Again, this is similar to what happens when the immune system makes IgG and IgM
antibodies against parvo virus.
If there is any amount of titer, then there are circulating
antibodies against the parvo or distemper virus.
Not exact matches
When puppies are too young to be vaccinated
against the
parvo virus and they have not been protected by maternal
antibodies as a result of vaccination of a breeding female, they lack the defenses to fight
against this aggressive virus.
If her were my dog, given the immune sensitivity of this breed, I would ask your local vet to measure vaccination
antibody titers
against parvo / distemper.
Parvo presents a unique difficulty with regards to getting puppies protected
against it: like all mammals, puppies receive protective
antibodies from their mothers in the colostrum, or first milk, that they receive in the first 48 hours of life.
We can also measure whether your dog needs a booster by testing their vaccine titres to see whether they have
antibodies at a protective level
against distemper and
parvo.
