Utterly devastating news
Dog owners across the county have been issued a warning after a puppy died within 24 hours of showing suspected symptoms of the 'extremely contagious' parvovirus. Vets have seen an increase in the number of dogs with serious and life-threatening symptoms believed to be caused by the virus.
"There's a massive outbreak [of parvovirus]. Everybody should be made aware of how serious it is. It all happened within 24 hours." Canine parvovirus is spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their faeces. "It's like covid but for dogs. People might think their dog will be OK if they're vaccinated but they can still catch it. Blu was a very happy laid back dog who loved a good fuss - the sudden change to him was worrying."
