Symptoms of parvovirus in dogs

Canine Parvovirus is a highly contagious virus that primarily affects dogs. It can cause serious infections in dogs' intestinal and immune systems. The following are common symptoms of parvovirus infection:

1. Digestive system symptoms:

   - Severe vomiting: Frequent, persistent vomiting may occur.

   - Diarrhea: Stool becomes thin, watery, and mixed with mucus and blood.

   - Intense abdominal discomfort: Dogs may exhibit abdominal pain or a burning sensation in the abdomen.

2. Significant weakness and loss of physical strength:

   - Listlessness: The dog may appear listless, lose interest, and be unwilling to participate in activities.

   - Unable to eat or drink: Your dog may refuse food and water due to nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain.

3. Other symptoms:

   - Fever: Dogs may develop high fever (over 39°C).

   - Dehydration: Due to severe diarrhea and vomiting, dogs may experience symptoms of dehydration such as a dry mouth, heavy thirst, and reduced urine output.

If your dog shows any of the above symptoms, especially vomiting, diarrhea and weakness, it is recommended to see your veterinarian immediately. Parvovirus infection can worsen quickly and the risk is higher for puppies and unvaccinated dogs. Early diagnosis and treatment provide the best chance of saving your dog's life. At the same time, in order to prevent parvovirus infection, it is very important to get vaccinated regularly and maintain good hygiene.
