Do vets tell you about parvo cases? Can parvo spread via thermometers?

Question

Are vets obligated to inform you if they had a dog in office with parvo? Also can dogs contract parvo via the anus? For example a rectal thermometer? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 15 lbs

Hi. No, we are not obligated to inform others. But.. we are obligated to do our best to prevent spread asap. Bleach, room closures, technician no longer with other puppies, gowns, etc). It is spread via fecal oral route
