I supposed to have a little dog by now (chihuahua) i havent get it yet because they told me shes been around another dog infected with parvo.. so she might be infected also

I already got her heath insurance with petsmart, she is covered for the parvo shots... should i get her now, or should i wait until they know if she got the virus or not?

Can she get a shot before you are sure if shes infected or you can just get that done anytime?

I got another dog also, a miniature dober-man 1yr old, he already got his shots.

My dog had Parvo when he was 3 months old...he would have died in three days if not properly treated. It took 1 1/2 weeks for him to recover and be braught home from the vet. Contact the person who took the dog from you (I'm not really sure if you brought it to the vet or back to the breeder?)Anycase..They should have been in contact with you by now to tell you how the dog is doing. Parvo acts very fast and kills a dog within days.....it's been a while now so they should have told you what has happened by now. I am very sorry to hear about this situation. Best of luck and I hope you get some answers from who ever has your dog.

What happened is this...
My uncle offer me a dog, we supposed to pick her up when she got 2mo old, that was last saturday, we call him to make arangements to pick her up, since he lives 4hr away from us.. he said a dog infected with parvo has been around the puppies so he took them to the vet, and he told him he should wait about 6 days to see if the dogs got infected or not.

Right after he told us about him giving us the dog, we went to Petsmart and get her the health plan, and it does cover parvo shot... but i dont know if its only preventive or a cure. When i called PetsMart to aks a vet, they told me i should bring the puppy to them if she has been expossed, they also told me my other dog is not in risk since he had his parvo shot while ago.

So i dont know...

Should i bring her and take her to petsmart for them to run test, or should i wait til they know if she is already infected?

I called him miniature doberman cause thats what he looks like.. can care less about the REAL name of the breed, i did not mean to insult your inteligence.

Now, the boy is fixed already so we have nothing to worrie about, the new girl is being fixed also when is time for her

And they dont have any blood-relationship between them... they both come from different places, but they both have some jack russel on them

And no, my uncle does not have min pins, chihuahas and jack russell's... he aint a breeder... he just got a girl chihuahua who played around... EHHEHE
