There are many symptoms that can indicate that our dog has a health problem, but unfortunately the symptoms of parvovirus are very similar to those of other diseases, so it can confuse us if we do not value them correctly.

The fundamental thing is not to lose the calm, to analyze our dog, to compare the symptoms that present with those described and to value. We must remember that the symptoms of accentuate progressively, that is, begin to be mild but quickly become serious.

That is why we can be confused with a simple indigestion or any other disease of similar characteristics. You have to pay special attention to the puppies, since they are the most defenseless immunologically speaking.

What are the symptoms of parvovirus in a dog? These are the main symptoms of this disease, they may appear mildly or be aggressive, depending on how advanced the disease is.

    Diarrhea with blood: It is one of the main characteristics of parvovirus, diarrhea or soft stools with red or dark brown blood. Accompanied normally by a very strong and unpleasant odor, much more than usual in a stool.

    Increase in body temperature: The fever in the dog is one of the first symptoms that we can appreciate. It has to be measured rectally and from 39.5 degrees in adults or 36.5 degrees in puppies it can be considered that our dog has a fever.

    Decayed dog: Surely show signs of being sick, lack of appetite, fatigue, little desire to play or even move, etc ... This disease consumes a lot and it is completely normal that their energy and mood decay.

    Vomiting: Sometimes vomiting of foam may occur although there may also be gastric contents. Gasping, dizziness or respiratory distress may also be associated symptoms.

This virus attacks very strongly the intestinal system of the dog, causing hemorrhages that will be visible in the dog's feces. Remember that the hemorrhages can be a very dark color, almost black. Or reddish ... whatever it is, it is not normal for a dog to show blood in its feces.

What do I do if I detect parvovirus symptoms?

This virus acts very fast, if you detect any of these symptoms in your puppy or dog you should immediately call a veterinarian. Only a veterinarian through medical tests can verify that it is indeed parvovirus.

The earlier you start treatment, the more likely your puppy will survive. That's why the speed of action is fundamental, do not leave tomorrow for your visit to the vet if you can do it today.

Unfortunately, there are many puppies that do not survive this disease, so there is no guarantee that the treatment will be completely effective.

If you do not have it very clear, it is best to consult the veterinarian. There is a saying that "just in case" never bothered him.
