My dog was shipped from Guiyang to Fujian; day one it was fine, day two it vomited and had diarrhea, day three it stopped eating and drinking, and this morning the hospital found parvovirus. How should I treat it?

Expert Answer

Treatment for a dog infected with parvovirus includes antiviral therapy, symptomatic care, and diet management. Injecting parvovirus monoclonal antibody or hyperimmune serum kills or neutralizes the virus for therapeutic effect, while symptomatic care based on symptoms includes IV fluids, electrolyte supplementation, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment, and preventing secondary infection.

During treatment, feed easily digestible soft or liquid food to help the dog recover strength. In addition, thoroughly clean and disinfect the dog’s living environment and keep air circulating to eliminate the virus in the environment.
