parvo exposure

Sent to General Experts June 8 2006 at 7:50 PM
   

I have an 8 month old dog who has all her shots, including her parvo shots. She was in contact with a dog who died of parvo for 3 days. It was minor contact since my dog was afraid of her. My question is, My dog has her basic vaccine and boosters, had very minor exposure to the dog and did not touch its feces. She shows no symptoms. I have read a lot of articles about parvo but i wanted an expert opinion on whether you personally believe she has been infected. I am very concerned and would appreciate your answer.

If she has had all of her shots and had minimal exposure and is also showing no symptoms it will still be highly advised to monitor her health carefully but chances are slimmer that she may contract it if she has been getting her shots and boosters and had little contact with the infected dog and none with the infected dog's feces. I think your chances are very good that she will not become infected with parvo but please monitor her carefully and if she shows any signs of illness at all have her seen immediately. But from all you say her chances are good she will not contract this.
