The first week of November has seen a dramatic rise in Parvo cases at our hospital. Please exercise caution with your new puppies by keeping them away from public places.
Parvo is generally a disease of the younger dogs, resulting in vomiting, diarrhea (often with blood), and lethargy.
The best prevention is vaccinations ( a full puppy series from age 6-8 weeks until they are 16 weeks old, every 3-4 weeks) and keep your puppy off the ground, and do not visit parks or other public places. If your backyard is isolated, you can let your puppy run around there.
Any further questions please give our hospital a call at (209)745-3200
