I always worry about parvo in young puppies, and I'm probably overly paranoid about it. But Avery and Biscuit are fully vaccinated, they've both been out and about in the world, and we've all been homebodies for the couple of weeks before Avery became ill. It's likely that a day trip to the vet for a shoulder injury was the potential exposure for Avery, and then Biscuit was exposed to Avery. It never occurred to me that my older puppies would be at-risk and contract parvo. But now I know, it can and does happen, and I've heard from many people who have been through the same thing with their older puppies.
So to lighten things up, once Biscuit came home (Monday, a much thinner version of his former self), he began a Free The Biscuit campaign, because he believes he's being unfairly incarcerated. With the other dogs and Olive and Brecon (formerly Mr. Brindle) visiting, I want to minimize the exposure Avery and Biscuit have with the other dogs.
Biscuit's grassroots effort really took off and has support from around the world, mostly because of a slight misunderstanding by other dogs. See, other dogs, like Spencer and Scout, thought the campaign was a FREE BISCUIT campaign. haaa.
So to prevent further confusion, Biscuit has hired Avery as his new campaign manager.

Avery decides that her voice has not been heard, so she decides to start shouting the Free The Biscuit campaign slogan.
Just a few more days and we can consider the cycle broken as long as nobody else gets sick. I'm hopeful, and the other dogs are all doing well so far. All paws crossed that this is all behind us now. Free The Biscuit! Free The Biscuit! Free The Biscuit!

I am not a Facebooker so I hadn't heard the news. How can fully vacinnated pups still come down w/ Parvo? I hope everything is back to normal asap.
Taryn, I had the same question, but what I've found to be the answer is, "it can happen." I've heard from so many who have had the same experience. the only other time I had heard of it prior to this was several years ago, a friend's 5-6 month old Terv puppy got parvo after being fully vaccinated. It has been a horrible ordeal, and I'm a major worrier anyway. Every day that goes by until the weekend I am thankful that nobody else has been sick.
I'm SO glad to see Mr. Biscuit looking somewhat chipper! And Avery too! Soon all of this will be a distant memory... Hang in there.
