Asalei Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 There's tonnes of parvo cases all over Brisbane.. Time to be extra vigilent with where your dogs go and who they are socialising with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss B Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) There's tonnes of parvo cases all over Brisbane.. Time to be extra vigilent with where your dogs go and who they are socialising with. +1 We have had 3 cases in recently and we very rarely see Parvo in our area.

oakway Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Can anyone confirm that these cases are in known vaccinated dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss B Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Can anyone confirm that these cases are in known vaccinated dogs. The cases I have seen personally (3 in the past few weeks) have all been unvaccinated puppies less than 4 months of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppyDog Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I know of 2 cases in the Ipswich area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Can anyone confirm that these cases are in known vaccinated dogs. The cases I have seen personally (3 in the past few weeks) have all been un-vaccinated puppies less than 4 months of age. Thank you for your reply Miss B. I would have thought that this may apply to un vaccinated dogs. Most pups vaccinated at around 8 weeks with a reliable vaccine I believe would have a good immunity to this dreaded disease.

princess_nat_88 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 That's no good. Makes me hesitant to take my doggy to the dog park, social events etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Why do people have a fear of Parvo when their dogs are vaccinated ?. If you are vaccinated against Rubella you can't catch it, the same with Parvo. This is why we vaccinate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karly101 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Thats not completely true...vaccines are not 100%... Have also seen cases of parvo in older dogs that were not vaccinated after their puppy series (I believe the booster at a year of age is a must), also cases in puppies that have had 2 vaccs but not the third.

Merrirose Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) A lot of vaccines just reduce the severity of the disease not the actual occurrence of it such as kennel cough (canine), strangles (equine), EHV (equine) ect. I think there are some which stop the occurrence of the disease such as tetanus (equine). Quoted from a vet website in relation to the parvo virus "Vaccination is the best option. Dogs that come into contact with large amounts of the virus may still become infected but the vaccination will reduce the severity and allow the dog to have a good chance of survival."

ashka1 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Was at the emergency vets at Springwood over the easter break and we were chatting about pups and I was told of many cases of Parvo, dozens I was told, and other nasty things around at the moment. Vacination is not a 100% garentee but will reduce severity if they do happen to pick up the bugs. I think I would be very carefull with young pups ATM even if they have been vacinated.

GoldenGirl85 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Why do people have a fear of Parvo when their dogs are vaccinated ?.If you are vaccinated against Rubella you can't catch it, the same with Parvo. This is why we vaccinate. Actually you can, it is possible for your immune system to 'forget' about the antibodies your body produces when you have a vaccine (or the disease), especially if you have the vaccine/disease very young I had the rubella vaccine as a baby, when I was 8 I caught it, I got revaccinated in the school program at 14. This year I had to get a blood test to show if I had antibodies for rubella for work...surprisingly I did, but after being exposed to it 3 times in my youth Id hope I am immune lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystiqview Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Also a vaccinated dog can still CARRY a problem. They do not show clinical signs but can carry it and pass it onto a dog that is not vaccinated. So those with older dogs and friends with puppies, please be considerate.

Yes but Missymoo we know about Hef, but he is the exception to the rule. :p The average run of the mill dog when vaccinated does not usually catch Parvo or die from it. You and Hef were unfortunately the exception to the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 If you have had a puppy die from parvo how long before you can get another pup. I friend of my sons, recently had his 8 wo pup die and now is talking about getting another. Need some facts to give him so it doesnt happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
