You know my husband has been talking to me about the parvo vaccine giving our baby parvo. I thought he was being parinoid, but low and be told my baby got his parvo vaccine on Saturday the 2nd and lastnight we were up all night with our puppy vomiting. I took him to the vet today the 5th and he tested positive for parvo. It took 2 days, but our baby has parvo from the vaccine. Good luck people.

Paula,

Thanks for your question.

No, the Parvo virus and Parvo shots are not the same as Kennel Cough and the shots you would get for this.

The reason we linked here from our Kennel Cough Treatment site is because any vaccinations, including those for both Parvo and for Kennel Cough, carry the same risks, because they are both chemical-based products and are designed to work in the same way (i.e. they are meant to lower the dog’s immune system so that they can create antibodies against whatever has been injected into them, but the truth is that in many cases, their immune system may be completely destroyed for about two weeks).

i was checking the website for kennel cough and it linked me here regarding a shot for kennel cough. Is the parvo shot/virus the same as kennel cough?

I read your article with interest. I am especially interested in caring for older animals, primarily dogs, many of whom take a variety of prescription medications to manage other chronic conditions such as arthritis and heart conditions. Thank you very much for your thoughtful warning about vaccinations. I agree that more is not necessarily better.

It’s really hard to know whether to immunize your companion animals and I think you have given wise advise to talk to your veterinarian. I would also add that people should not hesitate to ask your vet questions, such as what is the risk of giving your animal a particular vacine AND what is the risk of not giving your dog that specific vacine.

Hi
I was surprised to read about the parvo vacine …and its disadvantages. Perhaps my former puppy Bichon Frise Divona had a shot and came down with the parvo virus all the long the breeder had her. She only lasted 16 days and had died at the hospital. Thanks for the interesting article. I will print it out to give a copy to our vet.

Happy New Year..and May each safe dog have a healthy New year Too!!

Good to know my dog is not the only pup out there who has suffered from parvo even though he was up to date on his shots. “Philly” was two years old when he started showing signs. We got him emergency care immediatley, as I am well aware of the parvo destruction. However we could not afford the $200 a day treatment. I had the vet set up an IV for fluids and antibiotics, and took him home for the longest two days of both of our lives! If you have experience with health in dogs I recomend caring for your dog at home. You can pay the vet all kinds of money, but your dog still sits alone at night. I was getting up every hour and forcing fluids, meds, and high calorie paste into my dog. After the first day and night of this he was up and moving and going outside to use the bathroom. The second night he was eating chicken and that was that. He is still healthy and full of life, but I thought I was going to lose him. After the vet got the results from the lab we found out it was the newer strand of parvo, which is why it did not show up on any of the tests.
