What happens if a dog gets parvovirus?

A dog infected with parvovirus usually shows vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite, lethargy, and fever, and as it progresses the stool becomes like rotten tomatoes with a very foul smell; without timely treatment the dog gradually dehydrates, weakens, and dies. In addition, some dogs get the cardiac form, with arrhythmia, muscle tremors, and fever, which often leads to death shortly after onset. Therefore, once the owner sees fever, diarrhea, or poor appetite, take the dog to a vet promptly; if parvovirus is confirmed, use interferon and symptomatic treatment. Prevention matters more than treatment, so dogs over two months old should be vaccinated in time..
