I have one litter of puppies in the master bath now, other 2 litters in seperate bedrooms. I could also put the puppies in the sunroom in seperate x pens. They would the be at the opposite end of the house but still isolated from the others.
We really think that the parvo came from 2 boxer mix puppies from another rescue. We've known the lady that brought them to us for years. Her mother runs another rescue, mainly cats. She didn't want to see the dogs put down so she ask us to take them. She'd had them for a little over a week and had given them their first shots (she's also a vet tech). She didn't tell us until another litter had parvo that they "may have been exposed". So far I know of 5 other puppies who've contracted parvo. We WILL NOT be dealing with her at all in the future. Her heart may of been in the right place but her negligence and outright stupididy caused 3 puppies to die, plus the origional boxer mix puppies. I don't know about the other 2 and am afraid to ask. That doesn't include the financial cost or long term effects . |
