Adult dogs will get parvovirus

Dogs are the main natural hosts, but other canids, such as coyotes, jungle dogs, crab-eating foxes and hyenas, can also be infected. . As the virus antigen drifts, the virus can now infect cats, bears, raccoon dogs and other animals.

Symptoms of parvovirus in adult dogs

①Enteritis type

Dogs with enteritis are initially depressed, anorexic, occasionally have fever, soft stools or mild vomiting, and then develop into frequent vomiting and severe diarrhea. At first, the feces will be gray, yellow or milky white with jelly-like mucus, and then there will be foul-smelling soy sauce or tomato juice-like bloody stools.

②Myocarditis type

Most puppies are 4-6 weeks old. They usually have no warning symptoms or only have mild diarrhea. Then sudden weakness, groaning, cyanosis of the mucous membranes, dyspnea, rapid and weak pulse, murmur of heart sounds, and sudden death within a few hours (possibly due to acute respiratory depression). Autopsy revealed cardiac dilation, pale streaks of myocardium, and general signs of congestive heart failure.

1. Improper daily diet: This is the main cause of common small illnesses, and many people are still trying to feed their dogs various foods.

Some people will have diarrhea if their stomach is not good, let alone dogs, so this is absolutely forbidden during the puppy stage. Onions, chocolate, and grapes are also forbidden foods and can cause severe allergic reactions.

2. Catch a cold: Dear friends, you all know to add more clothes when the weather changes, so the same applies to dogs in their puppy stage. Especially short-haired dogs need more attention. For example, open the windows when it's cold, let the dog (puppy) sleep directly on the cold floor, or let the dog sleep on a damp mat.

3. Be infected: The transmission rate is very small and scary. If healthy dogs and sick dogs are not isolated, air, feces, saliva, etc. will become sources of infection.

The hazards of small dogs in adult dogs

Canine infection with CPV has an acute onset, high mortality, and often occurs in a fulminant epidemic; dogs of different ages, genders, and breeds can be infected. Among dogs with clinical manifestations of vomiting, diarrhea (or bloody diarrhea), CPV-positive dogs can account for 29.8-46.2%. Among them, dogs under 6 months old are the most susceptible, accounting for up to 75% of the total number of CPV-infected dogs. The mortality rate of infected dogs in this age group is higher than that of dogs under 6 months old; the incidence rate of dogs older than 12 months is relatively high. Low.
