Let’s clear up all the smoke and mirrors about the new canine parvo monoclonal antibody (CPMA) from Elanco! Traditionally, parvo virus could not be treated directly. Therapy was geared towards supportive care for vomiting, dehydration, low blood sugar, and secondary bacterial infections. The newly released CPMA is the first and only direct treatment for parvo. CPMA is a one time IV injection that gives dogs antibodies to start binding parvovirus after administration. Studies have shown that dogs who received the CPMA had faster resolution of clinical signs, shorter hospitalization times, and increased survival rates. At ACO, we have been successfully using this product since December with great outcomes for our parvo patients! As a reminder, parvo is very prevalent in Oxford, and your puppy is not considered fully vaccinated until multiple rounds of DHPPL including a set after 16 weeks old! Prevention is cheaper than treatment, but if your puppy is diagnosed with parvovirus, the CPMA injection is here to help!
We are dedicated to maintaining the health of your pet & look forward to many future years together.
