This is a repeat of something I posted in the Facts thread and the Cat's thread. It is especially important for small pets owners, or pet owners with small children in the home. I want to make sure everyone see's it who needs to!!

I saw a thing on the news Friday night about bogus flea products. (Advantage and Frontline) I think I might have bought some of them online. (I knew that deal was a little too good.) The thing is, the packaging is so good, even some local stores were fooled, and had ordered from these same people. Here's a link to the story. (Sorry if this is posted elswhere..)

Counterfeit Products Could Harm Your Pet

Pamy, I love seeing pics of your foster pups. You probably posted at one time about fostering: what type of organization you're affiliated with, what the fostering arrangement is, etc, but I missed it. Would you mind 'splaining again sometime?
Thank you!

THanks everyone! Ruthie..we get them from the local animal shelter. They are the strays/abandand/confiscated pups that are not 8 wks old...they must be 8 wks old to fix and be adopted, so instead of puttting them to sleep, or leaving them in a cage with no human interaction they have ppl foster them until they are 8 wks old and then they find good homes for them.

I am proud to say that we fostered over 100 dogs and all were adopted within a week (sadly we have had 3 die from illness, but at least they were loved in their litttle lifetimes)

I can't wait til the day I go to the Rainbow Bridge!

HELP!!! We have parvo in our backyard, we lost 2 puppies in the last few weeks and I think we are losing the little brown one above.

We took the last one to vet(the shelter will not pay for any tests, so we have to out of our pocket) and he said he had parvo..I am so broken hearted.

I read it is spread by feces or on the animals fur, so I assume of the foster pups came here with it, Bill has washed down everything but I wanted to know if anyone knows of something we can do/put on the grass to kill the parvo bacteria.

We are not taking anymore pups until we are sure there is no more killer parvo.

I can't take losing another pup.

Also...anyone know if parvo can be transfered to cats?
Thanks

Oh, Pamy -- I'm so, so sorry to hear that.

Here are a few links. The first one discusses how to get rid of the parvo, and transfer possibilities to humans/cats:

Pamy, I am feeling so awful for you right now!! We (the shelter) just lost a 2 year old JRT yesterday from parvo. She was in a pen with a beautiful little wire-haired terrier puppy, Wiggums. As of yesterday, he's OK, but I'm so scared to go there today. We had adopted the JRT out 3 weeks earlier and last Sat. she was brought back because she didn't like their 4 year old daughter. They traded her in for a beautiful, black, fluffy Border Collie mix we had named Patches. He looks like the one you posted above!! I just pray he's OK!!
Parvo is so hard to kill. We don't have concrete floors yet,and the parvo lives for up to 10 years in the soil. You have to dig down I think it's 2 feet to get it all. I'll be praying that your puppies will be OK!! You are so wonderful for fostering, and that is something I could NEVER do! I don't know how you can let them go!! LOL!! Good luck, and please keep us posted. OK?
On a good note, the concrete is being poured in the barn stalls at the shelter this week!! We are finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

Pamy, I am so sad about the pup. We had a puppy one time that had parvo and the vet told us to spray the backyard with bleach mixed with water. Just use any kind of yard spray container and we sprayed the entire back yard. Everybody, kids and any other animal could not get on it until it completely dried. Of course, I didn't let the kids or other dog out there for days but it did kill the parvo because none of our other animals ever got it. We also had to clean the area of the house that the dog slept in. Luckily she was still sleeping in her crate and we just threw that away. I certainly hope that things work out for you and you can get rid of the parvo so you can keep doing what you are so great at doing!!

Oh Pamy I'm so sorry. I have no advice to give you though. I just remember my vet scaring me to death about it with my dog.

Pamy, so sorry hon. I know it's heart breaking when losing a puppy. Hopefully, what others have posted will help you. You have amazing kindness and understanding when you foster. Good luck to you.

Ms.Owl So sorry for your loss too. Finally get to see a pic of the famous Spirit. :-) Ya know I had a lil dog like that when I was just a kid. His name was "Skippy". Brings back wonderful memories. I also want to commend you on the wonderful work you do with your local shelter

Thanks for the info Yankee and Owl!!!

Thanks to all of you for your support and kind words! It means a lot to me!!

We are going to have to bleach everything and wait at least 1 month before getting any new pups.

We are comming up on pup season so I am broken hearted that we can't have any but I can NOT go thru this saddness anymore.

I hope the month passes quickly, we might foster kittens in the meantime (oh that means...we will be proud owners of more cats very soon!! lol)

Awww Pamy, so sorry you lost those little guys. It must be heartbreaking for you all, but what you're doing for all those little puppies is wonderful. I hope you get over this bump soon. (((Pamy)))
