I already went out and bought bleach. The vet told me, but I can't remember the bleach to water ratio.. do you remember what you used?

They gave Chloe a cortisone injection to help with her cough. Maybe he got some Cortisone.

oh no!

So sorry to hear this. I know Parvo is nasty! Hope Franklin is feeling better soon!

I heard if a puppy gets parvo and recovers..they wont get it again...does anyone know that to be a fact?

MyFairLacy · 01-26-2008, 06:45 PM

You were being so careful and he still got it.. gosh..that's scary isn't it? I hope he recovers. I know you must miss him and be so worried

The emergency vet told me that if he recovered, it would be likely that he'd have a lifelong immunity. But I'm not sure.

If I remember correctly, its supposed to be 1 tablespoon to 1 gallon of water. I put more than that, probably 1/4 cup per gallon, on my tile floors, bathroom and kitchen sinks and the outside yard, doors. I also got a parvocide from Ryans Pet Supply for carpet and color sensitive laundry. I bleached all the dishes too. Good luck!!

I believe if a puppy gets Parvo, it can also get it again as there are many strains now.

Okay, that makes lots more sense.

PrincessDiana · 01-26-2008, 07:29 PM

Okay so for those of you who have had puppies with parvo, how much disinfecting did you do?

Franklin has been ALL over my house. I can bleach the tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom... should I get the walls? There's not much I can do about the carpet.... what about furniture?

Also, as far as washable items go... like bedding and clothing (both his and mine) is washing in hot water enough? I've already washed most of his bedding (they were actually in the wash when I rushed him to the vet). Should I rewash it all in bleach?

And lastly, what should I do about his toys and bowls and whatnot? I already plan on throwing all bullysticks and chewables away but what about his toys? He has both hard and soft chew toys that I would just hate to throw away.

Do you think I can wash them?

Thanks for any advice, and thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers. If Franklin does indeed survive, there's no chance in h*ll he'll get it again. I'll make sure of that.

can you steam clean your carpets?
and for his toys... well i think i'd throw out what you can... esp ones he has played with frequently.. the hard ones you can wipe down with bleach.. ??

Patti · 01-26-2008, 07:33 PM

Poor baby. You are both in my prayers.

Blackdove · 01-26-2008, 07:33 PM

I would wash everything again with bleach. you can't be too safe. I'd see if Petsmart has something you can use on your carpets and furniture for killing parvo. I'd wipe everything with bleach..and throw the rest away

BLEU BOY BARBER · 01-26-2008, 07:46 PM

sounds like you caught it in time just be very cautious for your other babies start sterilizing now this stuff stays around bleach hot water and especially your shoes praying or franklin and watching other threads too
