Is parvovirus infection a killer illness?
Parvo is a major life-threatening disease in dogs, although it is not as fatal as it was when if first showed up in dogs in the late 70’s. Aggressive treatment for parvo has shown to have a high success rate in infected dogs. Parvo is responsible for two distinct disease syndromes: the most common is an enteritis seen in dogs from weaning onwards, and the other is a heart condition of young pups.
