Medications for puppies with parvovirus:

1. Antiviral drugs. For example, parvovirus inhibitory protein, interferon, etc.

2. Antibiotic drugs. Viral infections can also cause secondary bacterial infections, so antibiotics are also needed.

3. Infusion. Such as repeated vomiting, bleeding, etc., infusion treatment is needed to replenish the dog's body fluids and adjust the acid-base balance.

4. Symptomatic treatment. Such as hemostatic drugs, drugs to protect the gastric mucosa, drugs to promote appetite recovery, etc., the medication plan needs to be adjusted based on the dog's current symptoms.

Clinical manifestations of dog parvovirus infection:

1. Dog parvovirus infection usually has an incubation period of about 7-14 days. During the incubation period, dogs do not show any symptoms.

2. Enteritis-type parvovirus: vomiting, anorexia, fever, depression, and then diarrhea with gray or yellow diarrhea and tomato-like bloody stool at the beginning of the disease.

3. Myocarditis-type parvovirus: It is more common in young dogs under one month old. There are no characteristic symptoms at the beginning of the disease, only mild diarrhea, weakness, difficulty breathing, and death within a short period of time.
