What Is Parvovirus?
Parvovirus (parvo) is a viral infection that quickly attacks rapidly dividing cells in your dog’s body. Cells like those present in the lining of the digestive tract or in developing white blood cells.
Certain breeds of dogs seem to show greater susceptibility to parvo. Most of these are black and tan breeds such as Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers. While adult dogs can get parvo, puppies are more severely affected than adults.
How Dopets Get Parvo?
Parvo spreads through contact with infected feces. It can also pass indirectly to your puppy by an infected dog or contaminated objects …
- Food and water dishes
- Collars and leashes
- Hands and clothing of someone who handled an infected dog
- Kennels and dog parks pose a high risk for puppies. And so do veterinary offices.
What Are The Symptoms Of Parvo?
The hallmark of parvo is blood-stained feces with a very distinct and unpleasant smell. Parvo itself rarely kills dogs. It’s the associated dehydration and secondary infection that can be deadly.
Other symptoms can include.
- Vomiting
- Dehydration
- Nausea
- Decreased immune function
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Abdominal pain
How Is Parvo Diagnosed In Dogs?
Fortunately, parvo is easy for vets to diagnose. They can analyze a stool sample for parvo antigens in minutes using a SNAP test. Most vets have this test available right in their clinic.
The vet may also run blood work to measure your puppy’s immune cells and hydration to see how sick he is.
How To Prevent Parvo In Dogs
The first and most important step in treating any disease is prevention. If you choose not to vaccinate your puppy, you have taken an important step toward preventing him from becoming ill.
If that seems counter-intuitive, consider this …
To prevent your puppy from getting any number of infections … he has to have a strong immune system. We’re brain-washed into thinking that vaccines create immunity but that simply isn’t true. Vaccines do not immunize, they sensitize … they force your dog’s body to respond to stimuli.
The immune system is a wonderful thing and has functioned quite well for centuries … without vaccines.
In fact, there’s no vaccine available today that covers the original CPV-1a strain of parvo. It’s easy to think that this is because the strain has disappeared but it turns out it’s still in the environment.
That’s because diseases are only a threat if the immune system can’t meet the challenge. In the case of the CPV-1a strain of parvo, the virus is just as common and just as deadly as the newer strains. The only difference is that dogs have naturally acquired the immunity needed to deactivate it … even though they weren’t vaccinated for it.
To avoid parvo (and more importantly, death from parvo) it’s crucial to build your puppy’s immune system .
Homeopathy For Parvo Infected Dogs
Homeopathy can be incredibly fast-acting in acute situations. You will hopefully have the guidance of a good homeopath, but the following remedies often work very well. Because homeopathy looks at symptoms and the disease, it’s not necessary to wait for a diagnosis of parvo to begin using the remedies (except for parvonosode).
Homeopathic remedies usually come as pellets or granules. You can buy homeopathic remedies at a local health food store or apothecary.
