Canis parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious disease, commonly known as "intestinal translucent", and it is also called infectious hemorrhagic enteritis. CPV-2 is a pathogenic factor that causes acute hemorrhagic enteritis and myocarditis in dogs. It is one of the most common pathogens (100%). The mortality rate of adult dogs is as high as 10%, while the mortality rate of puppies is as high as 91%. In 1977, American scholars Eugster and Nairn first discovered the virus, and it was confirmed that the disease was prevalent in my country in 1983. Although CPV-2 has only been 42 years since its discovery, it has taken countless dogs' lives.

People who have raised dogs should have heard of the small ones. Small dogs are by far one of the most important infectious diseases that harm dogs and are prevalent around the world.

As a serious and highly contagious disease, small dogs often spread between dogs through direct or indirect contact with feces.

In other words, by eating the feces of the affected dog or just smelling the hind legs and buttocks of the affected dog, you may be infected with parvovirus. As you all know... Dogs like...

For those puppies that have not been vaccinated, tiny is undoubtedly fatal because their immune systems have not fully developed.

parativiruses are divided into two types, one is enteritis type and the other is myocarditis type, and their clinical symptoms are also different.

Enititis type: In dogs infected with enteritis parvovirus, their digestive system will be damaged by viruses. The dog's intestinal mucosa will be damaged, and it will cause symptoms of loss of appetite, fatigue, fever, and vomiting and diarrhea. The dog's feces will be liquid, like tomato sauce, and it is accompanied by a fishy smell. When the owner looks at the feces, he will know that the dog's physical condition is not good. This type of disease is more common than that of myocarditis. Its onset time is about 2-7 days. If it is not treated in time, it will be life-threatening.

Myocarditis type: The small myocarditis type will affect the dog's heart and chest health, and it will attack the dog's heart muscle cells. In addition to the onset of enteritis, dogs also have arrhythmia and difficulty breathing. Compared with enteritis type, the infection mortality rate of this disease is higher. If the dog is in serious condition, it will die within 24 hours. It is usually sudden death from myocardial infarction, and there will be no obvious signs before death, but this disease is relatively rare.

The minor symptoms are acute and the mortality rate is high. Dogs of different ages, genders, and breeds may be infected. However, there are several types of dogs with particularly high incidence.

The incubation period of canine parvovirus is 7-14 days, and it usually occurs just after changing the environment (the origin of the "week dog"). As an invasive disease, dogs often deteriorate quickly after being infected.

If your dog has the symptoms mentioned just now, the shovelers must send the dog to the hospital in time. Every minute and every second is very important!

Don’t think it’s too difficult to treat, and have an incurable mentality, or give up treating the dog directly. It is not terrible to be small. As long as you find out, you will be able to get cured.
