Parvovirus Treatment

Appointment

What is parvovirus?

Parvovirus, or parvo for short, is a highly contagious viral infection that primarily affects dogs, particularly puppies and unvaccinated dogs. It spreads through contact with infected feces, contaminated environments, or through direct contact with infected dogs.

Parvovirus attacks rapidly dividing cells in the body, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to severe vomiting, diarrhea (often bloody), lethargy, loss of appetite, and dehydration. In puppies, the virus can also affect the heart muscle, leading to myocarditis.

Symptoms include:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Decreased appetite
  • Lethargy

How is parvovirus treated?

Fortunately, there’s hope for pets battling parvovirus: Monoclonal Antibody Treatment

This innovative therapy involves administering specific antibodies that target and neutralize the virus, helping to bolster the immune response and improve the chances of survival.

Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody Treatment works by boosting the immune system’s ability to fight off the virus and support the dog’s overall health during the critical period of infection. It can significantly reduce the severity and duration of symptoms, leading to faster recovery times and improved outcomes for dogs battling parvovirus.

If your pet is diagnosed with parvovirus, don’t lose hope. Ask us about the potential benefits of Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody Treatment and whether it may be a suitable option for your furry friend’s recovery.
