Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Four days ago my 3-months old otherwise very healthy puppy came down with parvo. Nothing unusual in Nepal apart from the fact that the puppy had received DHPPL vaccine on December 7, and again a booster 10 days ago. In between it got anti-rabies vaccine. In this case they came from Holland but I have used American vaccines for my other dogs. According to the vet parvo is a common disease even among fully vaccinated pets. He says parvo is mutating fast and that the imported vaccines (from Europe and US) are insufficient. Who can shed his/her light on this issue? Which vaccines can be recommended? Does any research take place in Asia into new strands of parvo? What measures should be taken to prevent parvo in unhygienic countries such as Nepal apart from basic cleanliness? -- Lucia de Vries Freelance Journalist Bagdol, Patan, Nepal Wijk 4-47, 8321 GE Urk, Holland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
