I just got a puppy from the house across the way. Some of the pups have come down with parvo. What are the chances of my pup getting parvo?

Parvovirus is highly contagious. Most cases are seen in puppies 6 weeks to 6 months old. The more common intestinal form leads to vomiting, diarrhea, not eating, weight loss. The uncommon form attacks the heart muscles of very young puppies and can lead to death.
