How very very sad Val.
I have Raspberry innoculated against Parvo, but i swear that's what her mum, my lovely little baby Sukibear died from.
She had always had yearly boosters, but i took her to to the vets for a minor ailment and we had to wait a couple of hours because she had an emergency, a dog had been brought in with parvo and was very poorly.
Within 2 days Sukibear had died, the vet suspected Parvo but could'nt see how, when she was up to date with her injections.
Parvo virus is a terrible, terrible thing to watch an animal die from.
I miss my little bear every single day. :-1

Val, will you be following this story? It will be interesting to see what the "officials" decide to do about this. Is there any concern about the parvo being spread to domestic pets, I wonder?

Bullet's trial was a farce. Can I get an AMEN?????
We won't be punished for our sins, but BY them.

I don't think there's a chance of spread to domestic pets, I will try to
follow and update.
Strange as it may sound, I think just letting the parvo run its' course
might be the best. Maybe its's one of nature's way of population control.
I've always loved wolves, they are some of the MOST beautiful creatures.

Probably not, since wolves want nothing to do with us or our dogs, and I can't recall how it's spread? I know distemper can survive in parks, etc, in the feces of dogs for years, (WHICH IS WHY VACCINATING YOUR PETS IS SO IMPORTANT, PEOPLE!!!) but I don't remember about parvo....(how weird is that?)

Could be, but you know us humans, we've always got to meddle in stuff like this....sheesh....

One of my favorites, too. I really like the big Saskatchewan cruisers. Wow.
I read a book when I was a young teenager about 50 times called "Big Mutt" about a posse of ranchers who set out across the Dakota's Badlands to track a sheep killing mutt and they talked about those big Canadian wolves....great story.
Sorry for the sidetrack there!

When we first got Tamsen as a baby pup (hijacking my own thread here!)
and we took her to the vet for her puppy shots, he said "Socialize, socialize
socialize" and then practically in the next breath it was "Parvo, parvo, parvo"
and warned us against taking her anywhere we weren't really sure the dogs
had their shots!! No dog parks, no pet stores, nuthin'. You can bring it in
on your shoes, even. It lives through all but the coldest temps, and bleach
is about the only thing that kills it.
Tamsen didn't get socialized as well as she should have as a result, but
she was my first gsd and I didn't realize the extreme need! I couldn't see
driving 2 hours one way to my parent's house becvause I knew they
vaccinated their dogs!
Nasty stuff, that parvo.
