Parvovirus Outbreak
I have just found out some really scary news
about the Parvovirus within stoke-on-trent. The Parvovirus is on an up rise and
vets are seeing 5 cases a day compared to 1 case a week and they are saying it
is a “Serious Outbreak”. The Parvovirus is very contagious and is contracted by
contaminated dog faecal matter and the symptoms are severe vomiting and diarrhoea
and can be fatal. They are urging that everyone
makes sure that all vaccinations are update.
My friends, friend has just got her puppy a
day ago, like me she has been waiting a long time for her puppy and was so
excited to have finally got him and has now had some really sad news, her puppy
has contracted the Parvovirus and is the vets on a dripping fight for his life
and this has made me very sad and very scared for my little puppy.
I have been looking on the internet to see
if there is anything I can do and found this website telling you about the Parvovirus.
Thank you for reading my Blog please leave
a comment at the bottom if your dog or someone you knows dog has had the Parvovirus and let me know if I could do anything to stop my puppy from
contracting it.

Ma has been through parvo with a dog before. Its terrible. She said its a smell she will never forget. Her dog recovered and lived to 17 years old. I hope your friend recovers and a word of advice for people with puppies who have not had their complete set of parvo vaccines is not to let every stranger pet their pets. Ma's dog contacted through being petted by a friend who had Hanks (ma's dog) sister. His sister had died from parvo and he had came by to tell them about it. He petted hank and within 24 hours Hank had it. It can be spread by someone petting a affected dog and then petting your puppy.
