t until I treated for six months and then had an IGenex western blot, that I was CDC positive. I also test positive for parvo. I think all it takes is a little genetic weakness in our immune response genes to make us susceptible to infection. Then that infection makes us more susceptible to others. Some people get the infections, but never get sick.
As far as the herxing goes, that's a good indicator of infection. What other infections may you have that can cause herxing?
T free direct 0.96, reverse T3 serum 13.5. TPO 392 and thyroglobulin antibodies 1.0. Positive for Parvo B19 virus, IgG 4.5 and IgM 0.1. I have been taking Synthroid 100 mcg.and Cytomel 50 mcg. for 5 years. I have Hashimotos thyroid. I am at the end of the rope with headaches, chronic fatigue, muscle aches and weakness, weight gain, insomnia,dry hair and skin. I want to sleep all the time. Help this 54 year old female survive.
Although an autopsy would be the best way to find out why your puppy died, if you have any samples of the bloody stool left in the yard, you could take it to your veterinarian for a parvo test, since the virus is passed in the stool and is very hardy and can live for up to a year in the environment.
The vet may not have realized that Max wasn't vaccinated against parvo, and perhaps that's why he did not mention it as a possibility. If, in fact, it was parvo that killed Max, possibly your other dog was vaccinated against it before you got him? Again, IF it was parvo, that would explain why Max was vulnerable to the virus and not the other dog.
I love my new vet ! Not only did his clinic find out immediately why one of my dogs had diarrhea, even after two other vets missed it.... but my vet shares the same views that I have on vaccinations. I had taken one of my dogs to have her rabies shot and we did the vaccination. Afterwards, he noticed in my dog's previous medical records that I like to have titers ran first, before I vaccinate my dogs for other diseases.
I hope some of our other members will see your question, because I really don't know about yard disinfection for parvo. I know it's not easy to disinfect the inside of your home either since parvo can live quite a while.
For bacterial and control outside, you can try treating with a product called Consan Triple Action 20 (20-20-20 on the label). It's available at most garden supply stores for use outside as well as inside.
Are these results conclusive for being negative for HIV or do I need to get another ELISA again on 90 days post? The odds I've figured for myself are about 1/20,000,000,000 which makes me feel pretty good (using 3% incidence which is probably very high in the first place). I've also read that the difference between 82 and 90 days is irrelevant. However, it's just one of those things where a very slight possibility still seems uncomfortable.
Im pretty sure parvo is what dogs get..
i already pass the 3 month period to get tested for HIV
my question is , "HIV AG\AB test" after the three months it will be searching for the AB as well as it search for the AG if it found it,
so what is the method used to search for the AB in the (HIV AG\AB) test , 2- is is better than the method in Elisa AB test after 3 months , 3- if i did h="hiv AG\AB" test after three months " is it conclusive as if i did HIV Elisa AB test"
thanks in advance
No matte what generation for test method , elisa generation 2 ? 3 or 4 ? Someone said 3 month is conclusive but some said 6 month & 12 month . Which is the correct timetable for conclusive test result ? Last test was 177 days by elisa negative but don't know what generation , was this result conclusive ?
Or could it have been Parvo?
Parvo has symptoms as you described also.
Sorry for your loss. I have 4 rescues now, but have felt the sadness of a lost one.
A negative Western blot test means the ELISA test was a false positive test. The Western blot test can also be unclear, in which case more testing is done.
Negative tests do not rule out HIV infection. There is a period of time (called the "window period") between HIV infection and the appearance of anti-HIV antibodies that can be measured. This period is 3 months from exposure. However, negative WB at 45 days is certainly very encouraging.
