| Crap! (Literally)
I took Mina (~10 weeks) to my girlfriends brothers house last night to hang out. He doesn't have a dog, so I thought it would be safe for her to be there (she doesn't yet have all her shots).
I took her out to pee, and she made contact with something elses poo! It looked too large to be from a cat, but it wasn't that big. My girlfriends brother said that sometimes the neighbors chuiwawa (sp?) poo's on their lawn. Mina had the poo in her mouth! I don't think she swallowed any, though.
So, how at-risk is she? Mina has had 2 rounds of shots, with the 2nd one being just on Friday. I went to the vet this morning to drop off a fecal sample (as part of the "puppy package" - looking for different types of worms), and asked if there was any preemptive things we could do, and was told there was not.
I would hate to have my dog fall victim to Parvo or something....
Any idea how bad this is? I'm kinda stressing out about it. How long would it take symptoms of Parvo (or any other disease she could contract) to show themselves? Is her young age a benefit, because of the "temporary immunity" puppies receive from breast feeding from their mothers? Is the fact that she had her 2nd shot on Friday a good or a bad thing?
Wow....I'm really stressing out. I hope she's going to be OK. Hopefully it was cat poo, or if it was a dogs, that that dog doesn't carry any diseases!  |
