ox1973 2 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hi lads, I've put this in me other thread but I've got a sick pup at vets with possible parvo, what's the chances of my 2 yr old am bull that is overdue his booster by 5 months getting it? A know most say the boosters are a con but bit worried,cheers Quote Link to post
Clarkey92 10 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Don't mean to worry you but I had 6 staffs at home a few years ago, I was unlucky and they all caught parvo, 4 died but the 2 youngest with treatment got over it, your dog being young probably has a good fighting chance so fingers crossed mate. 1 Quote Link to post
Clarkey92 10 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 You also sprayed all my kennels after with parvocide just to be careful. Quote Link to post

chartpolski 24,582 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 When Parvo first started to appear round here, late 70's, early 's, I had 3 dogs. Two adults, (a Collie x and a Saluki x), and an 8 month pup, (Deerhound x), in the same kennels. The pup caught Parvo and died, even with extensive vet treatment. The other dogs were fine. All of them had been innoculated. I burnt all the bedding and cleaned the kennels out with Jeyes Fluid. I think it's just luck if your other dogs get it or not. Hope all works out well for you and your dogs ! Cheers. Quote Link to post
ox1973 2 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Cheers for replys, there sayin the pup has kidney failure now Quote Link to post
R.A.W 1,987 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 feel really sorry for you mate. i lost two pups a few years ago and nearly lost my old girl. the vets had her in for days in the end they said she wasn't responding to the treament. i had to take a week off work and nurse her myself. not an easy job i tell you .she would only eat fish shop sausages. cost me a fortune but worth every penny.

Mixed Bag 603 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 feel bad for you mate its a horrible disease with no respect for young or old like charpolski says sometimes its just luck what dogs get it and what dont. hope yours pull through Quote Link to post
nicolanewman 1 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hi. If your older dog had 2 vaccinations as a pup and then its first booster at 14months old he should be covered for parvo for 3 years after the booster. Quote Link to post
ox1973 2 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Tbh I think its lookin less like parvo with the kidney failure etc, waitin to here results of the x-ray Quote Link to post
bird 9,982 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Tbh I think its lookin less like parvo with the kidney failure etc, waitin to here results of the x-ray hope it goes ok and its not parvo, ive heard that it can stay in the ground where( kennel yard+ grass) you live for (6 months) .With the dog with kidney prob, even if it pulls through, it might not ever run proper again, regards hard long nights work, might be ok as a pet though.!

ox1973 2 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Tbh I think its lookin less like parvo with the kidney failure etc, waitin to here results of the x-ray Could be Lepto from Rats piss. Was the dogs eyes and belly yellowing ? Was it off its eating but taking copious amounts of water ? Lethargic ? And about 2 days after taking ill pissing and shitting blood ? If so mate pts , not many pull through and if it is Lepto even with treatment every time it pisses ect for approx 12 mths after recovery it could still be a carrier and pass it on to other animals. No mate he ate his last meal bowt 8ish then went to bed at 11, had his first runny shit at bowt half 3 then went down hill frm there, never shit any blood just looked like water Quote Link to post
