Canine Parvoviral Enteritis (parvo):
Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious virus that commonly causes gastro intestinal diseases in young unvaccinated dogs (6weeks- 6months old). the presenting signs includes:
i) Anorexia,
ii) Lethagry,
iii) Vomiting
iv)diarrhea ( the stool has a fetid odour) which is often hemorrhagic i.e. it contains blood.
Treatment of canine parvoviral enteritis is largely supportive therapy because specific therapies are not available for the disease.

Prevention:
Dogs catch canine parvovirus, from exposure to infected dogs, their feces, or objects/areas contaminated with their feces. Quarantine any dog suspected of being infected with the disease.
Puppies should receive a minimum of three vaccinations between 6 and 16 weeks old, no more frequently than every three to four weeks with the final dose at 14 to 16 weeks.
Initial adult vaccination (and for puppies older than 16 weeks of age) ideally consists of two vaccines three to four weeks apart, though one vaccine is considered protective.
All dogs should receive one vaccine one year after the final puppy vaccination.
Continued adult revaccination is recommended at every-three-year intervals.
