| How to disinfect properly after parvo???? BLEACH BLEACH BLEACH... I have gone over the entire house with bleach and water, tossed out all bones, toys, bedding, purses, crates, collars, etc. Went over the rugs with bleach and in addition to that I am having a carpet cleaner come in and do a bleach and water cleanse... (fortunatly my carpets are white). I have washed my comforter and other bedding that parvo may have come in contact with bleach. My concern is, what if I missed a tiny spot somewhere... I have read that it is not Airborn, but I have also read that it can come in on your clothes and hands, etc. That handling a dog with parvo wheather or not you came in contact with feases, can pass it on. I pretty much had a puppy with Parvo at my home for about 4 days... although I miss him terribly, I would like to get a new puppy fairly soon. (Not from the same breeder.) Any ideas? Also, I live in the LA area and if anyone can recommend a respectuful/professional breeder, I am open. |

| I thought i read somewhere that you should waiit 6 months after having a parvo puppy to bring in a new one. You might want to ask your vet. It can be on your shoes and everywhere else

| Parvo can live for many months in spite of disinfecting. You can't be sure and kill everything. After my puppy died, I was told by the vet to bleach and disinfect what I could, but to wait at least six months before bringing another puppy in. We waited a little over the 6 month period before bringing in our new baby. He was healthy and fine. |
