Could You Cope With An Outbreak Of Parvovirus?
Rae and Mark May 11th, 2008
Here are a few facts about Canine Parvovirus (also known as CPV, Parvo virus, or more commonly known as Parvo) that you probably don’t know about:
-
The problem is, once your dog is infected, there are about 3-15 days where no symptoms are visible, but the virus is consuming large amounts of bone marrow, then moving on to consume and destroy a huge number of cells in the intestines - a lot of damage occurs at this stage.
-
When your doggie becomes infected and shows any of these symptoms (yellow frothy vomit, diarrhea [with or without blood], lethargy/no energy, no appetite, wobbly, dehydration, very depressed, etc.) then he may only have a few hours to 4 or 5 days left if he is not treated immediately.
-
Dogs can easily become infected in any number of ways, e.g. touching infected bodily fluids (saliva, vomit, urine, etc.), touching waste products (fecal matter), nose-to-nose contact, from your clothes, shoes, car tires, insects, birds, or other critters.
-
Parvo can exist in the ground from a few months to as long as twenty (20) years.
-
Parvo is incredibly hardy: it can survive boiling water (212 degrees F or 100 degrees C) and freezing temperatures (32 degrees F or 0 degrees C).
-
If your dog does have Parvo and you take him to the vet’s, be prepared to spend anywhere from $500 to over $6,000 USD per dog, and your vet will probably only give the dog a 50% chance of surviving the virus.
-
The current Parvo Hot Spot areas are primarily south of I-70 (Utah, going all across the southern US states to Maryland).
-
Some of the hardest hit states include Texas, California, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama, but almost every US state and other countries outside of the USA are starting to experience Parvo outbreaks as well.
Are there any options for a Home Parvo Treatment or a natural Parvo Remedy?
-
The first thing you need to do is to become more educated about this horrific virus, and you can do this by downloading our free, comprehensive ebook, Parvo Treatment 101 - in there you will find a large section on Parvo Prevention and several methods to treat Parvo.
-
If your dog has begun to show any of the symptoms listed above, then you have to move fast, so read our free book later and immediately go read our Home Parvo Treatment FAQs, find the Parvo Emergency Tea Recipe - it will not treat Parvo nor will it prevent Parvo, but it is a stop-gap measure to prevent your dog from becoming dehydrated until you can get a Parvaid Gold Value Pack.
