Morgan,
Can you follow up with what happened after this post? I have the same issue right not. My foster puppy, exposed a few times with nosodes, titered very high for distemper but not for parvo. One visit was a dog park, the rest were the elementary school where all the neighbors take their dogs. But, the puppy was between 12-15 weeks old. Dr. Falconer, are there maternal antibodies to individual diseases? I am trying again and hoping for the best. Thank you! Kelly
Hey Morgan,
Yes, I think the likelihood is your choice of "moderate to high dog traffic" area wasn't quite busy enough. Parvo is far more common than distemper, and it's ubiquitous in areas frequented by dogs. I'd repeat the limited exposure in a busier canine gathering place (provided you're not hearing about dog flu in your locale -- if so, you may want to wait till that sorts itself out).
