Is my dog getting parvo or just a cold?

Puppies are easy to get parvo, especially purebred puppies, the symptoms of parvo are not very obvious at the beginning, but it is recommended that you take the dog to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, the sooner **, the better.

If you vomit more than three times, you have to go to the hospital immediately if there are no other previous symptoms

It's just a cold

You can give him some banlangan and antiviral liquid for him to drink for a few days!

Hello, if in the process of parvo disease, respiratory tract infection, to rule out canine distemper, parainfluenza and other infectious diseases in time, and then symptomatic medication**, the doctor will adjust the **plan in a timely manner, the dog's situation at home should be communicated with the doctor in time, and actively cooperate with the dog**.

Parvovirus is a relatively acute infectious disease caused by canine parvovirus, parvovirus usually exists in the saliva, blood and fecal secretions of dogs, many immunized and poor resistance of young dogs may be infected with parvovirus after coming into contact with toys, rice bowls or excrement carrying parvovirus.

Parvovirus mainly invades the digestive tract of dogs, especially the mucosa of the small intestine and the villi of the small intestine, so most dogs infected with parvovirus will have varying degrees of vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stool and small intestinal mucosal detachment. If the dog has abnormal mental appetite and gastrointestinal symptoms, it is recommended that the owner isolate the dog from other dogs as soon as possible, and take the sick dog to the pet hospital for parvovirus screening, and actively carry out antiviral**.

Relevant ** measures

The best method for parvovirus disease in dogs is to use biologics such as parvo monoclonal antibodies, interferons, and parvoinhibitors. It is mainly the use of antibodies to effectively antibacterial and antiviral, through anti-inflammatory, hemostatic and anti-emetic, rehydration, correction of acid-base poisoning, ionic disorders in the body, etc., to clean up the gastrointestinal tract and regulate gastrointestinal function.

Nutrient injections are also needed to provide the necessary support**. The course of parvo in dogs is short and the deterioration is rapid, myocarditis syndrome is not timely, and it often dies suddenly, and enteritis syndrome is timely, which can significantly reduce the probability of death.

Dogs infected with parvovirus can be divided into enteritis and myocarditis. The incubation period of enteritis infection is 7-14 days, and the initial manifestations are fever, depression, lack of food, vomiting, etc. Sunken eyeballs after bloody stool, dry nasal scope, general weakness, significant weight loss, severe anemia symptoms, if not timely**, can cause shock, coma and death.

The early symptoms of myocarditis are not obvious, some suddenly have difficulty breathing, heart weakness, and die in a short time, and some die after mild diarrhea.

1.Parvovirus infection in dogs is mainly caused by parvovirus infection, which usually causes illness when dogs come into contact with animals or excrement that carry parvovirus.

2.When a dog is infected with parvovirus, the owner needs to consult a veterinarian in time to collect the dog's serum for dipstick examination.

3.After the diagnosis is confirmed, it needs to be carried out with drugs such as viral interferon, monoclonal antibodies, broad-spectrum antibiotics, etc.**.

Canine parvovirus disease is a highly infectious intestinal disease in dogs, which causes massive vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, high fever, and massive dehydration, resulting in the death of puppies and elderly dogs. The origin of canine parvovirus remains unknown. Since there is no drug for parvovirus, it is only symptomatic**.

Sanitation and vaccinations can help prevent the spread of the disease.

Clinical manifestations] Dogs develop symptoms within 3-14 days after exposure to parvovirus, with an average onset time of 5-7 days. Clinical symptoms include decreased appetite, depression, fever, vomiting, and diarrhoea.

Adult dogs may not necessarily have fever at first, but often have decreased appetite, depression, vomiting, diarrhea (after 24 hours), and sometimes repeated violent vomiting, loose stools, or bloody stool. The mortality rate in adult dogs is 2-3%. Puppies (shock due to high levels of dehydration) have a mortality rate of 25-50%.

Therefore, it is important to rehydrate as soon as possible.

Newborn puppies infected with parvovirus develop cardiac lesions, which can quickly destroy puppy heart muscle cells. Subsequent wheezing, oral mucosa and cyanosis, and sometimes sudden failure and death in the dog are the only symptoms of the disease in the puppy. Tolerant puppies can die from the disease weeks to months after infection due to permanent myocardial damage.

Parvovirus transmission

Parvovirus can be transmitted in the feces. Most parvovirus outbreaks occur in parks, dog shows, kennels, pet hospitals, and other places where dogs congregate. Although people are not infected with parvovirus, faecally contaminated shoes also play a role in spreading the disease.

Dogs that have not been vaccinated can become ill once they are exposed to parvovirus. The virus is resistant to high temperatures and can survive for a long time in soil and cages. Once infected, parvovirus is difficult to remove.

Diagnosis of parvovirus

There are many causes of vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Diagnosis of parvovirus is usually an indirect method of exclusion. Diagnostic reagent pots have now been produced that can detect viruses in feces.

The decrease in the number of white blood cells (to 5000 mm3) after parvovirus infection in dogs is not sufficient evidence of parvovirus disease in dogs. However, when the number of white blood cells in the dog is less than 2000 mm3, the dog's life is in danger.

Parvovirus**

There is no best way to treat parvovirus. Veterinarians mostly take support**. For example:

Intravenous fluids or electrolyte replacement to relieve dehydration, drugs to slow intestinal spasms, and antimicrobials to prevent secondary infection. Unfortunately, there are no drugs that can kill parvoviruses in the body. Dogs that have recovered are able to gain lifelong immunity.

The key to saving a sick dog is to insist on 3-5 days of infusion**, during which the dog should be fasted and watered. When the affected dog does not vomit for 48 hours, slowly resume eating. As long as the doctor is properly and the owner takes care of him, most dogs can be affected.

The difference is very big, the whole course of parvovirus is about a week, the first 3 days are the initial stage of the disease, the symptoms may be mild, and the day after the onset of the disease is the most severe time of the symptoms, and it is also the most critical time! It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to inject parvo monoclonal antibody or serum at the early stage of the disease to control the disease! Because there is currently no effective oral drug to kill parvovirus!

The symptoms of parvovirus in the early stage are vomiting and diarrhea, and in the later stage, dogs with severe onset may have symptoms of blood in the stool due to gastrointestinal bleeding, which is like tomato juice and fishy. If vomiting and diarrhea are severe, it is necessary to properly fast, fast, and rehydrate, and must be infused for rehydration, otherwise the dog will be dehydrated. If the dog does not have severe vomiting and diarrhea, and can eat and drink, try to feed it some nutritious and digestible food, which can be combined with gastrointestinal treasure for the dog to eat, which can repair the gastrointestinal tract and have an effect on vomiting and diarrhea.

When the resistance comes up, the hope of ** is greater!

If it's small, the best way is an infusion, which is a bit difficult to operate at home.
