SNAP SHOT 194 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 you need to use a disinfectant that will kill parvo virus.... Virkon-S is one of them, i think du-pont make it... All bowls, drinking vessels, toys etc, need to be cleaned, wash the area with a large volume of water first, this will disperse the particals into even areas, then proceed to use the disinfectant, at the stated dose in water and clean the area well, but only after all animal waste has been lifted from the area and dumped in sealed plastic bags, make sure any method is animal friendly, on the label as some disinfectants will cause severe burning on the animals pads, and skin... good luck.

JPTfellterrier 65 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 some good info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_parvovirus Prevention and decontaminationSee also: DA2PPC Vaccine Prevention is the only way to ensure that a puppy or dog remains healthy because the disease is extremely virulent and contagious. The virus is extremely hardy and has been found to survive in feces and other organic material such as soil for over a year. It survives extremely cold and hot temperatures. The only household disinfectant that kills the virus is bleach.[20] Puppies are generally vaccinated in a series of doses, extending from the earliest time that the immunity derived from the mother wears off until after that passive immunity is definitely gone.[26] Older puppies (16 weeks or older) are given 3 vaccinations 3 to 4 weeks apart.[21] The duration of immunity of vaccines for CPV2 has been tested for all major vaccine manufacturers in the United States and has been found to be at least three years after the initial puppy series and a booster 1 year later.[27] A dog that successfully recovers from CPV2 sheds the virus for a few days. Ongoing infection risk is primarily from fecal contamination of the environment due to the virus's ability to survive many months in the environment. Neighbours and family members with dogs should be notified of infected animals so that they can ensure that their dogs are vaccinated or tested for immunity. The vaccine will take up to 2 weeks to reach effective levels of immunity; the contagious individual should remain in quarantine until other animals are protected.[28] 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
