What is Canine Parvovirus

Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious viral illness that primarily affects dogs, particularly puppies and unvaccinated adults. It spreads through direct contact with infected feces or contaminated environments, making it prevalent in places where dogs congregate. The virus attacks rapidly dividing cells, notably affecting the gastrointestinal tract and causing severe symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea (often bloody), lethargy, and dehydration.

 

Clinical Impact of Canine Parvovirus

The disease progresses swiftly, leading to profound gastrointestinal distress and weakening the immune system. Early detection is pivotal for initiating timely treatment and supportive care, significantly influencing the prognosis and recovery of affected dogs.
