How very sad, so sorry for your loss.

Katie and Derek, my heart is broken for you both, prayers for you and little Roscoe.  I know how hard it is to lose these little ones, I lost my first little Emma to parvo ten years ago.  It took me several weeks to find another, my recent angel Emma Anne.  Please know I am thinking of you and I know she is playing at the Bridge with my Emma and others, they are safe and warm and happy.  We will see them again someday.  hugs to you both:)

Rebecca, I do think calling the breeder is a good idea and they might be able to work something out. However, bringing in a young puppy is probably not a good idea at this stage;  Parvo can live in the ground for many months and most puppies go through short spells of a week or so where their mom's immunity has waned and the vaccines have not taken effect yet;  a puppy can have its shots on time and still have points where it's vulnerable.  For that reason, most don't recommend bringing a puppy into a home where a dog recently was confirmed to have Parvo.   But it IS a good idea to contact the breeder if possible.

Hi Katie and Derek., Being that Roscoe was so young, were you able to call his breeder and tell them what happen. They might be willing or offer to give you a new puppy. And did they administer any parvo shot before you got him. No puppy will ever replace Roscoe. He will always be in your hearts.

Oh my, I am so sad for your loss of little Roscoe.  Thoughts and prayers are coming your way. It's never easy to lose a family member and one that was so young.  I know that Roscoe was loved and taken very good care of by his corgi parents.  {{{{HUGS}}}}

So sorry for your loss of your new little addition. It never is easy whether you have them for years or just starting to get to know them. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. Derek and I are so blessed to be showered with all of y'alls good wishes. Today was rough, we find ourselves at a loss for words when people ask how we are doing. They say it will get easier; I have faith that it will, but right now it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. So thanks again from the bottom of our hearts for your ongoing support.

Katie, Derek, and our little angel Roscoe.

PS - We have already notified the office at our apartments and there is now a post up about Parvo and Roscoe. Luckily the apartments that we are at require all dogs/pups to be up to date with all of their shots in order to live in the complex. Thanks for your concern.

I was so sad to read your new post. I'm so sorry...

Again, I could not be more sorry for your loss but Beth is correct, this is a highly contagious virus. Any other unvaccinated dogs are at risk. If and when you reach a point to try again I would only consider a pup that has had all its shots. An older pup or dog. Really sad...
