charles This column is spending more time blaming the owner and saying that no matter what you do is a waste of time. Dogs live very healthy lives if they contract parvo and live! And with the proper treatment and if you catch it quick enough the chances of pulling through are high. Parvo is just something that happens yes owners should get their dogs vaccinated but sometimes dogs get it within a matter of a couple days which leaves the owner no time to even setup an appointment for vaccinations. So lets spend less time blaming and scaring someone that has a dog with parvo and start trying to help this person out. 5/17/2011

Sue Claud Has stopped eating his dog food, but drinks water, is not always interested in his milk bones that normally really excite him. He has started shaking like he is cold. When he came in today, for no known reason started yelping and acting scared of me. 1/17/2011

stephanie I am begining to wonder.. I just got home with my dog who has contracted parvo good thing we caught it early! maybe there is some hope for him he is just 7 months old. My problem here is that he is utd on all vaccines. and 2 years ago we put 2 dogs down because of distemper and they were also utd on all vaccines? why didnt they work 12/7/2010
Alysha Is there an age that makes it harder for the dog to get Parvo again? 9/1/2010
gloria Can a dog be infected by parvovirus because the dog next door had it ? they never got in contact,
Can a dog only transmit the parvovirus to other dog, without being sick himself?
My dog died of parvovirus but never had fever...could it had been other virus?
Thanks for your answer.

Jacinda I don't agree with the fact that the owners are at fault for the parvovirus killing many dogs. My puppy was vaccinated and she still passed away from the disease at 6 months old. If the puppy or dog is not vaccinated then the owner can be considered at fault but it is not easily avoided by far. I had asked my vet about my puppy getting it even after she had been vaccinated and she said that they can still be killed by the disease. No vaccine is 100%. 4/7/2010

Thank you.		 1/12/2010
michael shields I have cured a dog which was confirmed with the Parvo Virus by the vet in Milford,Letterkenny,County Donegal,Ireland. The same cure has cured T.B ,emphysema,Sarcoidosis,the cure is herbal and has been used by hundreds without any adverse reactions or allergic reactions. Ido not charge for the cure. 11/8/2009
John D i have found that force feeding your puppy left over cooking grease will help the puppy vomit up the infection in his body & have him eating & drinking again in no time. You should also give your dog a bleach bath one time making sure not to get it in his face. 7/11/2009
Dr Sophie As a professional the article is pretty accurate minus the fact Parvo cannot be spread through urine...it is only spread through contact with feces. 4/16/2009
Diane I should clarify my previous comment... there is a type of parvo that does affect the heart... not nearly as common Thanks 10/30/2008
Diane There is some incorrect information in the article. Parvo does not attack the heart muscle and the dog that recovers from Parvo is not compromised for the rest of its life and die an early death. Parvo attacks the intestinal tract, the bone marrow and the lymphatic
system. Dogs that recover usually suffer no long term effects and dogs that have had parvo are immune from getting it again.		 10/29/2008
betty i actually have a question, i bought my dog from a pet store, she is about 10 weeks now, but she was only like 7 or8 when we got her. She has parvo and as far as we know she hasnt been vaccinated for the virus. Shoud the pet store have vaccinated her for at least her first time before we got her with her Being 8 weeks? 10/18/2007
UNKNOWN THANK U SO MUCH BECAUSE ONE OF MY PUPPIES HAVE DIED LATE LAST NIGHT AND NOW THE OTHER PUPPY IS SHOWING THE SAME SYMPTOMS 10/13/2007
charles also 1oz. bleach to 30 oz. water is more than suffient to remove enough parvo to acceptable levels in your home 8/17/2007
charles I was told by many vets not just one when my dog had parvo that getting the virus and surviving the virus will make them immune to it . when dogs are vaccinated they are given the virus so how is it different form having the virus the body beating the virus by fighting it off and building up the immune system against it to injecting them with the vaccine which in turn has 10 times less parvo than the dog shedding it 8/17/2007
Dionne what to feed your dog when he has parvo? 5/11/2007
