What is the reason why dogs get parvo?

Canine parvo is actually infected with parvovirus, causing acute viral enteritis.

There are three main points of infection. First, there needs to be a source of infection. The second, the route of transmission. The third, susceptible animals.

First of all, animals that need to be in contact with or indirectly come into contact with parvovirus may be infected, or dogs may be induced if they have been exposed to their own carriers before and their resistance is reduced. Contact may be the owner has been in contact with dogs with parvovirus outside, or some cats, or it may be indirectly transmitted to the dog, so that the dog has a disease.

Susceptible animals refer to dogs, before vaccination, dogs do not have relevant virus antibodies, at this time dogs will have no relevant resistance to these viruses because they do not have relevant antibodies, and it is easy to be infected with these viruses when their resistance is low.

Therefore, it is recommended that the dog should be immunized in time after 45 days without breastfeeding, so as to avoid infection with some related viruses and avoid affecting the healthy growth of the dog.

For those who love dogs, everyone often says that dogs turn their intestines is terrible, also known as being small, the following is the content of the reasons why dogs will be small, I hope you like it!

Dogs will get small reasons.

One. Improper diet: This is a common cause of parvo diseases, and many people continue to try to feed their dogs a variety of foods.

1.Milk: food with high molecular content, some people will have diarrhea when they have a bad stomach, let alone dogs, so this is an absolute fasting in the puppy period.

2.Oily foods: all kinds of meat. The simplest way to put it is that the dog's intestines can't hang oil, and it will definitely be diarrhea after eating.

3.All kinds of bones: The most lethal are the bones of chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigeons and other birds.

You can do an experiment, use a hammer to hit the cooked poultry bones, and the broken bones are all sharp bones, which are very easy to scratch the stomach and intestines. Other bones, eating too much will cause constipation in dogs, and severe anal rupture!

4.Onions, chocolate, grapes, and other foods that are also forbidden can cause very violent allergic reactions.

5.Eat cold food: Some dogs with a slightly better stomach will not have problems with one or two meals, and in the long run, diarrhea is a matter of time and night, and it will seriously damage the stomach function.

6.Leftovers: Leftovers will spoil on the one hand, and on the other hand, there will be a lot of bacteria.

Two. Cold: Everyone, you all know that you will add clothes when the weather changes, so the same is true for dogs in the puppy stage.

Especially short-haired dogs need more attention. For example, open the window when it's cold, let the dog (puppy) sleep directly on the cold floor, such as the dog sleeps on a damp mat, such as eating cold food ...... when it's coldIn fact, if you think about it, if these common mistakes happen to people, they will also have diarrhea.

Three. Infected:

The small speed of transmission is very scary, and if healthy dogs and sick dogs are not properly isolated, air, feces, saliva, etc. will be the source of infection.

Four. Intraparasites cause diarrhea in dogs, which is a fatal cause for small dogs

Dogs get small symptoms.

In the early stage, the dog will have mild diarrhea symptoms, and the diarrhea will not stop, refusal to eat, accompanied by vomiting, bleeding, the dog's body temperature will be low, the gums will be pink or white in color, and it will feel cold to the touch. (If your gums are cold to the touch, you're almost gone.)

1.White stool: Worms in the body or severe cold.

2.Green feces: Cold.

3.Foamy stool: abnormal fermentation in the intestines.

4.Tarry stools: caused by ingestion of too much oily food.

5.Bloody stool: intestinal bleeding; bright red, most likely diarrhea is too frequent and intestinal rupture; Black-red blood and tomato-like bloody stools, severe bleeding in the intestines.

6.Sauce-like feces: If you pull more than usual, it proves that you have eaten too much and are not digested; There is also the cause of excessive intestinal water.

7.The dog that has not been out of the full moon pulls milk tofu-like feces: super super super severe cold.

8.Resembling thick phlegm or jelly-like stools: bacterial enteritis.

Ways to prevent parvovirus in dogs.

1.Strengthen day-to-day management.

2.Get regular vaccinations.

Pathogens, routes of transmission, susceptible animals.

Infection can occur when susceptible animals come into contact with pathogens. Parvovirus is mainly excreted through the dog's oral and fecal routes, and when a healthy dog comes into contact with the excrement of a diseased animal or parvovirus, it happens that the dog's resistance is weak and the immunity is relatively low, it may show some clinical symptoms. Because unvaccinated dogs and puppies are basically not resistant to parvovirus, and the development of the puppy's immune system itself is not perfect, so it is easy to be infected.

In addition, the things that we humans come into contact with may also carry the virus and be touched by dogs, after all, the virus is an invisible creature.

**Methods mainly include injections, medicines, infusions, etc., among which the effect of infusion is relatively good. But the specific how to ** is related to the dog's condition, the owner's choice and other factors. Owners can go to the pet hospital to buy anti-inflammatory antibacterial drugs, antiviral drugs, electrolyte fluids, immune boosters and other drugs for dogs**.

If the symptoms of the dog's illness are more severe, it is recommended that the owner immediately take the dog to the pet hospital for infusion**.
