The puppies were with me because I have never had parvo at my home. I don't want to move them at this stage in case they are infected. It would just possibly contaminate another foster home . Piper was immunized by the vet. She's the only yorkie I have ever bought, the rest are all rescues. I ordered the virkon and it should be here monday. I'll also check the local feed stores so maybe I can get it sooner. Just didn't want a delay if I couldn't find it.
We think that she was exposed by a vet tech who placed 2 dogs with the rescue.. They had some shots
but were to young to be fully immunized. She has since admitted that they "might" have been exposed to parvo but she thought they would be okay. They both developed parvo and were PTS. We are now working on increasing our isolation time. We will never again accept any dogs from this person for rescue.
I have some beautiful sweet dogs ready for adoption but will now be keeping them for another 2 weeks to make sure they remain healthy. The last thing we want to do is adopt out sick dogs, dogs that can make this seeming parvo epidemic worse. |
