Sidhi Vet Warns of Deadly Winter Parvovirus in Dogs; Prevention Crucial

• Parvovirus is a deadly canine virus most active in winter (November to March), weakening immune and digestive systems and potentially causing death.
• The virus spreads rapidly through contact with infected dogs, their feces, or contaminated food.
• Symptoms include loss of appetite/thirst, frequent vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and rapid weakening, requiring immediate veterinary attention.
• Prevention involves vaccination: a 7-in-1 vaccine at 42 days, a booster 21-28 days later, and annual vaccinations thereafter.
• Even after vaccination, keep pets in clean areas and away from unvaccinated stray dogs to prevent infection.
