Parvovirus in Puppies

By Dr. Melinda Striyle

Spring is here! While we enjoy the nice weather and the beautiful blooms of the desert, we also see a spike in Parvovirus cases in puppies. Parvovirus or Parvo is a hearty virus that can survive in the environment for many, many months. It is passed in the feces (poop) of dogs shedding the virus. The problem: the poop can be picked up, but the virus particles can remain on the ground. The virus can attach to just about anything that comes it comes into contact with, a puppy’s feet, a person’s shoes, a person’s hands, a toy, etc. Then it can be passed to the puppy during innocent licking or chewing. Unprotected puppies and dogs will then develop this horrible disease about 7-10 days after exposure.
