Progard is considered the best vaccine for
parvo by almost every veterinary school, and by independent testing
universities and labs. I had parvo for a year, could not get rid of it. I was
raising
puppies elsewhere. Progard came out, and I tried it, and never had parvo
again. syd

I called Schering-Plough(SP) this morning and spoke with one of their Vets
in Animal Health. He indicated that there is currently no vaccine available
in the US indicated for CPV-2C. Some of the vaccines for CPV 2A&2B will
provide some moderate cross protection for "mild" cases of CPV-2C. I did
not ask how one can have a mild case of CP. This vet also indicated that
the CPV-2C virus has been seen in "Michigan, the mid-west and a couple of
cases have been presented in California".he was no more specific than what I
have indicated.
A search of the internet, came up with only one vaccine (3 versions)
specific to CPV-2c and they are Nobivac DHPPi
<http://customers.intervet.co.uk/products_customers/nobivac_dhppi/010_overvi
ew.asp> , Nobivac Parvo-C
<http://customers.intervet.co.uk/products_customers/nobivac_parvo_c/010_over
view.asp> and Nobivac DHP by Intervet UK . Intervet was acquired by SP
late last year. The vet at SP did not know anything about Intervet's CPV-2C
vaccines.
I contacted Intervet.Their Vet (Dr. Rainforth) advised that ProGuard
(Intervet) & Continuum (SP) vaccines are produced from the same CPV strain
as the Nobivac vaccines and will protect against CPV-2C. Dr. Rainforth gave
her approval for me to post her assurance. I am unfamiliar with ProGuard,
but it is a vaccine used by Colorado State University's Small Animal
Veterinary Teaching Hospital in the development of their current vaccination
protocol.
One other note.I came across an article (European) which advised that
vaccines for CPV-2A&B will provide sufficient protection against 2C..the
point made in the article was that dogs who were incapacitated by 2C were
not properly inoculated (timing/titer issue when initially vaccinated).
Nevertheless, I have ordered the ProGuard, due to having a new litter on the
ground (J-LO x Bronson J) and my plans to attend the upcoming Canadian &
American Nationals.

[michdogrescue] New Parvo Strain hits West MI
Please feel free to cross-post.

Groups, and Shelters

Re: Please Read!!!!!! New Parvo Strain Hits West Michigan
Parvo 2c has been suspected as the cause of death for at least three
adult canines in Kent County and surrounding areas. Two of the three
dogs had a known previous vaccine history and tested positive on the
Idexx Snap Parvo Test. The most current information on Parvo 2c from
the vaccine/shelter medicine specialists around the country is as
follows:
Disease: Parvo 2c is a highly virulent strain of the parvo virus that
is extremely fatal in puppies and adult dogs. This strain of parvo
attacks the circulatory organs approximately 24 hours before
attacking the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, by the time a dog is
presented for lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea it is generally too
late.
Diagnosis: Parvo 2c is detectable on the Idexx Snap Test, but it has
been showing as a weak positive on many tests. Viral isolation is the
best way to confirm the diagnosis, but it is not going to assist with
diagnosis upon presentation.
Treatment: Conservative treatment with supportive care has been
rarely successful. Plasma transfusions from recovered dogs have shown
to yield the best treatment success at around 64% survival rate.
Prevention: Schering-Plough (SP) and Intervet vaccinations have been
proven to be 100% effective in preventing this strain of parvo. If
you have any questions in regards to SP vaccinations please call 1-
800-224-5318 (SP technical support). Fort Dodge vaccines were
effective in less than 90% of the tested dogs/puppies, Pfizer was
less than 70% effective in preventing disease, and Merial was less
than 50% effective. This data was obtained from an independent
source, and at this time the only published data is an article from
Schering-Plough (S/P).
Cleaning Protocols: There are only two products that kill this virus
with a ten minute contact time. Trifectant and bleach (1/2 cup/gallon
dilution) will successfully kill Parvo 2c. All other products that
claim to kill parvo are not effective per Dr. Hall (Vaccination/
Shelter Specialist at SP) !!!!!!
Prognosis: The prognosis is extremely poor. Most puppies or dogs die
acutely from the cardiac components of the disease process. If GI
signs are present, the disease has progressed and is most likely
fatal. Over seven veterinary clinics have seen this type of disease locally.
The
citizens of Kent County need to be aware of the risk associated with
this disease. Please inform your clients and protect the canines in
your area.
