Let's talk about it in detail below.

Can dog parvovirus be transmitted to humans?

According to investigations, parvovirus and rabies virus can be transmitted to humans, but the probability of parvovirus being transmitted to people is relatively small. Even if people are infected with parvovirus, there is no need to be afraid, as it is not as powerful as rabies virus. After people are infected with parvovirus, they will experience diarrhea or even bloody stools. They can recover on their own without going to the hospital, but they cannot delay going to the hospital for a long time otherwise it will be life-threatening. Canine parvovirus can be transmitted to other dogs through humans, so humans should not come into contact with other healthy dogs after coming into contact with sick dogs.

What to do if your dog has parvovirus?

If the disease is found, the animals should be isolated and raised immediately. Prevent sick dogs and their keepers from coming into contact with healthy dogs, and repeatedly disinfect kennels and areas with 2% alkali water or 10-20% bleach. It is important to remind you that if you have had a puppy with this disease at home, even if the environment has been disinfected, you should never bring home another puppy that has not received all the vaccinations, otherwise it will quickly spread the disease.

Clinically, symptomatic treatment is mainly used in combination with hyperimmune serum and monoclonal antibody treatment (for early stage cases with milder symptoms, monoclonal antibodies are more effective than hyperimmune serum). The cure rate for adult dogs is higher than that for puppies, and that for mixed-breed dogs is higher than that for pedigree dogs (pedigree dogs are mostly the result of inbreeding and have low immunity). The prognosis for puppies is cautious.

There is a highly immune serum for canine parvovirus on the market, which can be tried. According to reports, early use combined with symptomatic treatment has a better therapeutic effect. But in its later use, it has little significance. During treatment, you can also try canine interferon, canine virus spirit (the main ingredients are interferon, immunoglobulin, etc.), vomiting and diarrhea Ning, canine disease one-shot Ling, canine disease Kang, etc.
