What is parvo?

Answer 1

Parvo is Deadly virus that puppies contract. It starts out in the immune system and slowly weakens the pup. Once the dogs immune system is weakened the virus moves to the bowls where the virus starts to tear at the walls of the intestines causing bloody stools. The parvo virus also like to incubate in the lymph nodes which helps distributes the blood through the dogs body. Which will allow the virus to travel through the body faster.

When treating the parvo virus, the vets protocol is to keep the dog hydrated and pump them with antibiotics. Which is good because the parvo virus also creates secondary infections which the antibiotics will heal. but the vets protocol dose nothing for treating the actual virus, they claim it does but the average success rate for a vet when dealing with parvo is 50%. Only because the vets dont have anything that will fight against the virus. But there is a product out there called Parvaid which actually has three ingredients that help fight off the virus and treat the problems associated with parvo.

The canine parvovirus (CPV) infection is a highly contagious viral illness that affects dogs. The virus manifests itself in two different forms. The more common form is the intestinal form, which is characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and lack of appetite (anorexia). The less common form is the cardiac form, which attacks the heart muscles of very young puppies, often leading to death. The majority of cases are seen in puppies that are between six weeks and six months old. The incidence of canine parvovirus infections has been reduced radically by early vaccination in young pup

Answer 4

When dogs have Parvo they tend not to eat or drink anything. They will hide underneath anything that is cool such as a house. They will also throw up blood and cough alot. The easiest way to prevent this is to give them their Parvo shot or their 7-in-1 shot while they are young. Dogs 5 mos. and up usually do not get it.
