Canine Parvovirus Disease
Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious disease that hits weaned-to-90-day puppies hardest and can be fatal; it appears as either an enteritis or a heart-muscle form. Fast vet care, rehydration, and immune support give the best odds.
What Causes Parvovirus in Dogs

See a vet; at home, vet-prescribed antibiotics plus lysine help, and isolate the cat since these viruses spread fast.
