Parvovirus: Why It Matters<\/h2>\n

Parvo at a Glance<\/h3>\n

What is it?<\/b>
<\/b> A highly contagious virus that affects a puppy\u2019s intestines, causing severe illness (vomiting, diarrhea\u2014often bloody). It spreads easily through contaminated surfaces, environments, and even shoes, and can survive for months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • High mortality rate if untreated<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Treatment can require hospitalization and be costly<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Prevention is the safest approach<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The vulnerable window:<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Puppies receive protection from mom (colostrum) until ~6\u201310 weeks<\/span><\/li>\n
    • This protection fades just as vaccines are starting<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Vaccines take 10\u201314 days and multiple doses to be effective<\/span>
      <\/span>>> <\/span>Most vulnerable around 8\u201310 weeks of age (often when puppies go home)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What we do at EverSummer Minis:<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Clean, controlled environment (including steam cleaning from ~6 weeks)<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Veterinary exam + first vaccines at ~7 weeks<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Vaccine schedule every 3 weeks (7, 10, 13, 16 weeks)<\/span>
        <\/span> (or every 4 weeks in coordination with your veterinarian)<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
      • Early Parvo-specific vaccine (NeoPar) at ~5 weeks for added protection<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Your takeaway:<\/b>
        <\/b> Awareness\u2014not fear. With thoughtful precautions, you can significantly reduce risk while supporting healthy development.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Rabies Vaccine<\/h2>\n

        What is it?<\/b>
        <\/b> A legally required vaccine in most states that protects against a serious, fatal virus affecting the nervous system and transmissible to humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Schedule:<\/b><\/p>\n

          \n
        • First vaccine: ~16 weeks<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Booster: 1 year<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Then: every 3 years (depending on local regulations and your veterinarian)<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Save your Rabies Vaccine Certificate: Most Grooming places<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          What to expect after vaccination:<\/b><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Mild tiredness<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Slight decrease in appetite<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Small lump at injection site<\/span>
            <\/span> >> Typically resolves within 24\u201348 hours<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Call your vet if you notice:<\/b><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Persistent vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Facial swelling<\/span><\/li>\n

              Other Vaccines: Individualized Decisions<\/h2>\n

              What are they?<\/b>
              <\/b> Optional (non-core) vaccines your veterinarian may recommend:<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              • Leptospirosis<\/span><\/li>\n

              • Bordetella (kennel cough)<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Canine Influenza (flu)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                When to consider them:<\/b><\/p>\n

                \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Higher social exposure:<\/b><\/p>\n

                  \n

                  • Drinking from creeks, ponds, puddles<\/span>
                    <\/span> \u2714 Consider Leptospirosis\/ Lime<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    \u00a0<\/span>Lower exposure lifestyle:<\/b><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • Mostly home environment<\/span><\/li>\n
                    • Limited interaction with unknown dogs<\/span>
                      <\/span> \u2714 Additional vaccines may not be needed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      Your takeaway:<\/b>

                      Parasites & Deworming<\/h2>\n

                      Why it matters:<\/b>
                      <\/b> Intestinal parasites are very common in puppies. They can be passed:<\/span><\/p>\n

                        \n
                      • Before birth<\/span><\/li>\n
                      • Through mother\u2019s milk<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        Our protocol:<\/b>
                        <\/b> We use <\/span>Pyrantel<\/b>, a safe and well-tolerated dewormer:<\/span><\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • 3 weeks<\/span><\/li>\n
                        • 5 weeks<\/span><\/li>\n
                        • 7 weeks<\/span><\/li>\n
                        • 9 weeks (if still with us)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          \u2714 Effective for: roundworms, hookworms<\/span>
                          <\/span> \u26a0 Not effective for all parasites (e.g., coccidia)<\/span><\/p>\n

                          Our approach with adult dogs:<\/b><\/p>\n

                            \n
                          • Annual fecal testing<\/span><\/li>\n
                          • Treat only if needed<\/span><\/li>\n
                          • No routine preventative deworming<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            (Lower risk due to limited exposure\u2014no hunting or wildlife contact)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

                            What happens when your puppy goes home?<\/b>
                            <\/b> Your veterinarian may recommend additional testing or treatment depending on your location and risk factors.<\/span><\/p>\n

                            Quick note:<\/b>
                            <\/b> Mild soft stool can happen with transitions (food, stress).<\/span>

                            What is it?<\/b>
                            <\/b> A parasite transmitted by mosquitoes that lives in the heart and lungs, causing serious disease over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

                            Why it matters:<\/b><\/p>\n

                              \n
                            • Can be life-threatening<\/span><\/li>\n
