Riley County has actually briefly closed the Fairmont Park dog park, after a dog who went to the park was detected just recently with canine parvovirus.
The extremely infectious viral infection impacts puppies and unvaccinated dogs and is understood to spread out through direct contact with a contaminated dog, along with through contact with infected surface areas or items. The county closed the park as a preventive step.
Pet owners are highly motivated to keep their dogs far from the dog park throughout the closure, which remains in location through the weekend and follow their vet’s assistance on vaccinations and preventive steps.
Any family pet owners who have actually checked out the dog park because last Saturday need to monitor their dog for symptoms and signs of canine parvovirus, that include anorexia nervosa, sleepiness, throwing up and diarrhea.
So far no reports of contamination connected with the CiCo Park Dog Park have actually been kept in mind. It stays open up to the general public.
The Fairmont Park Dog Park is scheduled to resume Monday.
