How Long Can A Puppy Live With Parvo Without Treatment?

A lady recently told me her puppy died of the parvo virus. She had the puppy for 3 months. I vaccinated the puppy twice . I have heard that they can only survive up to 10 days from contamination. Is this true? In which case she picked up the virus elsewhere???

    A puppy will not live very long with parvo. If you have a puppy with Parvo get treatment now before it is to late.

      I'm not sure what you mean by "they can only survive up to 10 days".  Vaccination can take a week or 2 to become effective in terms of protection against disease, and your dog will only have lasting immunity if your puppy has 3 initial booster vaccinations, and then yearly vaccinations thereafter.  Puppy deaths usually occur 2-3 days after infection with the virus.  It is highly fatal in puppies and any dogs with clinical signs should receive immediate treatment.

      Thank You. A lady bought a puppy from me that I had given it's first set of shots to 2 weeks prior. I told her to get the next shots in a week. She did not do this.The puppy was healthy when she left. The lady had her for 3 months and did not take her to the vet when she got sick. When she died a necropsy was done and came back with Parvo. My concern is did this puppy contract the parvo here and survive all that time? Or did the puppy contract the parvo in the 3months she owned her.. I have heard they won't survive that long. I want to take responsibility if the parvo came from here but facts are showing that they just won't live with parvo for 3 months. I have heard 7-10 days. Thanks for your time, Angie

        Well my puppy just recently died today from what i believe was parvo cause of all the symptoms she had.
        She had gotten the symptoms about three days ago so it wasn't that long.
        I didn't take her to the vet in time. So please be aware of the symptoms.
        They say that dogs are getting parvo so much now.

          I am almost certain the puppy contracted the virus with its new owner. Parvo destroys the intestines of a puppy very quickly. It's usually between 4-14 days from exposure to symptoms.
