Pitbull parvo;  
Pitbull parvo; Pitbull vitamins and supplements;

Parvo pitbull ; exposure to Parvo ; immune system booster for Parvo:

Oh No !  I am so sorry for the loss of your pitbull to Parvo.  Now, your question is about the chi puppy and exposure to Parvo.  The answer is yes, it is possible.  The booter shots do take a little time to take effect and build a blood level.  Keep your fingers crossed and just see what happens.  If you see any signs of vomiting and loose stool please call the Vet ASAP.
Early intervention can sure help many parvo pups to survive.

Good food and supplements can help your pup's immune system to fight off the sickness.
You can start this baby onto some NuVET powder supplements per day - Just 1/4 of a teaspoon of NuVET per day will help to protect your chi.
