Parvo is one of the 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 — diseases we see in dogs. It spreads quickly and can be deadly, especially for 𝗽𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝘃𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀.

🐾 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗿𝘂𝘀?
Canine Parvovirus is a highly contagious virus that attacks a dog’s intestinal tract, causing severe illness. It spreads through 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀, and it can live in the environment for months, even through cold or heat.

🐾 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
• Severe vomiting and diarrhea (often bloody)
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy and dehydration
• Fever or low body temperature

🐾𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀:
Parvo can cause 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲-𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 very quickly. Puppies are especially vulnerable, and without prompt treatment, the disease can be fatal.

🐾 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴!
• Vaccinate your puppy series on schedule and keep boosters current.
• Avoid dog parks, pet stores, and public areas until your puppy is fully vaccinated.
• Disinfect areas where an infected dog has been, the virus is extremely tough to kill.

🐾 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀:
With early treatment and supportive care, many dogs can recover, but prevention is far easier and safer.

If your puppy shows any of these signs, 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆.

• Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
• Drooling or pawing at the mouth
• Difficulty eating or dropping food

🪥 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲:

We all love spoiling our pets with extra treats (who can resist those puppy eyes?!), but did you know that more than half of U.S. pets are considered overweight? Those extra pounds can sneak up fast — and can lead to joint pain, diabetes, and heart issues over time.

𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗢𝗯𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 was October 8th and it’s never too late to check in on your pet’s health and help them stay feeling their best.

Here’s how to help your furry friend stay in tip-top shape:
🐾 Measure meals instead of free feeding
🐾 Add daily walks or playtime
🐾 Go easy on the treats (we promise belly rubs count, too!)
🐾 Schedule regular checkups to track your pet’s health

Healthy pets = happy pets!
If you’re not sure whether your pet is at a healthy weight, we’re happy to help! Give us a call or stop by East Point Animal Clinic for a quick weight check.

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸: 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 (Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex)

Does your dog have a dry, hacking cough that sounds like they’re trying to “clear their throat”? It might be 𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 — a contagious respiratory illness that spreads easily between dogs.

🐾 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁?
Kennel cough (officially called Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex) is caused by a mix of bacteria and viruses, including Bordetella bronchiseptica and canine parainfluenza virus. It spreads through 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝗻𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 like water bowls and toys — much like a cold does in people.

🐾 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁:
• Boarding facilities and groomers
• Dog parks and daycares
• Veterinary clinics or shelters
• Anywhere dogs socialize closely

🐾 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿:
• Persistent dry, honking cough
• Gagging or retching
• Mild fever or nasal discharge
• Lethargy or decreased appetite in severe cases

💉 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗸𝗲𝘆!

𝗩𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is the best protection — Bordetella and other respiratory vaccines greatly reduce severity and spread.

•𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 if they’re coughing to prevent spreading it to others.

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 bowls, bedding, and toys regularly.

🐾 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀:
Most cases are mild and resolve with rest, hydration, and sometimes medication from your veterinarian. Puppies, seniors, and immune-compromised pets are more at risk for complications, so early veterinary care is important.

If your dog is coughing or you're looking to keep your pets healthy with protective vaccines, stop in a see us at East Point Animal Clinic so we can help them feel better and keep others safe!
