How is canine parvovirus transmitted?
Dogs carrying viruses are the main source of infection, and their vomit, feces and urine contain large amounts of viruses. If a dog comes into contact with these feces, it is likely to become infected. Dogs with weak immunity can also be infected when they come into contact with contaminated dog food or water. Canine parvovirus has a strong survivability and can survive for two months at room temperature. Puppies aged 6 weeks to 6 months are most vulnerable to parvovirus attacks.
How to prevent and treat canine parvox?
If a dog is unfortunately infected with parvovirus, it should be kept in isolation immediately, the living environment should be disinfected, sent to the doctor in time, and its diet should be strictly controlled according to the doctor's instructions.
The first treatment measure for parvovirus is to stop food and water, the second is to stop vomiting, the third is to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding, and the most important thing is to prevent dehydration, so we need to give the dog infusions to supplement nutrition.
