Has anyone heard of a new variant of the Parvo virus that the existing vaccine does not protect against?

I googled and found this link about it.

(We've already established that I'm not the brightest crayon in the box when it comes to computer issues so I hope this link works!)

Hm, never noticed the human version. Hope I can get it here….which I kinda expect since it's "harvested from the seas of Norway"....lol If it helps me as much as Gizmo I will be in shock and joy! What I don't understand is it's in tablet form....how can it help teeth if you swallow it whole? Says it works through your blood stream....eh...okay... Looks like I might have unwittingly given clean teeth for the dogs and humans here....haha!

All my dogs are protected by homeopathic nosodes for Parvo and although it is a most horrible infection I do also know that the homeopathy offers the best chance of a cure. Dogs conventionally vaccinated against Parvo have been known to contract it but I wouldn't panic about this outbreak yet. It could be that these are unvaccinated dogs. I'll contact Irene in case she would like to make the homeopathic treatment known and also to find out if she has founf out anything more about these cases.

Just as a note, we had a Carrier bred to a Clear which produced 8 puppies. The testing on the puppies found 1 Carrier, 1 Clear, and 6 Indeterminate. According to Jon Curby, the rate up til now has been about 5% Indeterminates - but this breeding produced 75%! As Kathy said, the statistics are for individual puppies, not for entire litters… Terry

@Schouiffy: Hey Tanza, No she hasn't had much of anything done as of recent. My parents have had a really wild last 2 years so I think thats contributed to the lack of vet work. Happily, and thanks to Dan, we have an appointment set up for tomorrow morning with the vet. yay. And I'll restrain on the food front. I mean its not awful food, but there are a lot of grains… hmm. It's really kinda difficult to see them at this age, I think this last year as been a hard one for her too... Again.. at her age.. I go back to "if it ain't broke" don't try to fix it… I can tell you that is exactly what I would do... period.... and yes, there might be better.. but at her age... it is not going to make a difference.. again IMO

It is supposed to be as accurate as the blood test. You can definitely still send blood, which they would appreciate, especially when we get new testing procedures.
