Animal And Company: Re: [boxer lovers] Parvo for Jeanne

Hi Mary - I don't have the links to these two articles any longer for some
reason but will try and locate them. For your own further information, I
am attaching another report that concurs withe the one I sent via the group
previously. I will locate the links, meantime. I also wanted to add my
own words - gathered through my own studies, that it is NOT the case that
there are 'new' strains of Parvo that cannot be treated with the first
shots.
