I got a new puppy and i let him touch anther puppy..?
Dogs can get parvo or any other disease just being in an area where another dog has been and that goes for worms too. You can bring Parvo or another disease home by petting an infected dog or on your shoes too so thats why you need to make sure your puppy is up to date on all of his shots and then wait a few weeks after that happens BEFORE taking him around other animals or places where other unvaccinated animals are hanging around.
Reply:If the other dog looked healthy and yours have the parvo shots dont' worry about it. He should be fine. Just keep him away from other dogs and in the backyard untill he is old enough to fight off illnesses like around 9 moths or so.
Reply:Don't freak out just ask a vet.
Reply:Not too worry.


Worms would be spread with longer close contact from eating or coming in contact with infected feces. (All puppies have worms, you will need to deworm your puppy regularly anyways).





Since your pup has had it's shots it should be fine. There is no reason to assume the other puppy has anything wrong with it, but encourage them to get their puppy's shots as well.


Such short contact should not give you any reason for concern.








Please check with the breeder or your vet for the schedule of regular deworming. We do it pretty often when they are young.
Reply:Well don't panic. If she has had most of her shots she should have some immunity. Puppies can contract parasites and diseases like parvo and distemper from other dogs, but one brief encounter is not the end of the world. Keep her away from unvaccinated dogs and mention the exposure to your vet at her last set of puppy shots, he may want to deworm her again. As long as she seems healthy and doesn't show symptoms I wouldn't worry, just be more cautious in the future.
Reply:The breeder that I bought my sheltie from told me not to let her around other animals until SHE had all of her shots which she got when she was 4 months old. I would contact a vet and see what they say. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but when in doubt about your puppies health always call an expert, they will give you free advice over the phone.
Reply:Don't panic, he has had shots, he will probably be fine. Did the other dog look sick? Watch the othe rdog for some time and watch yours too, obviously. If he is fine, don't worry. You need to de-worm him anyway, if you haven't done so already, but worms don't travel so easily. He also has been sprayed for fleas I guess, otherwise he must have some sort of protection, so don't panic.
Reply:I think you shouldn't let your puppy play with other puppies unless you know that the other puppies have had all their shots. It's not worth making your puppy sick if he does get sick. It's a good thing you're so protective.
Reply:NO...NO...NO..........not puppy touching...............YOU SICK BASTARD
