I didnt know parvo was also airborne. Thanx for the info :)

parvo isn't airborne... here's info from an article i have....


Although not airborne, Parvo is highly contagious and extremely hardy. Puppies and dogs can contract the parvovirus and never leave their yards. The virus can last 9 months or longer in soil or it can be brought to your dog on your shoes, hands, and even car tires. Birds invading the dog's food dish can also be a culprit for spreading the disease. Even puppies that have been vaccinated for Parvo can contract the virus.

Even dogs that have been vaccinated? So when are they protected...after the booster shot? :?
i think the more bosters they have the less they become suseptible to the virus. that is why they typically tell you not let your dog be ground bound until their last set of shots (some even a week after the first set...)
