Parvovirus, commonly known as parvo, primarily affects dogs and is characterized by symptoms such as severe vomiting, diarrhea (often bloody), lethargy, and loss of appetite. In puppies, it may also present with a distinct foul-smelling stool. The virus can cause damage to the intestinal lining and immune system, leading to dehydration and severe illness. If you suspect a pet has parvo, it's crucial to seek veterinary care immediately.

Can animals and small rodents get parvo?

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.
