As for your other baby, I'm sure you already know this, but she won't be fully protected until she's had her full series of vaccines. You need to clean everything in your house where she could come in contact with Parvo with bleach or some other disinfectant labeled for Parvo. Also treat the ground outside if your puppy was out there. I know you said you gave the vaccine yourself, but you need to be very careful about where you buy them. It's not always about giving the vaccine wrong. If they haven't been stored properly at the correct temperature prior to you buying them, they're worthless. Good luck to you and again I'm really sorry.

Yes thanks believe it or not we sprayed my husband and I, 1acre this morning with bleach all grass, patio, crates, everything I don't care if the grass dies I just don't want my other yorkies getting the disease. I will not be letting any of my dogs to the backyard for a while I'll be taking them in the front yard just to be careful. I have cleaned the whole house inch by inch with Clorox today my husband says I look like I have OCD but I'm just taking all the nessasary precautions.

I am so sorry to hear about your baby. I have only had Pluto for a week, first yorkie, and I can see why people love them so much.

I'm so sorry this happened, it's unbelievable.

You should read this thread YorkieMom gives a lot of good advice about cleaning and disinfecting. You absolutely need to be "OCD".

im soooo sorry for your loss.. I know exactly what your going through because my first yorkie died of parvo. I will never know if he contracted it from the breeder even though his litter was completely healthy. In time you will heal but never forget. I know have my baby bruno who is 2 and is the love of my life...Trust that someday another yorkie will come into your life. They bring so much love and joy..take care

You can bring parvo in on your shoes and clothing. Other dogs can bring it in on their paws and fur. Don't assume your front yard is safe. All it takes is one dog or person with parvo on them to walk across your yard. It can live in the soil for 5-7 years, and bleaching alone will not kill it in the soil, nor will a hard freeze-the only true way to kill it in the soil is fire, and you can't exactly set your yard on fire....
