Parvovirus warning for Cannons Creek
The SPCA is urging all dog owners to vaccinate against Parvovirus.
It says it has encountered several cases of parvovirus – a highly infectious and often fatal disease – in the Cannons Creek area.
"Our Inspector has door knocked in the area to warn of the risk of parvovirus and the importance of vaccinating their pets. They are currently working with the owners and ensuring the dogs are getting the veterinary care that they need."
Parvovirus can affect dogs of all ages, however, it is more common in unvaccinated puppies under six months old. The virus is spread by contaminated faeces and vomit and can remain in the environment for 12 months, sometimes longer.
Symptoms of parvovirus typically include lack of appetite, depression, lethargy, fever, vomiting and diarrhoea (sometimes bloody). Just taking your pet for a walk down the street to the park can put them at risk of parvovirus if they’ve not finished their course of vaccinations
