Much of the other dog's chances of getting parvo depend the timing of its shots. Any shots less than 2 weeks before being exposed wouldn't give time to build immunity. If it is another young pup, immunity from its mother could have kept the shots from taking too.

Parvo destroys the lining of the intestines. I guess you have to keep the fluids until it regrows.

For reliable information on parvo, see Canine Parvovirus, What you should know about (http://www.avma.org/communications/brochures/canine_parvo/parvo_brochure.asp) I know it is a reliable site.

From a PM, ''blue healer made it through parvo, and no sight of it in other two yet , thanks for imformation , few weeks ago.''

I thought I would share the good news with others that care.
