Milligan said he took Bear to his store on Sunday while his family went to church. He said the puppy was kept in a quarantine room in the back.
According to veterinarian Dr. Alix McGrath, director of shelter medicine at the Idaho Humane Society, it would be “very concerning” to put a dog with a positive parvo diagnosis in an environment that’s not completely isolated.
“We’ll isolate patients immediately if we suspect parvo, because the risks are just too grave,” McGrath said.
