[boxer lovers] Parvo

Got this off another list. Even if you don't show you should be aware Parvo is VERY infectious and can be transmitted by your walking through an infected area. And you should be careful taking your dog to "public areas" like box pet stores, dog parks, etc.

Get your dogs vaccinated. What follows is the news ... LisaW

 
 Ok people. We are having a parvo outbreak in Kansas. Irresponsible handlers are still going to breed shows, obedience and agility events who either have or have been exposed to parvo affected dogs. Some puppies as well as a couple of adult dogs have died. So please make sure your dogs are vaccinated and protected against this deadly disease. Do some research too as parvo has now morphed into its 4th strain of the virus since discovered in the early 80's.

There was also a huge outbreak of parvo from the Aussie nationals in California. AKC does have a ruling that you cannot attend events for at least 30 days after exposure.

Protect your dogs !!
