Parvo Disease
Dog Most Common Deadliest Disease
Dogs are being measured as a mans best friends. A well trained dog can be a devoted and obedient companion. They will tend to protect their master in regardless of their safety. The major worry that the pet owners have globally is to protect the dog's health. The list of diseases that come to the dog is extremely large. Like humans, the dogs do have metabolic diseases, viral diseases, bacterial diseases, fungal diseases, parasitic infestations, genetic disorders, physical injuries. The dog's health problem symptoms are different and specific to the disease. Let us discuss about symptoms that help to diagnose the disease.
Parvo virus is a highly contagious disease characterized by diarrhea that is often bloody and is caused by a pathogen called canine Parvo virus. The virus is known to survive on inanimate objects - such as clothing, food pans, and cage floors - for 5 months and longer in the right conditions. Insects and rodents may also serve as vectors playing an important role in the transmission of the disease. All parvo viruses are extremely stable and are resistant to adverse environmental influences such as low pH and high heat. There is a broad range in the severity of symptoms shown by dogs that are infected with parvo virus. Many adult dogs exposed to the virus show very few if any symptoms. The majority of cases are seen in dogs less than 6 months of age, with the most severe cases seen in puppies younger than 12 weeks of age
Symptoms of the sickness are weight loss, fever, vomiting, nasal discharge, pus filled eyes, loss of weight, dehydration, and diarrhea is noticed from the dog. Canine Parvo virus is a viral infection that is very common in dogs and is a very common problem that is a huge killer of puppies. This disease affects the puppies that are below six months of age. The targeted site is intestinal tract but bone marrow, and lymphoid tissues of the dogs are also affected. Not all cases of bloody diarrhea with or without vomiting are caused by Parvo virus and many sick puppies are misdiagnosed as having 'Parvo.' Due to its ability to be transmitted through hands, clothes, and most likely rodents and insects, it is virtually impossible to have a kennel that will not eventually be exposed to the disease. The only way to know if a dog has Parvo virus is through a positive diagnostic test. Vaccination is the only option available to prevent this disease.
Get in contact with a veterinary near you. Bring along your puppies for an examination and a vaccination to prevent against this deadly disease. As they say prevention is better then cures.

Does anyone know a way to help fight off the disease at home
Parvo stands for Parvovirus. It’s mainly a puppy disease, although older dogs can get it. It’s generally fatal in puppies. Symptoms of Parvo include vomiting and diarrhea. It’s spread by exposure to contaminated feces. Treatment is usually intravenous fluids and medications. It’s a good idea to get a booster shot for your puppy again four weeks from the first vaccination.
Parvo is extrememly contagious, extremely dangerous especially to young puppies. Even with the treatment from the vet your pup may not survive.
I do not believe there are any home rememdies for parvo that will work. You may be able to find a rescue group or humane society that will take and care for your pup. You should also consider getting a loan, or borrowing money from a family member. Your pup will not survive without medical care!
Also, you need to wash your entire house with bleach. Parvo can live for years in carpets and even outside. It will infect your other pups and dogs if you are not careful!
Please take care of the dogs your have. Then have your female spayed and not have more litters.
People are going to lecture you about having enough money to take care of dogs (and puppies!) they are right. It’s a big responsibility.
You need to take them to the vet. Parvo is almost always fatal in pups.

If you want your puppy to survive, the best chance is having a vet treat him. You can try this product. I don’t know if it actually works or not.
