeks old. He has gotten his first set of shots. Do we need to keep the dogs separated?I had a 5 week old German Shepherd puppy previously which I rescued that didn't have any shots or been de-wormed. It died on March 19th. Unfortunately, it was cured of parvo the week earlier but died due to other complications.
Is it alright for us to bring in a new German Shepherd that is 2 months old that has had its parvo vaccination and been de-wormed? We have cleaned inside and out our whole house, including the garden. Please I need your advice.
I had a male and female Rottweiler puppy and they died due to the parvo virus. I miss them, that's why I am thinking of getting a new puppy. After 2 weeks is it safe to get a new puppy?
My dog died about a month ago from parvo. I want to know how long I should wait to get a new puppy and how I could clean my yard, house, things, etc.

Unfortunately the virus lives in the ground and it last's for years. I am so sorry for you're loss but maybe you could get a young adult from the pound and save a life.
I too am sorry for your loss! I would suggest waiting a few more months maybe even a year before getting another dog friend. Also a adult dog from a shelter always makes a wonderful friend or at least get a puppy from a rescue group if you must have a puppy. Please check with your vet regarding when your area will be free from parvo. bleach is the only thing I know that kills parvo
Good luck with your future dog!
I recently fostered a puppy who had been treated for parvovirus just before I got her. I also have a Rottie of my own who is currently on steroids for mild wobblers and had surgery 6 months ago for a spinal cyst. Is my Rottie in any danger of contracting the virus? Is her immune system compromised due to the steroids? She was vaccinated over a year ago. Is my yard in need of sanitizing? If puppy's parvo was treated before coming to my home, is the yard stil a hazard?
By AV
Yes, the yard is still a hazard. I'm assuming your dog has been vaccinated for Parvo. If you were concerned at all about fostering a puppy that had been treated for Parvo, I have to wonder at your reasoning for doing that. Or maybe this is just hindsight.
A puppy that has been treated for Parvo can carry it in its body for some time after, and the feces is contaminated. Only dogs that are fully vaccinated should be in your house or yard.
I had a puppy that died of parvo. He was only in the house for 5 days, but long enough to spread it around. My 8 year old son is devastated, but really wants a new dog still although I am so scared to get a new pup and have it catch it.
How young of a puppy can I get? Should the new pup have all of his vaccines or is 2 good enough?Is it safe for us to get a new pet in a new home after moving from an apartment where a dog just died from parvo?
