My 3 year old red nose Pit Bull played with two puppies that had parvo. One puppy died 4 days ago the other didn't, but has been diagnosed with parvo and he is not looking too good now. My Pit has had all her shots and is doing well, but should I still be worried? If I take her in before showing any signs will the vet be able to detect the virus? I am kinda worried now and the people that have this puppy keep coming over to my apartment.

Yes you should not have the dog around the other dog with parvo.Tell them to leave the puppy at home until he is clear of parvo.
Is your dog ok? I recently got a pup who is now being treated for Parvo. My 8 yo dog was in contact with him for 4 days. Im very worried!
Parvo is a highly contagious virus. That being said the canine strain can not infect cats or kittens. It is specific to dogs and puppies. Next thing bleach will kill the virus it's 1:30 mixture. Steam also will kill it. I put a bleach mixture in my shark steam mop and mopped everyday. I also did not resuse mop pads. Everything was washed with bleach and hot water. I threw up toys and other items that could be replaced. I also put my infected dog in one area of my house and my others were more than six feet from her with two gates separating them. I changed my clothes when I was with my infected dog and I had other clothes I wore with my dogs that were not infected. I bleached the dogs dishes and washed them throughly. I also washed my dog with parvo down and when she was sick I wiped her down with disposal wet wipes. I washed my other dogs in their area. No contact between the infected and non infected dogs. I don't allow shoes wore outside in my home.
Why continue to worry?
Call your vet and ask your question - be sure you talk with someone you believe can professionally advise you about this serious virus.
My ?;is it ok to give a puppy at 7 weeks old a parvo shot if his sister's died the night
before
You should contact a vet about this question. If the puppy was around the one with parvo, it's likely that they have already contracted the virus, as it is very contagious. It might be too late for the vaccine.
From what I know your dog should be fine. But you may want to point out to your neighbors that they can carry the virus on their clothes and shoes. They need to be especially careful around other dogs, especially puppies for awhile.
Your dog should be protected from parvo, but I wouldn't go near a dog that is sick on purpose.
