Parvo – What to Do

Before checking out dog parvo symptoms, let us take a look at what parvo is, what it can do to your do, and how it is spread. Parvo virus was first identified in’78 and within two years’ it had spread all over the world. Over the years, the parvo virus has mutated into two different strains and there is evidence of a third strain present in Italy, Spain and Vietnam. Every case of canine parvo virus, or CPV, comes from the first two strains. Every different species has its own parvo virus and it cannot be spread outside of the species, so there is a human parvo virus, a canine parvo virus, a feline parvo virus, and so on.
