Protege a tu cachorro! ๐Ÿถ El Parvovirus es una amenaza mortal, pero es *fรกcilmente prevenible* con la vacunaciรณn.

El Parvovirus Canino (Parvo) es un virus altamente contagioso que ataca las cรฉlulas de rรกpida divisiรณn en el cuerpo de un perro, principalmente el revestimiento de los intestinos y la mรฉdula รณsea.

๐Ÿถ Intestinos: El virus destruye la barrera intestinal protectora, lo que lleva a una enfermedad grave. Tu perro se sentirรก terribleโ€”experimentando vรณmitos y diarrea implacables, malolientes y a menudo sangrientos, lo que conduce rรกpidamente a deshidrataciรณn peligrosa y dolor abdominal.

๐Ÿถ Sistema Inmunolรณgico: Al atacar la mรฉdula รณsea, el Parvo debilita el sistema inmunolรณgico, haciendo casi imposible que tu perro luche contra las infecciones bacterianas comunes que se filtran del intestino daรฑado. Estarรกn profundamente letรกrgicos, dรฉbiles y perderรกn el apetito, haciรฉndolos sentir completamente miserables y extremadamente enfermos.

El Parvo es una enfermedad rรกpida, a menudo fatal, especialmente en cachorros no vacunados.

Canine Parvovirus (Parvo) is a highly contagious virus that attacks the rapidly dividing cells in a dogโ€™s body, primarily the lining of the intestines and the bone marrow.

๐Ÿถ Intestines: The virus destroys the protective gut barrier, leading to severe illness. Your dog will feel terribleโ€”experiencing relentless, foul-smelling, often bloody vomiting and diarrhea, which quickly leads to dangerous dehydration and abdominal pain.

๐Ÿถ Immune System: By attacking the bone marrow, Parvo weakens the immune system, making it nearly impossible for your dog to fight off common bacterial infections that leak from the damaged gut. They will be profoundly lethargic, weak, and lose their appetite, making them feel utterly miserable and severely ill.

Parvo is a rapid, often fatal disease, especially in unvaccinated puppies.

We have treated three Parvo-positive dogs in the last two weeks here at Lone Tree Animal Care Center. This indicates the virus is actively being spread around the area. If your dog is not fully vaccinated, they are at risk!

The good news is that Parvo is a core vaccine for dogs! At Lone Tree Animal Care Center, we include Parvo (along with distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and leptospirosis) protection in the standard puppy vaccine series.

This simple, scheduled series of vaccinations is the safest and most effective way to give your dog life-saving immunity.

๐Ÿถ Complete Parvo Vaccine Series:

๐Ÿถ Details: Requires days of intensive, 24-hour care, IV fluids, medications, and isolationโ€”and tragically, even with treatment, survival is not guaranteed.

Don't risk your dog's life or your wallet. Make sure your puppy or unvaccinated dog gets their complete vaccine series on schedule.

Yesterday, we talked about the difference between heartworm and flea prevention. Today, let's dive deeper into a crucial aspect of heartworm prevention: TIMING & CONSISTENCY!

A common misconception is that heartworm preventatives offer continuous, long-term protection like a shield. While they DO protect, they work a bit differently:

๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ'๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต:
Your dog's monthly heartworm medication works by eliminating any heartworm larvae (microfilariae) that your dog may have picked up from an infected mosquito bite ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€. It doesn't remain active in their system for months on end, nor does it repel mosquitoes.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€:
Imagine your preventative as a "reset button" pressed every month. Each dose clears out any potential heartworm infection that was incubating. If you miss a dose, that "window of protection" closes, allowing any newly acquired larvae to continue developing unchecked. These larvae can then mature into adult heartworms, which are much harder and riskier to treat.

๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† ๐—ฎ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ก-๐—ก๐—˜๐—š๐—ข๐—ง๐—œ๐—”๐—•๐—Ÿ๐—˜:
๐Ÿถ ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜†๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ฒ: Consistent monthly dosing ensures you're continually interrupting the heartworm lifecycle before those tiny larvae can grow into dangerous adult worms in your dog's heart and lungs.
๐Ÿถ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—š๐—ฎ๐—ฝ: Even a single missed dose can create a gap where larvae can develop beyond the stage that the preventative can kill.
๐Ÿถ ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐——๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—น๐˜ & ๐—–๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜๐—น๐˜†: Treating adult heartworms is complex, expensive, and can be very hard on your dog's body. Prevention is always safer, easier, and more affordable!

Don't let a missed dose put your pup at risk! Set reminders, mark your calendar, or ask your vet about extended-release injectables if remembering monthly doses is a challenge. Your dog's heart depends on it! โค๏ธ
