Can dogs catch feline parvo

Answer 1

A cat is not susceptible to Parvo, although it is believed to be related to a Feline Distemper virus. With that said, a cat can become exposed to Parvo via feces, etcetera, and carry the virus back on their paws or fur or in some similar way and infect dogs by being the transmitting agent. Rodents and the like can also carry the virus about in this fashion. The virus is very hardy and can last nine months off host on floors or the like. Proper vaccinination is the only way to be sure your dog is safe.

Answer 2

Yes they can. If not treated quickly and properly the infection can prove fatal. Follow the link for more information on symptoms and treatment. If the symptoms are apparent take the animal to the vet immediately.

Answer 3

No, cats cannot catch Parvo from a dog or any other source. However, cats are susceptible to another similar disease called Feline Panleukopenia (also called Feline Distemper-see related topics at the end of this document) which is closely related to Parvo. We have a vaccination for Feline Panleukopenia (often called the Feline Distemper shot). Hope this helps!

Answer 4

There is no such thing as feline parvo. The parvo virus is specific to dogs only. Cat can get many other diseases or viruses such as distemper, upper respiratory infections, feline leukemia which are all specific to the cat.

Answer 5

Technically, yes they can.

It is referred to a feline panleukopenia as well as feline parvo for one simple reason; it basically mimics all of the symptoms of canine parvovirus. It is not considered to be common but it can be just as deadly especially in younger cats or kittens.

In fact has historically been referred to by another name: "Cat Plague"

Answer 6

Only dogs are susceptible to Parvo, so the answer is no because cats don't get it.

Answer 7

NO.....they can not
