Common Health Problems:
(PARVOVIRUS)
Parvovirus is a very serious, deadly threat to the unvaccinated puppy or dog. It is so infectious that virtually anyone or any moving object can become a parvovirus carrier simply by coming in contact with an infected dog’s feces (bowl movement). The virus can survive heat and subzero temperatures for a long periods of time, and so the virus might remain long after the feces has been removed. Shoes, Paws--- you name it— can pick up and carry the virus.
Most veterinarians recommend multiple parvovirus vaccinations for the growing puppy. Also NEVER take your puppy out for a walk in the park, down the street, or anywhere BUT your backyard until it has gotten all its shots. The vet will let you know when it gotten them all.
To prevent the
spreading of parvovirus:
Immunize your puppy or dog according to your veterinarian’s direction.
AND KEEP YOUR PUPPY AT HOME !!!
