Canine parvovirus infection is a highly contagious viral disease that primarily affects dogs, especially puppies. The virus attacks the gastrointestinal tract, leading to severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. It spreads through direct contact with infected dogs or contaminated environments, such as dog parks or kennels. Vaccination is crucial in preventing this infection, as there is no specific cure once a dog is infected. Treatment typically involves supportive care, including fluids and medications to control symptoms. Early detection and veterinary intervention can significantly improve the chances of recovery for affected dogs.
