There is a local, excellent, training facility in Seattle called Ahimsa Dog Training. The owner, Grisha Stewart, posted a recent update on the parvo outbreak in this area. She spoke with one of the vets at ACCES, an emergency veterinary clinic in the region. She quotes:
He [the vet] mentioned that the increase in cases was “significant, but it is
not an epidemic.” The dogs who were sick were all treated and survived,
and they seemed to have an incomplete vaccination history. So the
vaccination probably would have protected them.
The good news is that it does not appear to be a new strain, although
they are sending the culture out for testing. The number of cases has
dropped back down to normal.
