With severe dehydration, blood no longer circulates as it should and your dog may die before diarrhea develops. When the intestine is damaged, blood vessels that nourish the intestine are also damaged. The blood vessels break and blood enters the intestine. At the same time, bacteria travel from the intestines out into the blood vessels and are carried throughout the body. Just as diarrhea can cause death, an infection in the blood (septicemia) can also cause death.</div>

Parvovirus is caused by infection with CPV, most often, CPV-2a or CPV-2b. All dogs are at risk for developing canine parvovirus especially <b style="border: 0px none; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12.6px; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Puppies</b> less than 4 months old and <b style="border: 0px none; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12.6px; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">dogs that have not been vaccinated  </b>against the virus are at increased risk for infection.</div>

<span style="font-size: 1.05em;">Although newborn puppies receive antibodies from their mothers that help provide immunity, but immunity to CPV wears off before the puppies' immune systems are developed enough to destroy the virus and fight off infection.</span></div>

Parvovirus is an acute illness,<span style="color: #666666; font-size: 1.05em;"> which means that symptoms develop suddenly, usually within 2–10 days of exposure. In most cases, dogs that are infected with the virus do not develop the disease (called asymptomatic infection). Canine parvovirus often is fatal in puppies. Sometimes, puppies collapse and die without showing prior signs of infection.</span></div>

Without immediate treatment, canine parvovirus often progresses quickly. CPV can cause death within 2–3 days of the onset of symptoms, so it is important to seek veterinary care as soon as possible.</div>

If your dog's symptoms continue to improve, add a tiny amount of chicken to the broth and mashed potato. For a dog allergic to chicken, try dilute cottage cheese and rice or a form of rice baby food that is acceptable.</div>

Human drinks, such as Gatorade and sports drinks, are not ideal for rehydrating pets because they are high in carbohydrates. They can be used for a short period. Meat broth is better for dehydrated or sick pets.</div>

Many dogs vaccinated as puppies maintain resistance to infection throughout life. In part, this protection is provided by antibodies made by your dog's white blood cells.</div>

To confirm that your dog is protected, have your veterinarian draw blood and measure the level of parvo antibodies. This antibody level, also called a titer, is one gauge of your dog's protection against this specific disease. Many dog day care facilities accept titer tests as proof of protection rather than requiring that dogs be re-vaccinated annually.</div>

In addition to vaccine-induced antibodies, you can help prevent parvovirus by promoting good bacteria in your pet's intestines. Good, healthy bacteria help your dog resist all types of infection.

Do not take a puppy without vaccine protection to pet stores, dog parks, or roadside pet elimination areas. If dogs with parvo have ever defecated in these areas, the virus can persist in the soil for several years. In addition to staying in the soil, the virus can be carried away from the site of defecation on shoes, so that areas in the vicinity of where dogs have defecated can also be a source of infection. You can use bleach to kill the virus on the soil.</div>

Dogs stressed mentally or physically become ill easily because the adrenal glands secrete cortisol. Cortisol alters blood flow and it slows down disease-fighting white blood cells. If stressed, your dog's intestines will not receive the blood, oxygen, and white blood cells he or she needs to stay healthy. If your dog is exposed to parvovirus, the virus has an easier time becoming established and causing illness.</div>

The canine parvovirus is an extremely hardy disease that can live in a dormant but infectious state in the environment for one year or longer. When people handle dogs that may be infected with the parvovirus at shelters, kennels, animal clinics or dog parks and then pet another dog before thoroughly washing their hands, they unwittingly infect otherwise healthy dogs with the virus particles that they carried over from the infected dog.</span></div>
