Puppy exposed to parvo before vaccine: Can he still get sick?

Question

My puppy was exposed to Parvo over 10 days ago. He got his shot yesterday, but my other dog died this morning. Can he still get Parvo? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 25 days old | 5 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

The incubation period for parvo is 7-14 days, so unfortunately, Deisel can still get parvo. Receiving the vaccine yesterday will not prevent him from getting it, as he was exposed previously to receiving the vaccine. I'm very sorry your other dog died! I would monitor Deisel, and take him into the vet immediately if he shows any symptoms of parvo.
