Parvo kills - but this time the dog was lucky ...

A few days ago this Spitz was brought to our clinic. She had bloody diarrhoea, was very weak and had already water in her lungs.

The last Parvo cases all ended lethal but she looked hardy and strong and responded immediately to the infusion and injections. The survival rate for your dog with that virus is minimal and the disease can easily be avoided with a yearly vaccination.



We always preach that prevention is better than cure!
And this case proofs is so clearly:
We treated the Spitz and her brother and the bill for medication, care, boarding, transport, disinfection and cleaning (the virus is highly contagious) got high. The dogs could have been given their yearly booster for their whole life.

Yearly boosters and regular deworming are a must for a healthy pet!

Vaccinate your Pet!

Today we had two serious cases of canine parvovirus.
Prevention is the only way to ensure that your dog remains healthy because the disease is extremely virulent and contagious.
Survival rate depends on how quickly CPV is diagnosed, the age of the animal and how aggressive the treatment is. However, even with hospitalization, there is no guarantee that the dog will be cured and survive.

Signs of parvo are:

• lethargy
• vomiting
• fever
• diarrhea (usually bloody)
• loss of appetite

Please check your pet certificate! If you are not sure bring your pet and the certificate to the clinic and let our doctors check on it. Prevention is far cheaper than a treatment.
