 warning of new parvo strain
I have been reciving all sorts of emails about this new parvo strain and should of been passing it along here on YT I know of 4 breeders who are clean ethical breeder who have lost there babies two this new stain here is one email with info
One of our Sister Rescues, Critter Crossings has had a terrible outbreak of a particularly resistant strain of Parvo. In the last week it has killed 8 of her dogs and others are still fighting the virus. I not sure where the infected dog came from, but, she does get a lot of her dogs from SoCal and Tehama. This virus is even affecting dogs that have been current on their vaccinations for years.
Please, friends, be careful of the dogs you take in. This strain of Parvo is very nasty.
We've had this strain as well. It is so important to keep puppies segregated from all other dogs. Our outbreak was contained to our puppy pen and while we did lose almost an entire litter, no other dogs were affected.
That pen has been sterilized multiple times and we have had no more outbreaks
We now use Galaxy DA2PP rather than Fort Dodge as Fort Dodge, we've learned, doesn't protect against this new strain
From what I understand, the dogs that have died have been puppies and that the older dog in her home was given antibiotics and fluids as a precaution. Are there more dogs affected than those?
