Among these is parvovirus, a highly contagious and potentially deadly disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vetmed.tamu.edu\/person\/14278\/\">Dr. Kathleen Aicher<\/a>, an assistant professor at the Texas A&amp;M School of Veterinary Medicine &amp; Biomedical Sciences, explains why parvovirus is so contagious between dogs, emphasizing the vulnerability of puppies and how crucial vaccinations and treatment are in preventing the infection from spreading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-role-of-parvo-vaccinations\">The Role Of Parvo Vaccinations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several factors that make parvovirus a highly contagious infection that can be fatal without prompt and intensive veterinary care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cParvovirus is very easily transmitted between dogs because it takes very little exposure to cause infection, and dogs who are infected can shed the virus for a few days before they exhibit symptoms, unknowingly exposing other dogs to the virus,\u201d Aicher said. \u201cThe virus is also very resistant to extreme temperatures and cleaning, so it can remain in the environment for a long time, putting dogs at further risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parvovirus is especially dangerous for puppies, who have weaker immune systems compared to adult dogs and are highly susceptible to parvo until they are fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, most puppies and dogs that get sick with parvovirus either have not been vaccinated or have not yet completed their vaccination schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPuppies may get some initial parvovirus protection by antibodies from the mother, if she is vaccinated, but it is unknown how long this protection might last,\u201d Aicher explained. \u201cFor these reasons, there are well-established vaccine schedule guidelines that veterinarians follow to keep puppies protected during the time that they are most vulnerable to infection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vaccinations against parvovirus \u2014 which have significantly reduced the number of infected dogs \u2014 should initially be given by veterinarians when puppies are 6-8 weeks old, followed by boosters up to 16-20 weeks old.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until they are fully vaccinated, Aicher encourages owners to keep their puppies away from areas where dogs congregate, such as dog parks, doggy day care, boarding facilities, and pet stores, particularly if they are displaying any signs of illness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf owners want to begin training their puppy in a class with other owners and puppies, they may be able to find places in which there is a policy of only allowing healthy, vaccinated puppies and that practice effective and regular disinfection of the facility,\u201d Aicher said. \u201cOwners might also bring their puppy to spend time with fully vaccinated, healthy adult dogs who belong to friends or family members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-battling-parvo-with-veterinary-care\">Battling Parvo With Veterinary Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the effectiveness of vaccines, owners should remain aware of parvovirus symptoms, as early detection and treatment can make a significant difference in recovery for puppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cParvovirus is always suspected highly for any suddenly sick puppy, regardless of vaccination history, and any such puppy should see their veterinarian right away,\u201d Aicher said. \u201cClassic symptoms of parvovirus include severe diarrhea, particularly with blood or a very bad smell. Puppies may also be vomiting, have a poor appetite, feel warm or very cool to the touch, or act lethargic and weak, with very low energy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of how infectious parvovirus is, Aicher advises owners to contact their veterinarian before bringing in a sick puppy for an appointment, allowing the veterinarian\u2019s office to take precautions that protect both the puppy and other dogs in the hospital.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany veterinary hospitals will treat any sick puppy as a parvovirus suspect until proven otherwise, which means they might wear protective gear, use a special exam room, or want to test your puppy for parvo before bringing them into the hospital,\u201d Aicher explained. \u201cThe typical test for parvovirus is very easy to perform and results can be obtained very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veterinarians will then discuss the diagnosis in more detail and share their concerns based on the puppy\u2019s history and physical exam. Aicher noted that, frequently, infected puppies will need to remain hospitalized for supportive care until they recover because of how sick they can become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the dangers of parvovirus, the impact of the disease can be reduced with proper vaccination and swift veterinary care, ensuring that puppies grow up healthy and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pet Talk is a service of the School of Veterinary Medicine &amp; Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&amp;M University.
