* Vaccines are not 100% effective: While vaccines provide strong protection, they aren't foolproof. There's a small chance a puppy could still get parvo despite being vaccinated.
* Timing of vaccination: The second parvo vaccination is typically given around 16 weeks of age. However, full immunity takes about 10-14 days after the second dose. During this period, the puppy is still vulnerable.
* Individual factors: Some puppies might have a weaker immune system than others, making them more susceptible to the virus.
* Exposure: If a puppy is exposed to a very high dose of the parvovirus, they might still develop the disease even after being vaccinated.
**If your puppy has been vaccinated against parvo and shows any symptoms like:
* Vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Lethargy
* Loss of appetite
* Fever
* Bloody stools**
It's crucial to contact your veterinarian immediately.
While the risk of parvovirus after vaccination is lower, it's essential to continue practicing good hygiene and avoiding contact with sick animals. Remember, vaccination is the most effective way to protect your puppy from parvovirus.
