Hi Suzanne,
It's what this site is ultimately about: arming people with the power of knowledge, so they can stand up to Dr. WhiteCoat and the Old School and partake in health care they know to be the best for their charges. Sometimes that'll mean firing their vet and moving to a new, more open minded one. Sometimes that one is at a distance and consults by phone, and the local vet provides emergency needs, which become less and less as the Natural Path is tread.
Parvo is a gut virus. It make perfect sense that illness after parvo vaccine is located in the gut, doesn't it? Like distemper in the nose or lungs and even foot pads. Or rabies (which, thankfully, you needn't deal with) disturbed the mental world of vaccinated animals.
