Parvo (Parvovirus)

Symptoms of Parvo

Parvo causes similar symptoms in all infected puppies and dogs, including:

  • Vomiting

  • Severe and often bloody diarrhea

  • Lethargy

  • Fever

  • Loss of appetite

In dogs infected with the virus, dehydration is a constant concern and can occur very quickly as a result of the vomiting and diarrhea. This is especially dangerous in very young puppies.

Most deaths from parvo occur within 48 to 72 hours after the onset of symptoms, which is why it's critical that you take your dog to a veterinarian or emergency animal hospital immediately if he shows any signs of the infection. And since the disease is so contagious, affected dogs must be isolated to minimize spread of infection.
