you guys know there's a vaccine for this, right?
There wasn't at the time. I haven't bred dogs in the last several years so I don't keep up with stuff for them.
I was so riled up over our resident rabble rousers that I erred in this post.
Of course we had vaccines. I ordered the Seven Way from KV VET SUPPLY and it was shipped in via Next Day Air with dry ice. All the pregnant bitches got it prior to whelping and the pups at weaning.
We were told that pups "outgrow" the immunity every 2 to 3 weeks until they are 4 to 6 months old. Don't know if that's true, but my dogs WERE vaccinated.
I lived a long way from any neighbors and never hunted with anyone else, so I've never figured where the virus came from. There are a lot of similar stories which led to the idea that the virus can be carried in the wind.
I personally doubt that.
