After the recent talk of Parvo on this site, I still didn't bother to rush my 8 month old dog out to get her a vaccine. Now, I think she has been exposed. Today, I went to talk to a neighbor and her daughter advised me that they had just had 2 of their puppies die of Parvo and that my dog shouldn't be walking through their yard. AUGH!
I picked her up and ran home. I went crazy and dipped her paws in a bleach and water mix. I went online and found that you can get it from fecal matter. I remembered that yesterday we were walking through the neighborhood and she stopped to smell some dog poop. When I realized it, I pulled her away. I don't know, but I think that, through these two incidents, she has been exposed. We went ahead and gave her the vaccine today. Will that help? What should I do? Thankfully our other dogs have been vaccinated.
