Symptoms of canine parvovirus

The incidence of parvovirus is relatively high, mostly in puppies. The incidence rate is lower in adult dogs, and even if it does occur, the cure rate is relatively high. Symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting will appear in the early stages of the disease. The first thing you see is that the dog's diarrhea changes from strip-shaped to soft strip-shaped, and finally becomes mushy. If the dog vomits, foams at the mouth, and ends up with blood. As the dog's disease progresses, the feces will become more and more smelly, fishy smell, brown, and a bit like ketchup. This is a minor early symptom and is also the most common type of enteritis.

Pay attention to fasting and water restriction

The most important thing in treating enteritis-type parvovirus is fasting from food and water. Treat the dog's symptoms and stop vomiting if it occurs. The treatment measures for parvovirus include fasting of food and water first, then antivomiting, and then anti-inflammation and hemostasis. The last and most important thing is to prevent dehydration. Many dogs cannot be rescued because they are too dehydrated.

Pay attention to replenishing energy

Dogs can be given infusions to replenish nutrients. Nutritional support therapy is required for infusions. Generally, glucose saline plus vitamin C is used to replenish energy for dogs. The second is to adjust the electrolyte balance. Generally, lactated Lingus is used to allow the dog to adjust itself.

Take your dog to the hospital in time

The mortality rate of dogs with microorganisms is extremely high. If your dog gets parvovirus, it is best to take the dog to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. The sooner the treatment is done, the better.
