Several dogs in my area have died from the parvovirus including my Belgian Malinois / GSD mix (Kyra). Stephanie survived the parvo with little to no veterinary effort. Would Stephanie continually be getting infected or would she be immune at this age of over 1yr and 2 months old?

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Pet Coach. I am sorry about Kyra. Stephanie was exposed to parvo, and survived. She should have a strong immune system to fight off any future infections at this age. She should be immune to parvo. I hope she continues to do well.

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.
