Any age dog can get parvo, it is just seen most ofted in pups and older dogs who's immune systems are lacking. Vaccination isn't a 100% guarantee agaisnt illness sadly.

my girl had her parvo shot at 6 weeks as well but her previous owner didnt follow up on them. fortunately she is doing a lot better today more active, gettin her fluids and everything. But they called and said she started vomitting after i left from visiting and I have to call back an check on her to see how shes doing and to see if I can bring her home today. Thank you all for the words of concern. God willing shell bounce back from this and itll be just a distant memory.

I didnt know dogs got parvo at that age?!?! My dogs have been vaccinated against that I thought?!?! Dont the first shots include a vaccination for this?
Vaccinations can not always stop a virus bc they mutate ...that is the trouble with AIDS once we get one strand under control another one pops up....IMHO there is nothing worse than a virus...............=...With virus you cannot cure it you can only treat the symptoms and hope that the body kicks it on its own

You are in my prayers

I hope the vet informed you to bleach everything because that is the only way to kill parvo in your home and around your home, so she does not have another episode or any other dogs you may have. We had a pup years ago that died from it and we had to clean every where she threw up and pooed with bleach even outside, we took a pump spray bottle with bleach and water and sprayed the whole yard down.

Glad to see your girl is doing better!
