Canine parvovirus (or just parvo) is an extremely contagious disease that any dog can get, but puppies in particular are most susceptible due to their young immune systems. The illness is gastrointestinal in nature and can be fatal if not treated early in your young dog.

Canine parvovirus is spread by infected dogs who come in contact with healthy dogs or if a person handles infected feces and goes around a healthy dog. Vaccinations to prevent canine parvovirus infection begin at less than two months of age and are given in a series of shots until a puppy reaches around four months old.

If your puppy is exposed to canine parvovirus in any way, they can become infected and will quickly become ill, especially if your dog has not received their full series of vaccinations for the virus. The following are signs your puppy has parvo. If any of these signs apply to your young pup, take them to the vet right away for diagnosis and treatment. Parvo can be fatal if not treated within 48 to 72 hours.
