parvo is deadly, very contaigous and expensive-I hope that the puppy pulls
through. Lots of shelters have this problem.


try not to bring home the puppy to your house and don't go to their house if you
have puppies.

if your dogs are adults and have their vaccines they should be fine.

this puppy?
