| Parvo etc carried by what animals? Just curious if anyone knows...do fox and coyote carry the same disease as dogs? We live in the country and have recently spotted a den of 2 foxes living in one of the hay barns. The hay barns are a couple acres from our house and we have never seen them anywhere near the house but I am still curious as we walk the dogs all over the property.

| Here is a quick blurb of info I came across. Seems reasonble to think it could be passed from other dog type species. If your dog is vacinated, it shouldn't be a concern I would think. "CPV2 affects dogs, wolves, foxes, and other canids. CPV2a and CPV2b have been isolated from a small percentage of symptomatic cats and is more common than feline panleukopenia in big cats.[12] Previously it has been thought that the virus does not undergo cross species infection. However studies in Vietnam have shown that CPV2 can undergo minor antigenic shift and natural mutation to infect felids. Analyses of feline parvovirus (FPV) isolates in Vietnam and Taiwan revealed that more than 80% of the isolates were of the canine parvovirus type, rather than feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV).[13] CPV2 may spread to cats easier than dogs and undergo faster rates of mutation within that species. The virus does not transmit to birds, or humans , but it can be spread by them when a bird comes in contact with feces and then the dog's environment, or when a cat goes to the groomers and returns with an exposed pet carrier."

| I would worry about worms, mites, and rabies also. Not to mention a yorkie lunch! Be cautious.

| We have a bigger dog (pound puppy turned old man now) and the two go out together. Bella Mia doesnt normally leave our yard and is not left unattended. Yogi (the bigger dog) is trained to "get Bella" if she goes anywhere she isnt supposed he "gets Bella) and herds her back home...VERY CUTE when he does it. He is a VERY good boy and VERY well trained by his daddy!
