We got a puppy pad out and she threw up on that. Later, she kept moving around on me, so I put her on the puppy pad again and she pooped and peed. We got that up right away, and at the time we just washed our hands (we didn't know she had parvo yet). Then we went to bed. It was in the middle of the night that I realized it wasn't just an upset tummy from getting shots, it was most likely parvo. She was sleeping in a little carrier that I put up on the dresser by my bed (because I wanted her to be able to see me). We've thrown that carrier away, plus the sheet that I had inside of it to make it softer. My daughter held her as I got dressed to take Lola to the vet, and she held her again in the car.

And of course, Lola never got to come back home with us. Really, that's all that she came into contact with. We've thrown everything away, or bleached it (like our clothes, I didn't want to throw those away.) We have other dogs here and they're fine, I really don't think there's any parvo left in this house. She was so sick, didn't move on her own, and only got placed where we put her (which was mainly on my chest because I knew she felt bad)

But thank you for your feedback! I do believe our house is parvo-free, though, and I will speak to the vet before I bring her home.

Sounds like you were on top of things with her and where she was. I would double bleach though. And ask the vet. I'm sure you are very excited to get a puppy! Blessing to you and your new puppy.
