Vaccinated dog has parvo symptoms after another dog died. Help!

Hello, parvo is generally a disease of young unvaccinated dogs and older dogs whom are vaccinated very rarely contract the disease. You should clean his environment daily with a dilute bleach solution to reduce the contamination of parvo, especially where Bella used to sleep and places where she may have had diarrhea. Ideally, keep King away from those areas at least until you have cleaned them. If King does contract parvo, which again is highly unlikely, he is most likely to have a very mild form of it due to his vaccinations. Monitor him for any vomiting, diarrhea, or a decreased appetite and have him evaluated by your veterinarian if you do not any of these. Hope this helps and best of luck.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. If your other dogs are adults (over 2 years old) and current on their vaccinations, it is very unlikely that they would get parvo - this is almost always a disease of unvaccinated puppies. But, if you have other puppies or young dogs in the house, especially if they are not current on vaccines, then I would be concerned that they may catch it. The virus lives in the environment for years, so I would recommend cleaning everything that your puppy came into contact with using a diluted bleach solution.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. We can occasionally have dogs that may test negative for parvo earlier in the course of the disease, so it is possible if your dog was never vaccinated for parvo and was a young dog (we can see this disease in older dogs, but the majority are 2 years and under). Other possible causes could include hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (HGE), Addison's disease, severe GI parasitism, or toxin ingestion. If you want a more certain answer to what happened you could request that your vet have a necropsy performed on Red's remains.

Parvo is highly contagious and affected dogs are lethargic, cannot hold food or water, vomit and have bloody diarrhea and eventually die of dehydration and sepsis if not treated. If your dog has had a full course of vaccinations and is older than 2 years then there is little chance that she has been infected as well. You should disinfect the garage and everything your mom's dog came in contact with using a bleach solution or disinfectant and do not let your dog run around in the area where the sick dog was until after it is disinfected. Watch for signs of lethargy, refusal to eat and general illness and if your dog shows these signs take her to a vet right away.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bubbles. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian right away if she is showing signs of parvovirus infection. She will need to be examined and her stool tested for the virus. If she is negative, then vaccination can be discussed. It will depend on if her veterinarian finds her healthy enough to receive it. I hope this information helps!

Unfortunately, parvo is a serious medical condition and if you suspect one or both dogs had it, you need to seek veterinary care immediately. Parvo can stay in the environment for months, so making sure to keep your puppy separated and to thoroughly clean all environments she has come into contact with is best.

Hi. Im sorry for your loss. Apache's behavior is definitely concerning. If he isn't fully vaccinated by your veterinarian, then parvo is possible yes. Depressed over the loss to a degree is possible too. Unfortunately, without an exam, more history, maybe some diagnostics, it is impossible to say for sure. I'd get him in to be seen
