I have been limiting vaccines ever since I found your site. Recently one of my pups got parvo. I'm very careful with keeping things clean, I don't understand how he got it. Any ideas?

Last year I found your site and ordered several of the books you recommend. I also ordered your catalog including extras and give out with each puppy I sell. I try to inform all about the vaccine problems and tell them to order the books regarding this. This is my problem: This morning I woke up to a very sick puppy. Was fine yesterday, the puppy is a maltese chihuahua, they were born Oct. 20th of this year. Their weights are under 2 lbs and still nursing a little. I had had an appointment to have their first shots last week but called to change it to next week so they would be a little older. My vet (he is the only vet I have spoke with in the Orlando area that reduces the amount of each vaccine - to each puppies body weight). I rushed the puppy to their office, they did a parvo test and it showed positive. I asked them to please give it fluids when I first got there, I knew it was dehydrated. For what ever reason they didn't. When they brought out the puppy I asked about the fluids and that's when I found out they did not do the fluids. I asked for all the supplies that I had 4 other puppies at home and I would do it. I asked for AD food, (While the vet was out of the room I read his book that he had opened to parvo.) The book mentioned to feed with a very mild food, hydrate and give antibiotics. So I asked for all three of these. I left with a $144.00 bill and all they really did was the parvo test. The puppy died 15 minutes after I left the vet's office. Now that I am home, another puppy looks ill and just vomited. The mother has had her vaccinations. I am looking into my mass of paperwork to see when her last shot was but I know she's had her shots. She is almost 3 yrs old. I have many dogs in my home. We have done rescue for years. Most of the dogs are over 7, we get them when all the "fun" is gone and the real work begins. I need to know how I can save these babies and what risk do my other dogs have? We have about 5 dogs under 5 yrs old. I do not let the Moms go outside. Use a ton of wee wee pads. I keep a very clean home so it's not due to filthy or bad conditions. We have a pool so that's one of the reasons they don't go out and also have several cats that go out back and do not want the dogs to get to the cat poop. Any light you can shed on this I would greatly appreciate! I am at a loss because I have read so much about the vaccine problems, esp. with the smaller dogs. I do not know anyone that has had parvo problems so how in the world would these puppies get it? In my paperwork I send with each puppy I tell the new owners not to go to doggy parks, to carry them into the vet's office, not let them play on the vet's floor, do not take them into the dog stores. The parents and grand parents of these puppies are in my home so there is no parvo in their past and I have not brought in any rescues in the past 2 yrs. Please help me understand this insanity. I thank you in advance for any insight you can share with me. I did ask the vet on a past visit to show me how to tube feed. Haa that was a joke! I have tube fed large parrots in the past so I have a little idea of the concept. He just brushed off the request.

Sincerely,
