I'm so sorry your baby has parvo. I lost a pom puppy to the virus about 5 months ago. What I honestly had to do before I got another puppy was bleach EVERYTHING! several times. I used a bleach water solution and ran over the countertops, floors and other surfaces about 3 times a day for 3 weeks, with it, to kill it. If you do this make sure you test out a small spot on the counter to make sure it won't discolor it. I also had to bleach my carpets(thank goodness they were already white
), and any other places where the pom puppy had vomited or used the bathroom. Parvo virus can survive in cold and hot tempertures for 3-9 months. I also had to bleach the grass where he used the bathroom. Parvo virus cannot be killed by anything BUT bleach, solutions claiming to kill it won't.The good news is that, since your puppy has already had the virus, he's most likely immune to getting it again, but other unvaccinated puppies aren't. hope this helps, and I hope your little one is okay!!!!tucker and I send hugs!
