That's one of my pet peeves also... If Stacia had at least been given vaccinations early on as a pup (esp that all important 12-16 wk one) she would have most likely still have had some resisitance. I believe most vet schools have a 3 yr protocol in place for vaccinations with some exceptions. And isn't there some that believe vaccinations as a pup convey immunity for life (esp parvo)? She looked to be in pretty good condition overall, but, evidently her immune system was compromised. It's just so so sad to have this happen...
