Not sure, but it doesn't smell like bleach) from the vet, and I've been cleaning everything with it, even areas Hazel had never gone into.
Hazel was so sick, so fast, that she never had a chance to run around my house or go outside. I literally set her down on a pee pad twice, and the rest of the time she was in my arms or laying on my bed. I've tossed out my sheets because I'm not sure I should put the parvocide in my washing machine. I wish I could use it as a body wash, because every time I snuggle with Mousse I imagine all of these parvo germs leaping off my skin and onto Mousse's fur.  I wonder if it's possible to get ptsd from this. I keep having nightmares at night and anxiety during the day. |
I feel so sad about what you are going through, and I don't want to add to your nightmares. I have no experience with parvo, so I can only go by what I read here. Please use the Parvocide throughout the house and yard, and on your family's clothing. You need to think about where you have gone, as well as your husband, children, and even Mousse if they had contact with your precious soul. I really think Mousse will be okay, even with a compromised immune system based upon what my vet told me. My Rainbow Bridge baby, Ashley, was exposed to many dogs in our daily walks in the seven years when we stopped all vaccines, and she passed away at close to seventeen. If the immunization a have done properly as a puppy and they have their first year booster, they should be immunized for life, or at least conservatively 5-7 years. I will keep praying for you. I am so sorry for your loss.
