β οΈ Dear Pet Owners,
Unfortunately an outbreak of Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is affecting South East Queensland.
Common symptoms include:
-Lethargy and weakness
- Severe bloody diarrhoea
- Fever
- Vomiting
- Loss of appetite
"In puppies aged between six weeks and six months, it can be fatal (the death rate in young non-vaccinated puppies can be greater than 80 percent), although early vaccination has been effective... Common signs of parvo-affected puppies include initial tiredness and not wanting to play. The next signs will include vomiting, followed by very foul smelling dysentery or diarrhoea." - Vet Voice, Australian Veterinary Association
Please contact your trusted veterinarian as soon as possible if your dog shows any signs of Parvovirus.
Stay safe xo
