This concerns one of my puppies that has went to a new home:

I recommend vaccines at 10, 14 and 18 weeks

Puppy Born 7-26-06
October 3rd - given first vaccine (combo no lepto no corona) at 10 weeks

He will be 14 weeks on October 31st

Exposed to parvo in same house almost a week ago. The parvo stricken dog is in the hospital on i.v. and the vet can't say for sure it's parvo????? Not my vet, but doesn't sound right to me.

Rowdy, my puppy shows no signs, no lethargy, no soft stools, no vomiting, perfectly healthy. I think he should get his 2nd vaccine today, but the vet tech told them he shouldn't??????

They are taking my advice and on their way over so I can give vaccine. Am I wrong - I don't like anything they are telling me about their vet so I don't trust any advice their being given, but would like some more opinions.

20 years ago, I had a litter exposed to parvo and the vet had me bring them all in for a vaccine saying if they did contract it it would be a lighter case, but that was 20 years ago. They did get parvo, but were never hospitalized. I just forced fed Pedialyte with a nasal bulb aspirator every hour around the clock and in about 3 weeks they all started eating and drinking again on their own.
