Parvo in dogs generally does not heal on its own. Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious disease of dogs that mainly occurs in unvaccinated dogs and puppies. The main symptoms of infection are severe vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration. If you do not receive treatment, it will almost never heal on its own, and the mortality rate will be high. Clinical treatment will only partially increase the cure rate. Therefore, it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible if your dog is found to be infected with parvovirus.

1. Symptoms of parvovirus in dogs

Small There are two types of disease: enteritis type and myocarditis type. Sometimes some cases of enteritis are also accompanied by myocarditis type changes. The main symptoms of enteritis type are: depression, anorexia, elevated body temperature, vomiting, diarrhea, severe vomitus and blood in the stool. Myocarditis type often has no aura, or only mild diarrhea, followed by sudden weakness, difficulty breathing, murmur on heart auscultation, and death within a short period of time. Parvovirus usually infects puppies that are about 40 days old. At this time, the maternal antibodies disappear and the dog's resistance decreases. The dog will become infected when changing its diet and environment or coming into contact with external pathogens. The best way to control the disease is to inject the two-part puppy vaccine when the dog is 28 days old. The two-part vaccine can provide dogs with antibodies to fight against diseases through the interference of maternal antibodies.

2. How to treat parvovirus in dogs

The course of parvovirus treatment in dogs is average Within 7-10 days, the cure rate depends on the dog's own resistance and the virulence of the virus. It is determined based on the dog's clinical manifestations and the level of white blood cells in the blood routine. If the dog can resist for 7-10 days without developing secondary diseases, such as intestinal paralysis, sepsis, anemia, etc., it can generally be cured. If you want to improve the dog's cure rate, it is best to go to a professional animal hospital for treatment. The clinical treatment of parvovirus is mainly supportive therapy. Intravenous infusion is used to replenish water and energy, and then antiemetic, antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and biological products are used to fight viruses
