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.
