What are the symptoms of parvovirus in adult dogs?

Dog Medicine
Clinically, most parvoviruses present symptoms of enteritis, and a few show symptoms of myocarditis. Enteritis-type symptoms include frequent vomiting, severe diarrhea, loss of appetite, etc., and the discharge of rotten tomato-like stool with a special fishy smell. Myocarditis type is more common in puppies under 3 months of age. Affected dogs often have no obvious clinical symptoms or only have mild diarrhea.

Myocarditis type is more common in puppies under 3 months of age. Affected dogs often have no obvious clinical symptoms or only have mild diarrhea, and then develop sudden heart failure, difficulty breathing, and often die within a short period of time.

When adult dogs are not vaccinated or have incomplete vaccinations, there are not enough antibodies in the body to resist the virus. When the dog's resistance is low, it is easy to be infected with parvovirus. It is recommended that when the dog is 45 days old and the body is normal, the dog must be taken to the pet hospital for vaccination in time. During the vaccination period, do not bathe the dog or take the dog out to interact with animals of unknown origin.
