My Piper was fully immunized and still contracted parvo at 5 months of age. She spent 13 days at the vets. He tried medication that he had used before on parvo but managed to keep her alive and she is doing great. She just turned 1 year in august. Since there were concerns about her immune system we did titers on her and luckily they were ok. We also did titers on my other dogs. My older yorkies are just turned 6 and 7. They weigh 2.5 and 3 pounds so I had been giving them their shots every other year. With so many people choosing not to immunize their dogs titers are a good option. They cost a little more but beat paying the vet bills for a dog with parvo and definitely beat losing you baby. |
