There are strains of Parvovirus that can be harmful to humans. However, each type of Parvovirus is specific to one species, so Canine Parvovirus cannot hurt a human.
Parvo virus does affect humans and although it usually is a mild disease it can be very serious in young children
No, and it is not good to give animals medication designed for humans without vet guidance. Many human medications can kill an animal. Parvo does not just cause stomach issues. It can attack their heart and immune systems. If a dog has parvo, it is very important to get them to a vet ASAP. This is a disease that can quickly kill an animal. They will need aggressive treatment for about a week, including IVs and a variety of medications.
The true and cheapest product is BLEACH! Of course there is stuff on the market that will kill parvo but the best is bleach 30% to 70%. I had a rottweiler survive parvo and they had told me that she won't get it again but other puppies can get it.
Parvo is very contagious to unvaccinated dogs and puppies. It is not contagious to humans.
The above answer is totally incorrect-It is IMPOSSIBLE to catch parvo from another species! Cats cannot get parvo. They can catch what is called Feline Distemper which is like parvo, but it only happens in cats, they cannot catch it from anything else besides cats, and it is not actually parvo. Same thing with Rodents- rodents can catch something that is "like" parvo but it is not the actual parvo virus.To sum this up only canines can get parvo.
They can get a form of feline Parvo called Panleukopenia Virus. It's alot like the dog's parvo virus but only cats can get it. we had an out break of it when we rescued a new litter of kittens, all of the kittens died because they were unvaccinated, we have 4 older cats who were vaccinated & they are just fine it didnt effect them. Its spread through sharing living area's & eating out of the same bowl, as well as drinking out of the same water dish as an infected cat. Areas infected with feline panleukopenia need to be disinfected with a bleach solution. There is also treatment available. Prevention through routine vaccination is extremely effective.
A puppy of ANY breed of dog that is suspected to have Parvovirus needs immediate vet care. Parvo can kill a puppy within hours.
No. Parvo is a disease ONLY in dogs that attacks the cells in the GI tract. This disease is not zoonotic (humans cannot catch it) and neither can felines. Felines can get another form of parvo called panleukopenia unrelated to Parvo with similar symptoms. But dogs can't catch it from cats and vice versa.Source: Veterinary Technician at an emergency and specialty hospital.
no, horses can't get parvo, parvo is a disease that puppies get.
