Answer 3

Parvo is a virus which is very prevalent, most dogs have been exposed to it and have some degree of resistance.
Puppies, however, have only the antibodies they get from their mother - it soon dissapates and they need to be vaccinated against Parvo.

It is very easily prevented, but very, very serious and hard to cure once a puppy has it. A great many die, so please just make sure all young dogs are vaccinated against this terrible disease.
