Here is a good article that explains how puppies who have had vaccinations can still get parvo. At 13 weeks, she was probably only about 50% protected.

No, she hasn't been to any salons or pet stores....the only place she could have gotten it was from our own yard. The vet sent home enough vaccinations to do the rest of the litter and Lilah and Vader. Hopefully this will keep any of the others from getting sick.
Thanks for all of your concern...we appreciate it!
