Everything I have says 10 to 14 day incubation period.
[ Remember this virus is literally everywhere: every carpet, floor, yard and park. And, it only takes a tiny portion of infected stool, which doesn't even have to be fresh, but can be months old, to infect a non-immune dog. The puppy can ingest the virus by sniffing or eating infected stool, or by cleaning himself, or by eating food off the ground or floor. It only takes a microscopic amount of stool to infect a puppy.
Parvo can be brought home to your dog on shoes, hands and even car tires. So, your puppy can contract Parvo even if he never leaves your yard. It is speculated that even a bird invading your dog's food dish can deposit the Parvovirus there. Insects and rodents may also spread the disease. Parvo is also airborne. ]
Yes, they can shed some parvo in their stool after 3 days after exposure, I know that, but she only was at our house for 4 days before she showed signs. And i have no infected parvo dogs in my yard, but yes, parvo is also airborne. Ok, so lets say for arguments sake, she got it at my house and we didn't know that someone brought home Parvo on their shoes while walking one of our dogs. Ok, so....that solved, i won't blame the breeder.
But i aksed for help, suggestions here, not to be treated like i am being treated by some people. Cesar Milan is not the "God" of dog trainers, i actually e-mailed him and got an automated response back saying he was to busy with his t.v. show and was not taking new clients. I waited a few months and e-mailed again, got the response of "you need to video tape the dog attacking and send it in to us, if we 'have the time' and not busy with t.v. shows, we may see if we can help you" what the heck kind of answer was that. A neighbor sent him a message asking for help on her dog that kills cats when they go thru the yard, his answer was "video tape the dog killing the cat, blah blah blah" like she's going to sit there and video tape the dog in the act of murder, not gonna happen.
As for reading body language, i just said i can see when she is going to do it, you can see it in her face and her body movements. We correct it before it happens and then she will sneak around behind you really fast and do it anyway.
As for mentioning also her fear and her anxiety, people are asking which is my real problem, which one am i coming here for help on, both or i wouldn't mention her fear and anxiety.
And no, I am not 100% qualified to handle this situation, that is why i am seeking help. We are trying to do what we can with this dog to help her and not have to get rid of her, without having to pay a fortune. I realize dogs cost money, i have had them all my life, my kids were raised with them, and i take care of my animals very well. And it is not a sob story to pay for a dog with cancer, you try it, it's not cheap.
We enrolled her in training with a trainer when she first started having this aggression issue, it was a Shutzund trainer who boards and trains police dogs. So she has had some help, it didn't work. Even after us doing what they say to do at home it didn't work.
We did nothing wrong with the way we raised this pup, she has been a problem for a long time that most people would have just gotten rid of her. I feel we took on the dog as a pup, she's part of the family, and once in my household, she is my responsibility and i will not get rid of her because she has issues. That would be like putting your special needs child in a home because you just don't want to "deal with it".
Why is it so hard for some of you to understand that this dog may actually have some mental issues. Bad breeding, short circuit somewhere or something. You are all so quick to judge that it was US that did this to the dog. As mentioned before, i have had large breed dogs all my life and this is the first issue i've ever had, so it is not me.
We are not poor people, we are not rich people. I have bills to pay like anyone else. I just lost my mother, my father has moved in with us, i have vet bills to pay for other dogs (no a sob story, truth) children to fee, and I will not pay $250 an hour for a traiiner. I think it's an unreasonable amount of money and that is my personal opinion.
I want to thank you for your help which was nothing. Thank you for berating and putting me down and being so insulting. Hopefully when your children come home from school asking for help on something they have a problem with, whether it be personal or school, you don't just shove it down their throats and tell them they made the problem, they can fix it.
I am over 50 yrs old and you have treated and talked down to me like I am a child. You were all so helpful. Not !!!
