Question

Siri is a parvo survivor. Is there a chance that she’ll get the virus again? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 7 days old | 15 lbs

It is in the same family as chicken pox for people, so once you get and build an immune response, you cannot get it again. The only catch to this is if the disease was not very aggressive and they were not very sick, then they may not have built an immune response. Despite these, the vaccine does protect against different diseases and should be continued on a normal schedule
