parvo

[Tiny 7 1,694]

Well a mate of mine near a year ago had a litter, Which all lended up catching it at some point within the first 12/15 weeks out of 6 only two died,

And the rest all survied,

The only one i see now is the one he kept back, and he is a great little worker, nothing at all wrong with him...

One thing tho i do think it stunted there growth or something, all were suppose to be 22ish, and the i kepted back only got to 16tts,

And the tallest and biggest in the litter got to 19/20tts...

you seem to no what your on about mate vet/docter of some sort

 

Not a vet or a doctor, nor do I play one on tv Where I live Parvo is common and I've dealt with it more than a few times, until I changed my vaccine protocol and started vaxxing the pups earlier with a single antigen Parvo vaccine. I ended up having to do a lot of research.

Heres the treatment protocol

 

Treatment:There is no specific therapy to eliminate the virus. Most dogs recover with appropriate supportive care directed to restoration of fluid balance. Oral electrolyte solutions may be used in mildly dehydrated dogs without a history of vomiting. More severely affected dogs should receive IV fluid therapy (lactated Ringer’s and 5% dextrose with additional potassium chloride [10-20 mEq/L]) to counter dehydration and maintain fluid balance. Monitoring of electrolyte changes is advisable. Most dogs that survive the first 2-3 days of disease recover. Persistent vomiting can be controlled with metoclopramide, 0.2-0.5 mg/kg, PO or SC, qid, or 1-2 mg/kg/day, slow IV).Routine use of antibiotics is discouraged. More severe cases (eg, dogs with severe blood loss, fever, or loss of intestinal integrity) are predisposed to bacteremia and septicemia. In these cases, a combination of either ampicillin or a first- or second-generation cephalosporin, plus an aminoglycoside or enrofloxacin, provide broad-spectrum coverage.Food and water should be withheld until vomiting has subsided. After this, small amounts of a bland diet (eg, cottage cheese and rice or a commercially available prescription diet) should be offered frequently. A small volume of warm, salted meat broth should be given concurrently. If GI signs recur after feeding, the dog should be fasted for an additional 12-24 hr before feeding again. If food can be tolerated, the bland diet is continued for 7-14 days, after which the dog’s regular diet can be gradually reintroduced. Prevention and Control:Contaminated areas should be thoroughly cleaned. Household bleach (1:30 dilution) or commercial products labeled for use against parvovirus are potent inactivators of the virus. The same solutions may be used as footbaths to disinfect footwear. Disinfection of hands, clothing, and food and water bowls is recommended. Pups should be kept isolated from adult dogs returning from shows or field trials. Vaccination is critical in the control of the disease. Variants of the virus have appeared since the disease was first recognized, but current vaccines protect dogs against all strains of the virus. Vaccines containing live attenuated canine parvovirus generally induce more effective immunity than inactivated virus vaccines. The high-titer canine parvovirus vaccines now available effectively protect puppies against viral challenge, even during the period when maternal antibody titers remain high enough to interfere with active immunization but have declined enough to predispose pups to infection. Vaccination of pups should begin at 5-8 wk of age, preferably with a high antigen-density vaccine. The last vaccination should be given at 16-20 wk of age, and annual vaccination thereafter is recommended.

Yes sir, thats quite a ways. We're having something of a Parvo outbreak around here. Thats why I had the protocol handy. hundreds of pups coming down with it. Hard times cause people to skip vaccines, and this is what comes of it.

 

Good luck this season!

See long post above. Bleach 1:30 dilution. This is also a cheap easy way to keep your kennels clean year round.

Bleach is, hands down, the cheapest and best disinfectant for Parvo, in 1:32 dilution, 1/2 cup per gallon of water. It deactivates quickly in the presence of organic material, though, so scrub everything very thoroughly with a detergent, rinse any solids away, then spray it down with bleach. Bleach will not do very much if you spray it over a bunch of dirt, feces, etc.

 

The following link pertains specifically to animal shelters but it has some good information on what disinfectants work for what pathogens:

Took my dog for his booster+MOT today. Was talking to the vet about parvo, if dogs have had it can leave them with a week heart. I WOULD rather pay 25£quid per year, than see a pup+dog suffer with this feckin thing. Some say after 2 years, you dont need boosters. Well if you done it just for [7] years, it should be immune to it by then, its still only 175£quid which is feck all over [7] years.
