Parvo Treatment - Test Your Knowledge
02 Jul 2009
It’s already Spring time, which means the Parvo season is upon us already, and there is a much more aggressive Parvovirus Strain that is killing dogs at a truly alarming rate. The 2c Strain (aka F-Strain) can kill both fully-vaccinated adult dogs and puppies within 6-12 hours after symptoms first appear.
So, we put together a little quiz for you to see whether you’re up-to-date. These are True/False questions:
- Parvo is a puppy disease and my adult dogs are safe.
- All of my dogs are up-to-date on their shots, therefore they are protected.
- I’m worried that my cat can get infected from my Parvo puppy, should I be?
- Foul-smelling dog diarrhea mainly comes from eating junk food.
- Canine Parvovirus is not contagious to humans.
- My vet quoted $750+ for Parvo treatments for my dog, I heard this is low?
- Parvo cannot survive snow and desert-heat temperatures.
- Parvo can only be spread via infected dog feces.
- Parvo can incubate from 3-15 days before symptoms appear.
- Parvo tests at the vet are always accurate.
Parvo is widely misunderstood. One thing is for sure, it will attack your pet and can take his life if you don’t take immediate action. So often, people are caught unawares and simply have no idea what to look for. Parvo symptoms can suddenly appear almost out of the blue - one minute your dog is his usual playful self and the next minute he is moping around and looking very depressed.
The typical symptoms of Parvo can throw you at first. You may think your dog has simply swallowed something that disagreed with him, when indeed he may already be infected and very sick with the scourge of the Earth, Canine Parvo virus.
