My vaccinated dog was exposed to parvo. Are her puppies safe?

Question

The other dog (Kyra) just died of Parvovirus last night but I fear the Stephanie may also be infected. Her urine has a strong odor which I clean up with strong bleach solution. Both Kyra and Stephanie where fully vaccinated with DHLPP and Anti-rabbies. I am informed that the vaccination was not done correctly at two weeks interval instead of four weeks interval. Should I be worried about Stephanie's health and would the Parvovirus affect Stephanie's puppies later on when she is pregnant? Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 6 days old | 76 lbs

You are correct to be worried however, there is not much that you can do at this point. It is also possible that Kyra just did not have a strong enough immune system and that is why the vaccinations did not work. Stephanie may be fine. There is no way to predict. If I were you, I would vaccinate Stephanie now with just one dose of the parvo vaccine. Get it from your vet where you know the vaccine has been stored and handled properly. If Stephanie gets parvovirus and survives there should be no long term effects.
