You and Your neighbors need to bleach everything. Inside and out. And everyone needs to stay/keep to themselves for at least 6 weeks after the last infected dog pulls thru or passes on. I am currently dealing with this and feel sorry for your neighbor. You need to protect your fur baby, unfortunately you have no way of knowing what is contaminated and need to bleach everything. If it rains you need to re bleach outside. The rain disrupts the under layer where the UV rays have not killed the virus. That is why Parvo is more common in rainy areas and during rainy seasons. There are three types of parvo with each having multiple strands. Even though we vaccinate it doesn't mean they can't get it. Two of the kinds are extremely deadly and cause heart failure almost immediately, but there is no way of knowing which strain the poor things have. Please take my advice and bleach your yard and home. Don't allow your neighbors over and don't go to their homes..
