Parvo, a highly contagious viral disease, can be fatal for dogs if not detected early. Here’s how to know if your dog has Parvo:

  • Severe Vomiting: Frequent, forceful vomiting is a key symptom.
  • Diarrhea: Often bloody and foul-smelling, indicating gastrointestinal distress.
  • Lethargy: Unusual tiredness or lack of energy.

  • Dehydration: Sunken eyes, dry gums, and reduced skin elasticity.

If you notice these signs, contact your vet immediately for a diagnosis and treatment plan.
