i hate to hear that .this is my first experience with parvo and up untill now i thought that as long as you give your shots on time,you wouldn't have any problems and people who let their hounds catch parvo are not responsible owners.not so....while i was eating a big slice of humble pie,my vet told me that those 7n1 shots from the co-op or feed stores are not regulated and are not as good as the ones they use.(of course they're gonna say that because they want you to buy from them)so i told her that i've been using the same 7n1 shot from the same store for years and never had a problem.she quickly replied(if you would have let us give the shots and he caught parvo,we would have paid for everything it took to get him taken care of).
