When is it safe for my exposed Yorkie to be near my puppy after Parvo?

Question

Hi i recently had a dog that passed. We took her to our vet but they were not able to save her. They also never told us what she had. We also have a small 5 pound yorkie mix that was in contact with our dog that passed. We never thought anything of it and brushed off as our dog dying from cancer despit. About a week after her passing we got a new pup. 5 days after she started showing the same symptoms our dog that passed had! She had parvo! When should i bring my yorkie back around my pup?

\i'm sorry for your loss. if your dog is not vaccinated then you need to wait at least 2 weeks after your puppy recovers from parvo, you will need to sterilized your house very well before you do that (a lot of cleaning with bleach!).
