When I went to see the pup last night he was very lively, even wanted to play a lot with his toys. They said he was eating, but not eating a lot like they wanted him to. This morning the vet called me and said that he did throw up once yesterday, but that he was eating a lot this morning. They are going to call me back this afternoon and give me another update. I will keep everyone informed and thank you so much for your prayers.

ann freier Webboard User Reg: 11-20-2005 Posts: 673 Loc: NE Nebraska Offline	i second Beth's question, but, boy, it sounds like parvo, and by the skin of my teeth survival to me. at least, if it is, and he DOES survive, you can rest assured, he'll NEVER get it again. sounds cautiously optimistic at this point. my fingers are crossed for him, matthew.

Beth Sparks Webboard User Reg: 01-25-2006 Posts: 186 Loc: Offline	If a pup gets parvo(really bad)is it like chicken pox? The immunity is life-long? Or if they get it again is not as bad? After contracting Parvo does the pup remain a carrier? Sorry for the battery of questions <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Sorry for the battery of questions <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> From http://www.2ndchance.info/parvo.htm QUOTE: Immunity To The Disease Recovered dogs are probably immune for life. Because of the strong immunity that follows infection, carrier dogs do not exist. END But according to http://vetmedicine.about.com/cs/dognz/a/parvodog.htm QUOTE: Dogs who have survived parvo can get it again. In the case of some puppies, a puppy testing negative for Parvo one day could succumb to the virus within a matter of days. It strikes fast and without mercy. Dr. Cathy Priddle has warned that sulfa drugs have been known to cause dehydration in dogs, suggesting that animals infected with parvovirus should not be given sulfa drugs.............END QUOTE and from http://www.vetinfo4dogs.com/dparvo.html#Parvovirus QUOTE: Parvovirus vaccination probably lasts for life if good immunity is ever achieved. In most dogs, a single injection of a modified live parvovirus vaccine given after twelve weeks of age ( new high titer vaccines) or sixteen weeks of age (older vaccines) will confer immunity..... END BTW, that last source -- that's a site I find very helpful, very often.
