3 year old dog parvo question?

hi we just lost 2 dogs over the weekend to parvo, one was 8 weeks and the other was a year old. i have a 3 year old yorkie poo how has had 3 shots of vanguard which is for parvo and distemper. we took him 2 days ago and had him tested for it and they said he didn't have. i know the test isn't 100% cause parvo can live ina dog for 7-10 without showing any signs. i just took him out for a walk and he pooped, and it was completely diarrhea but it wasn't a firm stool, and it looked a little red.

Answer

 

 

I don't know the answer, you should call your vet. What I DO know is that parvo is highly contagious and it can live in the infected ground/yard for 5 years, so you may not be able to keep a dog for that long without it contracting parvo. I don't know if there's any way to sterilize the ground for it to be safe, either....there again, talk to your Vet!
