Parvo Spikes in 92410 Zip Code

Canine Parvovirus is a highly contagious and deadly disease. The virus attacks the gastrointestinal tract of puppies and dogs as well as coyotes and foxes. The HSSBV Veterinary Clinic saw parvo cases start earlier than normal this year with approximately 200 cases to date. Most recently, there have been an alarming amount of cases reported in the 92410 zip code. The HSSBV urges residents to have their pets vaccinated and bring their pet to a veterinary clinic at the first sign of symptoms. Symptoms may include lethargy (sleepy puppy) and not eating when they are first “coming down with” the disease and later experiencing vomiting and diarrhea (diarrhea may be bloody). This can happen in less than 24 hours and some puppies can die before the diarrhea stage. Parvo virus is spread through contaminated feces, kennel surfaces, food bowls, collars and leashes as well as on people’s clothes and shoes. The virus can live in the soil for up to a year and is resistant to heat and freezing. Vaccination and good hygiene are critical components of preventing parvovirus. Puppies should start their vaccine series (puppy shots) as early as 6 to 8 weeks of age, with boosters every three weeks until they are 16 weeks of age. Adults should be vaccinated every year, especially nursing mothers. Get your pet vaccinated and update your adult dogs vaccination BEFORE exposure happens. In a very small percentage of cases, the newest strain of parvo can also affect adult and vaccinated dogs. Contact your local veterinarian to get your puppy started on their puppy vaccines today and to keep your adult dog’s vaccines current.
