dogs over 1 yr old and fully vaccinated are safe. however, parvo is a very serious illness, and great care should be taken to ristrict other puppys contact with the ill puppy, including kids infected clothing worn to school and passed around town.

No Problem for your adult dogs provided they have vaccinated at least 6 months before. Any how take the following precautionary measure for minimum of 2 months-
1. Prevent your dog from coming in contact with your pup's feces.
2. Observe good hygiene at home, and if you board your dog, insist that its kennels and runs be disinfected daily. A 1 to 30 ratio of chlorine bleach to water is most effective against parvo virus.
3. Make sure you clean all of the items the puppy may have had contact with (toys, bedding, bowls, etc…), with this bleach and water mixture.
4. Best thing-- Dispose of the toys, bedding, food and water bowls, etc… that the sick animal may have had and that you purchase new items for your new pet.

Do not spend Hundreds of $ to save this puppy the sad fate is that they do not survive. I had two different pups with parvo huge vet bills and the both did not make it. The vet will try to get you to spend a fortune on the pup trying to save it but the Vet knows that the outcome is almost allways the same I am very sorry my heart was broken twice

Your older dogs are likely to be safe, unless they are ill, or have a compromised immune system, such as in the very elderly..
When older dogs get it, it acts more like a five day flu..not nearly as aggressive as when pups get it..

The other dogs should be fine, but as a precaution, I would isolate the puppy until it is well. Hope the little one will be okay.

If your other dogs are vaccinated, they should be fine. Be sure, however, to thoroughly clean up after the sick one or it will keep re-infecting itself... and the other dogs can carry the virus around on their feet if they tread through the sick one's messes...

Little to none if they have already been vaccinated.
BUT... have you been keeping up with boosters?
