And now as I read more and more I understand I would just be risking her lil health to. Just to absolutely clerify. Yoda can from a pet store which does their own yorkie breeding there. It reminds me of a sweatshop. This is where I have people confused, I should have been way more specific from the get go. Now, I have 1 sick pup, 1 pup on the way (that now I am not sure what I can do) plus a pup that this horrible place wants to give me for "my troubles".

That is what I had figured out when I went back to your older posts. Well except for the Yorkie Sweatshop. I would be very afraid to bring Princess Laya home any time soon. Parvo can be everywhere in your home, yard, bed anywhere that Yoda was it can still be there. It can live in your grass in the yard for months! This is why I was so worried about you bring home a little girl. Tell the Yorkie Sweatshop breeder thanks but no thanks. DO NOT take the free yorkie. If Yoda got Parvo from there the other puppies have also been exposed.

My suggestion would be to call your reputable breeder and explain how Yoda has Parvo. If she cares about her puppy she will be understanding. The puppy cannot be brought into your home safely without being fully vaccinated and then titers drawn to ensure that it will also not catch parvo.

What has your vet told you about disinfecting your home? I believe it is bleach and water mixture to EVERYTHING! INCLUDING the grass in your yard!!

I found this info:

How Is Parvo Virus Transmitted?

Dogs acquire infection with Parvo virus by ingesting (meaning to swallow) the infectious virus particles. The Parvo virus is one of the hardiest viruses known to science and this virus can live outside the body in a dormant yet infectious state for one to two years. Puppies do not have to be in direct contact with other dogs to catch Parvo since the virus can be spread by people's clothing, shoes, and other inanimate surfaces, and can even travel on the dust in the air. A dog (or puppy) who is shedding the Parvo virus can defecate (go to the bathroom) on a surface and then a susceptible puppy can come by and sniff or lick this surface over a year later and can still catch Parvo.

It also said that a new puppy cannot be brought into the home without being fully vaccinated and titered for the Parvo virus. This is VERY serious so PLEASE do not bring another puppy home. I really feel so bad for you that you are going through this but I also want you to understand how serious this really is for both Yoda and Princess Laya! Please call the breeder and explain what is going on in your home right now.
