INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Each week, Pet Pals TV shares a enjoyable, attention-grabbing, and informative story about our four-legged and furry pal inhabitants.
This week, Patty Spitler, host of “Pet Pals TV,” was joined by Tom Dock, the communications supervisor for Noah’s Animal Hospitals and an investigative reporter for “Pet Pals TV,” to debate the risks of parvo.
Canine parvovirus is a extremely contagious illness that impacts dogs of all ages, particularly younger ones.
“It is deadly,” Dock mentioned. “It attacks the rapidly dividing cells in your gut and your bone marrow, and so you lose a lot of fluids through dehydration, vomiting, and diarrhea. And then you can’t fight off any kind of infection because you’re killing the cells in the bone marrow that normally do that for you.”
Dock provides that parvo will be prevented by way of vaccination, and shares extra about an occasion that occurred on April 20 to assist increase consciousness and stop parvo.
