⚠️We have been alerted to a parvovirus outbreak in Coventry! This is spread through dogs, foxes and other animals! Can be caught indirectly from sniffing another dogs urine or faeces, face to face meets, licking another animals infected body fluid off their bodies after stepping in it etc.
⚠️Symptoms: severe Lethargy, Loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomitting, leading to blood in diarrhea and vomit.
⚠️YOU MUST TAKE YOUR DOG TO THE VET FOR IV FLUIDS IF THEY SHOW SIGNS.
⚠️Avoid areas with a lot of animal traffic (foxes and dogs!) parks, fields, groomers. Pets shops, vets unless urgent, training centres etc.
🚨PARVO IS FATAL AND EVEN VACCINATED DOGS CAN CATCH IT AS THE STRAIN MUTATES🚨
POST EDIT: For everyone asking "who the source is" it is a dog owner who lost their dog this morning and was informed by their vet of multiple cases. Thank you.
