My dog was exposed to a parvo survivor. Is he at risk of infection?

Question

Hi, what if my dog had intimate contact with a parvo survivor? Would he be infected? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 6 months old | 6 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

If Rocky is vaccinated for parvo, he will be safe. If he's not vaccinated, the answer to your question depends on how long ago this dog had parvo. Dogs with parvo can shed the virus for at least two weeks after exposure.
