Protecting current puppy from parvo puppy?
*ae* asked:
I have a six month old puppy that has had two rounds of vaccinations. My roommates adopted an eight week old puppy from an animal shelter 5 days ago. It has been sick the past two days so they took it to the vet and found out it has parvo. As of now, I don’t know many details as to how bad off the puppy is or if they may have to put it to sleep. I know to disinfect everything with bleach water, but I am worried about my 6 mo old pup. Can she still catch the virus despite the vaccinations? What additional precautions should I take to protect her?

Parvo shots are no longer an effective protection against the latest strains of this virus.
