No, horses do not contract parvo.
The above answer is totally incorrect-It is IMPOSSIBLE to catch parvo from another species! Cats cannot get parvo. They can catch what is called Feline Distemper which is like parvo, but it only happens in cats, they cannot catch it from anything else besides cats, and it is not actually parvo. Same thing with Rodents- rodents can catch something that is "like" parvo but it is not the actual parvo virus.To sum this up only canines can get parvo.
Getting your dog the parvo vaccine is not 100 percent protection. Certain breeds are more vonerable to contracting Parvo. Bulldogs, pitbulls, boxers and dobermans are prone to this disease and if they have come into contact with it they could easily get it.
No. Parvo is a disease ONLY in dogs that attacks the cells in the GI tract. This disease is not zoonotic (humans cannot catch it) and neither can felines. Felines can get another form of parvo called panleukopenia unrelated to Parvo with similar symptoms. But dogs can't catch it from cats and vice versa.Source: Veterinary Technician at an emergency and specialty hospital.
By 3-4 weeks of age. Pitbulls are especially prone to parvovirus. Make sure you complete the whole series, though. I bet half of the parvo cases I've seen are because the owners only got the first or second set of puppy shots.
1st Answer: no 2nd Answer: No, your dog cannot catch parvo from mice or mice droppings but your dog can get lepto from that or rat or mice urine too. Make sure your Veterinarian includes Lepto in hour dog's vaccines.
no, horses can't get parvo, parvo is a disease that puppies get.
PARVO
yes
Parvo is highly contagious. So if the infected dog was near a dog that wasn't vaccinated against parvo, it is possible to infect the healthy dog whether it was sexual contact or not.
No. The best thing to do for your dog if they have parvo is to take them to the veterinarian. Parvo usually requires intense medical treatment, and even then the patient does not make it sometimes.
No. Once your dog has had parvo, it cannot get it again, same scenario as with chickenpox.
