Thanks for the note. This site that I found said that adult dogs that had been vaccinated usually retained their immunity, so I hope you older dog is OK. It sounds like the pup must have had parvovirus already when you got him.

If there is a way to let the place or people know where you got him from that he was sick you should. What if all their animals are infected? I haven't figured out how to let you know the site URL that I had found. I tried to send it in the first message, but the "burtit" site wouldn't let me. I have seen others do it, so I just don't know how, I guess.

I hope everything works out for you with this. I would have just been broken-hearted. Then trying to clean everything . . . I was thinking that that ratio of bleach to water is actually not very high. You could test it on an unseen place on your carpet and see if it stays ok with it's color. It might be all right to use on your material items at this amount.

I have learned a lot from answering this. I knew it was very bad for the animals but I never knew that the virus could live on in your home and the ground.

Good luck to you. ~Kathy
