Dogs an Parvo

Let me just start out by saying GET YOUR DOGS CHECKED FOR PARVO on a regular bases! Chances of any dogs living is slim. Small dogs have (on average) a 20% chance of living after being infected by parvo. The animal death count for my build right now is 3/6 the others are still fighting for their lives.

Our apartment complex is like infested with Parvo all along the fenced area (were the creek is). We have neighbors who we told many many times not to take their 4 dogs near the fenced areas because of the parvo. Well they did not listen. Not only does their dogs have parvo our friends dog has it too and the lady that lives doorstairs her dog just died yesterday from it. They tried to tell everyone it was not their dogs who was the carrier of it but we know it is because we have had many people up here prior to them that had a ton of dogs as well and none of them had parvo or any signs of having it but those people are gone and have been gone well before the new people moved up here.

Its just disgusting how these people actually live and neglect the animals and children in their apartment. We used to live in the apartment they are in now but we moved down the hall to a much bigger place. With the 5 of us (2 adults and 3 kids) our old apartment was not big enough but these people have 4 adults, 4 children, 4 dogs and 6 cats living in the very small 2 bedroom apartment! Talk about going CRAZY! All I can say when I even think of that apartment is man oh man does it ever stink so bad! They actually let their animals crap and pee in the hallway and once they let them come all the way down by our door and the dog crapped there! The lady downstairs blew up on these people yesterday when her dog died because they never warned her that they took their dogs by the fence. We called the warden a few days ago because the animals are mistreated so badly it makes you sick to your stomach. Our neighbor lady called the warden, the landlord, child services and the health department yesterday on the people. Not sure if anything is going to be done about the issue but we shall see.

but seriously enough about complaining just be sure to check your dog (an all your animals up to date on regular NEEDED check ups) even just a slight hint there is something wrong with them GET THEM CHECKED! If you really love your animals a small fee for a vet visit wont matter and a small fee is well worth your animals lives!!!!

If your animal has parvo get help right away! They will more then likely put your animal(s) on an IV as well has been on around the clock care including pills (by mouth every 2 hours), shots (every 7 hours).

If you think your animals have it or just think someone may have brought parvo in your home (parvo is carried by animals and on human clothing, shoes, etc.) pull your carpet (clean it with bleach water then throw it away in a high dumpster or burn it.. So other animals dont come in contact with it), Clean your furnature inside and out with the right cleaning supplies (contact your local vet office for information on where to get the right cleaning supplies for parvo).

Also be a life savor and adopt a pet (or if you don't want an animal donate a small amount to help pay for animal care) www.petfinder.com is a good place to look for an animal and also a way to donate money to help animals around your area.
