What Are Symptoms Of Parvo And Can A Dog That Is As Old As 7 Get It Easily?
It’s relatively uncommon for a 7-year-old dog to get PARVO. It is most common in pups under 5 months of age. Even most vets only recommend a vaccine in adult dogs every three years. (I’ve never had my dogs vaccinated and they’ve never contracted it.) If you’re boarding your dog, though, you’ll probably be asked to have him vaccinated since kennels are primary source of transmission. The source of the infection is fecal waste — of other, infected dogs. The primary symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea — it’s important to remember that most vomiting and diarrhea symptoms in dogs have nothing to do with PARVO. Diagnosis is definitely made via a trip to vet with a stool sample.
