Parvo -resistance

Cyril Roy Hi Guys...A important info regarding parvo...While i was working in Delhi we used to regularly treat parvo cases.. I have regularly seen puppies while giving IV vomitting and shitting in clinic. It seems parvo virus is one of the hardest virus to remove..They stay in your clinic for years and infect other dogs. In canada parvo suspected pups are not allowed inside the clinic. They are treated outside or in seperate places..

      CPV-2 is highly contagious and is spread by direct dog to-dog contact and contact with contaminated feces, environments or people. The virus can also contaminate kennel surfaces,
      food and water bowls, collars and leashes, and the hands
      and clothing of people who handle infected dogs. It is resistant to heat, cold, humidity, and drying, and can survive in the environment for long periods of time. Even trace amounts of feces containing parvovirus may
      serve as environmental reservoirs of the virus and infect other dogs that come into the infected environment. CPV-2 is readily transmitted from place to place on the hair or feet of dogs or via contaminated cages, shoes, or other objects.

      un-vaccinated dogs should not be exposed to ill dogs or those with unknown vaccination histories. People who are in contact with sick or exposed dogs should avoid handling of other dogs or at least wash their hands and change their clothes.
