Symptoms of canine parvovirus

Symptoms of canine parvovirus:

1. Dogs with enteritis type will have a fever, the body temperature can rise to about 40°C, the nose will be dry, and the most important manifestations are diarrhea and vomiting. The color of the vomit will gradually fade, and a small amount of blood may also appear. In severe cases, some bile and blood may also be spit out, accompanied by a bloody stench.

2. The myocarditis type is mostly seen in dogs aged 40 days. There may be no obvious clinical symptoms, but sudden dyspnea, heart failure, and death in a short period of time. Some dogs may die suddenly after mild diarrhea.

Principles of treatment for canine parvovirus:

1. Early application of antibodies and interferon, the earlier the clinical application, the better the therapeutic effect.

2. Symptomatic treatment, which involves rehydration, hemostasis, antiemetic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and prevention of secondary infection. Sick dogs often die due to diarrhea and dehydration, so rehydration is the main measure to treat this disease. During the infusion, the volume and speed of the infusion should be strictly controlled, and the functional status of the heart should be paid attention to, otherwise the treatment failure may easily result. When the sick dog shows severe vomiting and diarrhea, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and acid-base balance need to be corrected.

3. When the sick dog does not eat, has a rapid heart rate, if there is no vomiting, and has an appetite or a desire to drink, oral rehydration salts can be given.

4. Blood transfusion therapy has a good therapeutic effect on this disease. Albumin and amino acids can be transfused, and Chinese medicine can be used for conditioning. .
