I just returned from Salt Lake City, Utah and just time to get writing, what a life, hugh? A great range exists in the severity of symptoms in dogs infected with parvovirus. Lots of adult dogs that have come into contact with the virus show few, if any, signs. Most cases of Parvo are detected in dogs Younger than 6 months old, and the worst cases seen in puppies younger than 12 weeks old. There are also noteworthy differences in reaction to parvovirus infections. There are also significant differences in the reaction to vaccines among various breeds of dogs. Labrador Retrievers, Doberman Pinschers, and Rottweilers are more vulnerable than other kinds of dogs.

The most common form of the disease, Parvovirus enteritis, is accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, bloody feces, and in the worst cases, lowered white blood cell counts. Parvovirus enteritis can affect dogs of any kind, of any age
Parvovirus develops quickly rapidly and can result in death as fast as two days after the start of the disease. Where gram negative bacteria, parasites, or other viruses are also present, the disease can be even more serious and slow recovery.
