Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious, often fatal disease of dogs, especially puppies, causing severe vomiting and bloody diarrhea.

Dogs can absolutely be calcium-deficient — it shows as rickets and double rows of teeth in puppies, weak legs and joint swelling in adults, brittle bones in seniors, and postpartum tetany in nursing mothers.

Can a Dog’s Arthritis Heal on Its Own

Dog Fever: What Medicine and How to Treat

What to Do When Your Dog Sneezes
A dog sneezing can mean a cold, an allergic or irritant reaction, plain excitement, or — most importantly — an infectious disease like distemper or parainfluenza. Because early distemper mimics a cold, see a vet when in doubt rather than guess.
Can Dog Skin Diseases Spread to Humans?
