IT'S PARVOVIRUS SEASON AGAIN!

Dear Fellow Dog Owners,
As the season changes, we want to kindly remind you about the increased presence of Parvovirus during this time. Today, we received our first confirmed case of Parvovirus for the year at the National Veterinary Hospital serving as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and preventive measures.

Parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially dangerous disease that primarily affects dogs. With the changing season, the risk of transmission rises, making it crucial for us to take necessary precautions to safeguard our beloved pets.

Puppies, unvaccinated dogs, and those with compromised immune systems are particularly vulnerable. It spreads through direct contact with infected dogs, their f***s or contaminated environments.

Recognize the Symptoms:
It is crucial to be aware of the signs that may indicate a parvovirus infection in dogs:
1. Severe, persistent vomiting
2. Profuse, bloody diarrhea
3. Lethargy and weakness
4. Loss of appetite
5. Dehydration
If you notice any of these symptoms in your dog, seek immediate veterinary attention. Early diagnosis and treatment significantly increase the chances of successful recovery.

*Important! To ensure the safety and well-being of all pets visiting our hospital facility, we kindly request that you keep your dogs outside the premises while you enter for registration. Our dedicated staff will be there to guide you promptly to the designated area where your dog will receive the urgent care they need.

Prevention is Key:
1️⃣ Vaccination: Ensure your dog is up to date on their vaccinations. Regular vaccination is the most effective way to prevent infection and build immunity against the virus.
2️⃣ Hygiene Practices: Practice good hygiene when handling dogs or visiting public areas. Wash your hands thoroughly after contact with dogs, their f***s, or contaminated surfaces.
3️⃣ Isolation: If you suspect that your dog is infected or displaying symptoms of parvovirus, isolate them promptly from other dogs to prevent further spread. Consult your veterinarian immediately for diagnosis and treatment options.
4️⃣ Environment Management: Disinfect areas where infected dogs have been, including bedding, bowls, toys, and common spaces. Use veterinarian-recommended disinfectants to effectively eliminate the virus.
5️⃣ Avoid High-risk Areas: Limit your dog's exposure to places where parvovirus may be prevalent, such as dog parks, shelters, and areas with a high dog population.

Together, we can safeguard our furry companions from the threat of parvovirus. Stay informed, follow preventive measures, and prioritize regular veterinary care. By doing so, we ensure the well-being and health of our beloved dogs.
