Parvo virus facts

PARVO VIRUS FACTS
Facts you should know about Parvovirus:
1. Contagious to dogs only - not cats or people.
2. Signs include vomiting, fever, and bloody diarrhea with a very foul odor.
3. The virus sometimes may attack the HEART muscle causing “myocarditis” (inflammation). This may occur for up to 3-6 weeks after apparent recovery from the intestinal form of the disease.

This “heart” form is ALWAYS FATAL!
4. The YOUNGER the dog, the GREATER the chance it will NOT recover.
5. Dogs that recover from parvovirus are often weak, making them even more susceptible to other diseases, such as DISTEMPER.
6. The virus is transmitted through the FECES of an infected dog. It can be carried on dog’s hair and feet as well as live on contaminated rugs, bedding, shoes, and other objects.
7. The most effective disinfectant is 4 oz. Clorox in l gallon of water.
8. Dogs that recover from parvovirus continue to spread the virus in the feces for a month or longer. (Carriers)
9. Dogs remain HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE to Parvovirus until 2 WEEKS after the LAST injection of the initial puppy immunization series.
10. Death from parvovirus result from:
(a) Dehydration.
(b) Overwhelming bacterial infection resulting from the pet’s lowered resistance.
(c) Blood loss from internal hemorrhage.
(d) Heart attack from invasion of the heart muscle by the virus.
11. Treatment is aimed at maintaining the normal body composition and preventing secondary bacterial infection. We have NO CURE for any animal virus, just as there is NO CURE for any human virus.
12. The body normally is about 80% water. Life is NOT possible when 12-15 % of the normal body fluids are lost. With parvo virus, the pet often quickly becomes “dehydrated” from the vomiting, diarrhea, and inability to consume fluids. This is the reason fluid therapy is so important in Parvo virus Therapy. For information contact your local animal hospital or veterinarian.

  2. Brothers and sisters, I want to quickly tell all here how my dog was cured of his Anemia Due to Iron Deficiency. Rhod Minster is my name, and I live in USA. My dog was diagnosed of Anemia Due to Iron Deficiency months ago, and my dog begins go slimmer by the day. His doctor said this disease have no cure, my dog is going to die. So I was already crying waiting for that faithful day my dog will finally die. But after some time, my friend came visiting and saw how slim my dog was so she asked what was wrong with my dog, and I told her but she said to me that a doctor who is a specialist in dogs uses herbal process to cure her own dog of lyme disease , and also another was cured of parvovirus and that since then her dog was cured, her dog have been doing very fine. So she gave me the contact details of her dog, and I contacted the said doctor his name is Doctor Uwadia Amenifo. I explained to him what my dog is passing through and promised to help me save my dog, so we made necessary arrangements and he prepared the herbal medicine, and sent it to me in USA. So I was giving the medicine to my dog just as he directed and behold my dog so responded positively to his medicine, and today my dog is totally cured of his long suffered Anemia Due to Iron Deficiency. So I decide to come here and tell all whose dog has a one deadly disease or the other to quickly contact Doctor Uwadia Amenifo. His email is (doctoruwadiaamenifo@gmail.com), phone number (+2349052015874).
