Bandit is not the one sick it's my mothers dog. An unfortunately he didn't make it. I am just worried about bringing Bandit in the house that he will catch it. My moms room is right next to mine and they walk right in front of my room along as through out the whole house. I am worried that Bandit will catch it. Right now she has her other dogs out in the hall in front of our rooms, and they were exposed directly to it. As soon as I found out her dog was sick I placed Bandit outdoors so he wasn't directly in the area the illness was. Yet I don't know how long the puppy was carrying the illness or how he even got it because my moms dogs are very small and she doesn't take them outdoors very often. She took her dog two days ago to walmart with her and someone complemented her on him and patted him for a second we are wondering if that is how he got the illness. In the mean time I am worried about Bandit catching it. I feel horrible that my moms dog caught parvo but I have no control over her choices she makes for her dogs. I however do have a choice with Bandit and am trying to keep him safe. But it is so unfair to have him outdoors in the cold, I feel terrible because he is a indoor dog. But I know that parvo is extremely contagious and that chances are slim for survival. What I am not sure about is how to properly care for Bandit to keep him as safe as possible from catching this illness. I am doing the best thing I know to do right now which is keep him as far away from the infected area, and that's outside being that parvo is air born as well.At Bandit's age, if he's been vaccinated for parvo, it's very unlikely that it's parvo. Any dog with repeated vomiting and bloody diarrhea is a very sick dog and needs an emergency trip to the vet, not night outside.
First, as everyone has said, Bandit has had his vaccinations and is old enough to be protected from parvo.Bandit is not the one sick it's my mothers dog. An unfortunately he didn't make it.

Bandit still just a baby himself though. He's only 9 month old, so I still am worried he will get it. He has been vaccinated for parvo he's had all 3 of his puppy shots though.:thumbup:It is EXTREMELY rare for an older, healthy dog to get parvo. I would be much more worried about any other young dogs in the house.
Unfortunately, that is NOT true. They can still get it pretty much up till they are about 18 months old. Vaccinated or not. A friend of ours lost his very healthy (and already vaccinated agaisnt Parvo) 7 months old puppy to Parvo for walking him at the vet clinic in the front yard where all the sick dogs go to the bathroom. :nono:If your dog is vaccinated against parvo, you should be fine.
Yeah my dog goes car to door to car at vets, no bush or grass stopping at all. In addition, there are instances where vaccines do not take for one dog as well as another, due to lot of vaccine or the dogs general immune response to it.Unfortunately, that is NOT true.

If your mom has adult dogs and they have come in contact with the sick puppy they can be carriers of Parvo even though it won't affect them. I would bleach the areas where the sick puppy was as as best as you can and keep him away from the other dogs for at least 2 to 3 weeks.
Quite a few die from parvo? I take it she does nothing t care for their health, including vaccines. That makes her dogs a walking time bomb for any other dogs, including you taking their diseases out on your shoes to other places, homes, etc to possibly infect other peoples dogs....She never took her dog to the vet. But she's had quiet a few dogs in the past 25 years die from parvo to know it's parvo. I did bring Bandit in the house yesterday. He looked so sad, so I spent the whole day bleaching and I did my room extremely well. I washed everything I could think of he would come in contact with his dog bed, bowls, my floors, his kennel, and so on. I now have him in my room with me. He is use to free roaming the house but where my mom still has her dogs roaming the house and they came in direct contact with it I want to keep him at a distance. I spend a good part of my day in my room any ways and its big enough for him to enjoy life and not be confined to a small space. Plus he is back in the heat! So far so good. I am still watching him like a hawk and making sure to give him his vitamins.
