Perhaps you can share with another breeder. You will need multiple shots  for 
a little puppy. (The $69.00 for 25 individual doses costs less than the full  
complement of shots your vet would give.)  Syd

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_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.
Lynne  Davis

To:  Local Veterinarians, Groomers, Boarding Facilities,  Rescue 
Groups, and  Shelters 
From: Wendy Swift DVM, Veterinary  Medical Director of the HSKC  
Date: August 20, 2008 
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.
