If a puppy died from parvo how long would you have to wait to get another dog?

Answer 1

Parvo is very contagious you must bleach everything you can bleach including your walls yard shoes etc. We were told what we could not bleach to use Lysol spray like on your sofa etc. From my understanding from our vet parvo is around for years after the pet has been gone. You try to eliminate any place that has been contaminated by your pet by sterilizing and disinfecting.(Its alot of work but necessary). After everything has been sterilized you consider what breed you are getting some breeds have a lower immunity than others such as rotts I would get the dog or puppy vaccinated b4 it even comes in your house and with the breeds that have a lower immune system I would try to avoid getting one if your puppy died recently. If you do get a puppy or dog you need to have them vaccinated regularly and the ones with a lower immunity u have to vaccinate more often. My dog is a parvo survivor she will be 12 in July. She was very lucky she almost didn't make it. Good luck and im sorry to hear about your puppy.

Answer 2

We had a pup that died from Parvo many years ago. Our vet highly suggested to us, that first off, (clean everything) spray bleach in any area that the pup was including where it went to do it's business. Outside (full strength), indoors (1/2 bleach and 1/2 water). We must have gone through about 10 gals worth of bleach.
Extremely contagious.
He also told us to wait at least six months before we got a new pup. Just to be on the safe side if any lingering bacteria was still around.

We had a pup and didn't not know the pup had Parvo when we adopted him. The next night, he started with all the symptoms and we took him to the vet and he spent three days there, trying to recover, but he didn't make it. :-(
Make sure when you get a new pup, that it has been checked and has all it's shots.

The parvo virus can stay alive up to a year in the environment. Using a bleach solution on any washable surface is fine, but you simply cannot disinfect organic matter like the ground. The virus is found in the feces at the highest levels, so if the pup went to the bathroom outside, the virus may still be there. It is very rare for an adult, fully vaccinated dog to get the virus. I would get an older pup or adult dog that has had its full series of vaccines. I would not get a young puppy for a year.

Answer 4

Been there done that...please wait a good year. The house, carpets, floors everything needs disinfected and when I lost my rot to parvo, the vet even told me to use a bleach solution on the yard. Parvo is not something to mess around with and it is a painful death...dont risk putting another animal through that. also when you do feel that you are ready for another dog, dont get one that hasnt had the first few rounds of shots already. That way they have a good healthy start.

Answer 5

I heard 1 year. But when my little beagle died of parvo, I used bleach to wash every possible area/thing I could. Washed all the fabric that she used, played in, and slept in. I have stone flooring, so I wiped the floor with a cleaning agent with bleach as well. I threw away all the toys she had. Then I got a new puppy within a week, now she is 1 year old, still healthy, and have no signs of any illnesses so far.

Answer 6

I'm very sorry if this question refers to you :(
My dog died of old age and i waited 7 months- to the day- to get a new puppy, but she found me, i didn't find her, and she just seemed so perfect! So don't rush getting a dog- just wait for one to find you! And make sure you get the parvo shot for your pup they start at week 8,then another at 11 weeks and another at 14 weeks and yet another at 17 Weeks! My pup just got her 14 week one- with the rabies today!

Good luck ♥♥

Answer 7

If you get one sooner, make sure you wash every washable surface, throw out any old toys that can't be sanitized (chew ropes, socks, etc). Clean eating utensils for the prior dog thoroughly (with bleach preferably). Wash or dispose of all bedding the other puppy used. Clean every surface that your other dog was in contact with...floors, crate (each and every part), door knobs, doors, etc. A THOROUGH CLEANING IS ESSENTIAL AND GET YOUR NEW PET VACINATED FOR PARVO.

Answer 8

Parvovirus is many times handed directly to risky (dehydrated) canines. a sturdy thank you to purpose if a dogs has parvo (or is dehydrated) is to tug the floor of their chest/chin down purely slightly, if it maintains to be down then that's maximum probable dehydrated and is greater in risk of the parvovirus yet whilst it is going returned into place then the dogs is hydrated and much less in risk of the virus. you have executed the remarkable component with the aid of bleaching each thing down and laying aside the products the puppy got here into touch with. you will get a dogs immediately......yet i may well be calling the SPCA on your preserve with the aid of fact for sure the dogs grew to become into on the preserve long adequate to be observed out (if it grew to become right into a stray they might desire to attend a minimum of a week, or greater, to undertake out the puppy). whether the puppy grew to become into born in the preserve they might desire to attend 8 weeks to undertake it out......i think what i'm getting to is the puppy grew to become into there and clearly no longer cared for ok with the aid of fact it shrunk parvo and died. BTW: parvo is many times purely recent in domestic dogs below one million twelve months previous.....in step with probability you should locate an invaluable puppy that has reached the only million twelve months mark yet remains a puppy.

18 months to 24
