    Parvo in dogs is caused by an contagious virus called parvovirus. This virus is transmitted through feces of infected dogs and contaminated objects. Parvo can affect dogs of all ages but puppies below 8 months of age are more prone to be affected. After getting virus of parvo, dogs can show symptoms after 3-14 days. Following symptoms can be observed in dogs.
    1. Vomiting that can be bloody
    2. Diarrhea
    3. Depression
    4. Fever
    5. Dehydration
    6. Loss of appetite
    After getting virus, affected dog can shed virus after 15 days. Acute attacks of parvo can not be managed at home because there are no treatment of parvovirus. Only symptomatic treatments are available options. Vaccination against parvovirus are also available.
