Franklin got parvo at around 4-5 months. We caught it extremely early and we were fortunate enough to have him survive. It took a week in the hospital with intensive IV treatment and antibiotics. I am so sorry that you had to lose your pup. I know that it's a frightening and upsetting experience. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I did so much research that I kind of feel like a parvo expert. |
I think that you are talking about the breeds that have known immune problems, Rotts, Dobermans but it also applies to bull dogs as well. I dont think its a color thing but certan breeds with this problem.
