Default Parvo:(

One of my brother's puppy's has come down with the deadly virus parvo. SHe is a little mixed Breed Chi. He has anther pup too in the house> along with both the parents. I know the father of the pups has gone outdoors .
My Suzi/Yorkie is over a yr old and has been fully vaccinated . DO I need to be concerned with her becomming exposed? AND there is a good possibility that it may not even be Parvo! I just saw the two puppies yesterday, running around ,and they were behaving , normally, not sick at all> My brother said to me they have been ill for a couple of days now?
The puppies have not ever sen a vet or vaccinated at all! My brother is upset, and is giving one of the pups medication/I do not know what medication though, and i think it is probably an over the counter remedy. I do not know what symtoms the pups have to lead them to believe it is parvo, But do know that when a pup has it they are extremely ill. Bleeding from their anal area, vomiting, and lethargic. these pups are little>
They do not have money and chances are bad that if not treated by a vet , and it is Parvo, these babies will not survive> What about my Baby? Suzi has had ALL her vaccines , + she is over a YR, will she be OK?
My family comes over once a day... Not with the animals, however, I am aware that Parvo lives on Shoes> I could have them take their shoes off before coming inside, what else can I do to protect my Yorkie? To be on the safe ?
HELP!
