Spring is already upon us, which means that the Parvo season has begun, and there is a much more aggressive strain of the Parvovirus that is killing dogs at a scary 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 questions are all True/False:
- 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.
People seem to have many misconceptions about the Parvovirus. There’s one thing for certain, it will devastate your pet and can take his life if you don’t take immediate action. Many times, people are caught unawares and just 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 confuse you at first. You may believe your dog has just swallowed something that disagreed with him, when in fact he may already be infected and very sick with the scourge of the Earth, Parvo virus.
