Do you mind sharing where you got your vaccinations, what brand and what vaccinations were given? I am just wondering if the vet could have misdiagnosed your puppy. Do you know what test the vet ran to determine parvo. I have heard there are other bacterial infections that puppies can get that are confused with parvo. Here is an a little information from the following website: Parvovirus In Dogs - Parvo In Your Dog



You never mentioned your puppy having diarrhea which I thought was one of the main symptoms of parvo. I know you are as confused as we are as to how your puppy contracted parvo. It sounds like you did everything to prevent it. Hopefully you will find some answers. We all continue to pray for your baby.

I'll probably get bashed for it, but we used vaccines from a local farming supply store. I know people who have gotten their vaccines there before and not had any problems.

As for the diarrhea, she didn't have any at all while we were home, but once we got to the clinic, she had just a little. And the vet has told me this weekend that she's mainly vomiting, with very little diarrhea. I'm not sure what test they ran, my statement just says "Parvovirus Test".

I'm wondering if it may have gotten onto our property from stray cats...we've noticed a couple around the last few weeks...as a matter of fact, when we came home last night, there was one sitting on the top rail of our front porch.

We are doing everything we can think of to "de-germ" the house...bleaching all hard floors, and we even spent the morning ripping out our living room and hallway carpet, because Kya had thrown up on it. It may sound extreme, but we are trying as hard as we can to ensure the safety and health of our other dogs.
