I think Bandit spent 3 days in the hospital

they all made it?

Nope, unfortunately.

Panda died. It was very hard. Right before Christmas too. She was the one that had a booster and the first one to get it. Because it was our first time owning dogs and the first time dealing with parvo, we realized too late. It was a really bad idea and now looking back, I regret it so much.

The other two made it though. The only one that did not get it was Kiki, who didn't get parvo at all and she never got her booster shot, so I hope her immunity stays strong. Auggie and Snowball were the other two that got it. Its really complicated, since my mom had a "dog-frenzy" and bought one dog (Kiki) and then 2 more (Panda and Auggie). Then, Panda died or parvo, which was tested for and Auggie got it as well. After Christmas, my dad wanted another dog to "protect" the family. Thus, Snowball came along and she got parvo as well (as expected). I said no to all of the dogs and now I love them all! But I only take care of Kiki.

I forgot how long they spent in the hospital. Both Auggie and Snowball went, though. My dad was against letting Panda go so we chose home treatment, but when he did say yes, it was too late.

It isn't. The vet said that it killed them 50% of the time (without in-vet clinic care).

Well that's good that some survive. I'm probably thinking 50 years ago when I had a dog to die from it. Then I couldn't have another dog because they said it was in the yard and would be there for 10 years

I heard it only lasts for 1 year. And my mom was convinced to bleach everything (which isn't entirely possible). I had to mop the floor 4 times everyday, keep the dogs separate, but they still mostly all got it.

So you never got a dog for 10 years??

google sezs,
Extremely resilient, parvovirus can survive in the environment for up to nine years, including the ground and soil. It can also withstand most household cleaning products (bleach is an exception), heat, cold and humidity, all of which makes the spread of the virus is hard to control.

That's sad
