Symptoms of parvovirus include: foul-smelling diarrhoea with blood in it, vomiting, loss of appetite, collapse, depression, fever, sudden death. Puppies go downhill very quickly because the symptoms caused by parvovirus make them very weak, and mean their immune systems have to work very hard to fight the disease. The chances of your dog surviving are higher the quicker symptoms are spotted and treatment is given. Most deaths from parvo happen within 48 to 72 hours after the symptoms begin. If you recognise the symptoms of parvo in your own dog, call your vet immediately. Tell them what symptoms your dog or puppy has, and whether or not they’ve come into contact with a dog with confirmed parvovirus.

Parvo signs and symptoms can worsen quickly, and the disease can be fatal. If your dog shows any of the following early signs of parvo, contact your veterinarian immediately:
Profuse, bloody diarrhea
Vomiting
Loss of appetite
Lethargy
Abdominal pain
Weakness
Collapse
The sad fact is that most deaths associated with parvovirus occur within the first 48 to 72 hours after the dog starts showing signs of the illness.

The first sign of parvo for puppies is often lethargy, lack of appetite, and a fever. Symptoms typically appear between 3-7 days after they become infected. Canines will begin to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea as the virus progresses, and can experience dehydration and a high heart rate as a result. Symptoms of parvo can include lethargy, weakness, lack of appetite, high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, high heart rate, and hypothermia. If a dog experiences persistent vomiting and diarrhea, they could very quickly become extremely dehydrated. The early you catch the signs and get your dog to the vet, the better the survival rates are. Dogs may be contagious before they start to show symptoms. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet is experiencing any symptoms of parvovirus.
