The Importance of vaccinations...
Puppy sick with Parvo virus infection is dumped at train station. - Please vaccinate your dog!
This puppy was rescued on a Saturday night by someone who found her lying on the ground at Canning Town Train station.
They took her home for the weekend but it was clear that she was very unwell and didn't want to eat, had bloody diarrhea and was weak and lethargic.
On Monday morning they brought her to Canning Town clinic for help.
One of our vets examined her and was concerned that she had Parvo virus, a test confirmed this diagnosis. She was immediately placed on a drip and admitted to the clinic where she is being cared for in isolation. She is doing well and should make a full recovery, she will be moved to a foster home in a few days time.
Parvo virus is a nasty virus which is most common in puppies because their immune systems are less well developed. The virus is highly contagious and can survive in the environment for months.
It is very important to vaccinate puppies before they come in contact with other dogs or are allowed to exercise in public places such as parks. There are currently cases of Parvo virus in both East and South London. The virus can also easily be carried in to your home on your shoes and we recommend that anyone with a puppy or dog that is not vaccinated at least removes their shoes when entering their home to reduce the risk.
Symptoms of Parvo virus infection are vomiting, bloody, foul smelling diarrhea, lethargy and loss of appetite. A puppy infected with Parvo virus has about a 50% chance of surviving provided it receives prompt veterinary attention. If the puppy survives the first 3-4 days of treatment the chances of recovery are good.
It is very important to vaccinate your puppy against Parvo virus. Puppies require a course of vaccinations ideally at 8 weeks and again at 12 weeks. Dogs then require an annual booster vaccination to maintain immunity. If you are struggling to afford to vaccinate your dog please contact either of our London Veterinary clinics who both offer low cost vaccinations.
