Parvo virus is EXTREMELY contagious. We removed nearly everything from my house after Jinxie died, shampooed all the carpets, cleaned all the sheets, furniture, everything he came in contact with (since he was only there a few days, this was not as bad as it could have been). Cleaned anything we could (floors, etc) with bleach...including the cement walkway outside where he had walked. Parvo is a very hearty virus. Older dogs can get it, but can usually get through it. Puppies are not as strong and will usually die from it. I would think your vet could get the vaccine for it. If not, it is most like available online. I know we can purchase it online here from Canada but to buy it from within the US one has to be a Vet.
