No, parvo is a virus, not a worm.
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.
Parvo is very contagious to unvaccinated dogs and puppies. It is not contagious to humans.
Cats do not get parvo; it is a canine virus that primarily affects dogs. Cats can, however, get a similar virus called panleukopenia, which is sometimes referred to as feline parvovirus, but it is a different virus that affects cats specifically.
No, the palmer worm, canker worm, and locust are not three stages of development of the same insect. They are different types of insects belonging to distinct species within the order of Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies for palmer and canker worms) and Orthoptera (locusts).
about the same as a regular worm.
The injects that your dog needs in order to immigrate to India are Rabies, Parvo, and heart worm. These are standard shots for all dogs regardless of travel status.
No. Once your dog has had parvo, it cannot get it again, same scenario as with chickenpox.
Its called a heart worm you can have your dog tested if negative start it on heart worm medicines if the dog has heart worms there are treatments for this also
NO
It has aortic arches which are objects similar to hearts. There are four aortic arches in a single worm.
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.
Cats and dogs can die it heart worm is left untreated. Call your vet.
No , Harts Rid worm is for intestinal worms (like tapeworms etc.) , and Heart Guard heartworm chewable tabs are to prevent heartworms.
Heart dorm, Cart storm
the fat ring around a worm is where its heart is.
The parvovirus that infects dogs and causes severe gastrointestinal disease is generally not infectious to humans. It is possible the virus may be found on routine biopsy screening done for a very sick child, but I do not believe it would have medical significance.
the same reson it dosent need a brain, because all it has to do is dig, dig, dig
