Hi there.
Parvo is a horrible, horrible disease. Little girl Dutch's vet told us the virus lives for a long, long, long time on most surfaces. He was adamant that Dutch not walk on outdoor surfaces--especially concrete--until she had the okay from him. She got the okay at, give or take, 18 weeks.
Just shy of that date, he did give us the okay for her to take a spin in our back yard. We tried that once but decided we wouldn't forgive ourselves if anything bad happened. So, we waited it out. Given how curious these little ones are, I'm glad we made that decision.
You might ask your vet--his/her mileage may vary. --KatysMom |
