Dog Parvo Symptoms
Filed Under Dog Parvo Symptoms | 33 Comments
If your dog, especially your new puppy, begins exhibiting any of these symptoms, see a veterinarian right away. When parvo is involved, every hour counts. The secret of survival is quick treatment, so don’t ignore these symptoms! One or all of these will usually being showing after 3 – 10 days of infection.
- Lethargic. If your dog normally likes to play and has high energy, this is the clearest sign that something is wrong. You could say they act depressed.
- Lack of Appetite. The more common strains attack the digestive system.
- Vomiting with no change in diet. It usually looks clear and foamy.
- Bloody Diarrhea.
- Stronger Feces Odor. It’s unmistakable and you will never forget it.
The vomiting and diarrhea are the most dangerous, as they can quickly lead to dehydration and malnutrition. This leads to other problems that eventually compound on top of each other to finally kill the dog. And fast.
Always be on the lookout these symptoms of parvo, especially if your puppy is over 10 weeks old.
To help maintain your puppy or dog’s health, we recommend Parvo-K.

DO NOT LISTEN TO NENNA!! He/she is an idiot. If your dog has been anywhere outside where other dogs have crapped before having his/her final round of shots, he/she are at risk!!! If your dog has symptoms you should see your vet immediately!!! Parvo is very serious and every hour counts!!!
my dogs throwup is clear but she’s still running and no diarrhea or nothing but she’s still the same old her and her eye is pussing really bad and i have no idea whats wrong
I have just lost a minpin to what I thaught was parvo but he went from playing to dead in about ieghteen hours. I have another dog that has just vomited a clear liquid with alot of bubbles but he has done that before. All of my dogs have had their shots but i’m stilled concerned that they may get sick and die
please someone help me i just got a 6week old boxer puppy he has had is worm shot but… he threw up this morning and he has been “pooping” a slimy substants i really hope it’s not parvo also he has been playing fine and acting the same
I have a puppy that is just now 12 weeks old and has been vomiting off and on all day. If he doesnt have diareah and still wants to rough house with my other dogs (I which is his brother and has been everwhere he has) what are the chances this could be parvo if only 1 puppy seem sick. I have seperated them for now and after 3 hours of throwing up cream colored thick vomit (could be picked up with a napkin with no liquid). basically does this sound like possible parvo or more of the little 8 lb mess just got something bad out of the garbage when he was being a naughty dog?
my dog is acting really weird she wont sleep and she doesnt want to run aroud (she usually does) shes not eating and she shakes like shes really cold…i dont know what to do …. the vet isnt open til monday and its only saturday does every hour really count…im really starting to get worried!!
Well, One of my puppies died from parvo a few years ago. Then when we got another dog he got it but we were able to save him. But then we got his daughter. And she started having red diarria a few weeks ago. I told my parents to take her to the vet but they were stupid and didnt listen. :/
And now she is acting slugginsh and you can see her bones and shes throwing up everything we feed her. Im positive she has it because thats what happend to my other 2 dogs. My parents just left to take her to the Vet. But shes like 6 months old. I hope they can save her…
renata take her to the vet asap.
some one please give me advice.. i got my puppy Bella a week and one day ago she is a little over 2 months old. i got her from a shelter. i am very worried. she threw up twice yesterday. and she is sleeping all the time… plays a little bit when other puppy is around but usually is sleeping. she has a very fast heart beat and wont eat or drink today. what do i do? someone please help.
I have a 5 yr old mini schnauzer that is vomiting…he vomited all food up then a few which look watery but then i found one that is foamy and sticky….no diarrhea though….he was in the closet and kind of shivering…..he got up when i asked him if he wanted to go outside and was ready to go and got a drink of water on the way….does this sound like parvo?
the best thing for all of u to do is bring him to the vet i no i cost money and theses are hard times but what is more important the money or ur dog? and i am sorry if any of u found out ur dog had parvo no one said if they did
im sitting here at my parents house watching one of their papillion’s tyler have diarrhea and they said it started last night… so i decided to check on here all the symptoms of parvo…. and by reading this i have come to the conclusion that if you have any doubt that your pet may be sick and they are not acting the same… parvo or not, it’s time to get your pet checked out by a professional vet…
Hi my dog has been sick lately
not sure what happen or why
she has had all her shots and there up to date
i also give her the heart worm pill every month
today after she pooped there was this slime stuff kinda brownish red the only time she goes out is to go to the bathroom she has had some diarria
and not eating much
i was wondering can a dog get parvo if they have had there shots
please some one help
I would just like to add that shaking is also a symptom. My mother got a puppy a few weeks ago who had parvo, and the shaking was the biggest symptom. She didn’t really have diarrhea or vomit much, but after a few days of shaking and acting sluggish we took her to the vet. She did not make it. My mother got another dog just a few days ago and we are now afraid that it may be infected too. It was fine the first few days, but now she is shaking like the first one, and we are worried it may be happening again.
Just take the dog to the vet if you have any bad feelings about what is going on. Emergency vets operate in many cities 24/7, you just have to look them up.
The shaking you all are speaking of is your pup running fever (could be parvo or other infections). Using infant tylenol may help with this but make sure to call the vet for dosage on your baby. Parvo stays in your ground and even in your floors (I believe for 6 months but I am no expert). If you have had a pup with parvo you need to treat your home and yard with bleach. I know it will kill your grass, but it will also kill the parvo. I don’t know what to do about carpeted areas, I have only dealt with hard wood/linolium. Getting the shots for parvo is definatly something I would look into, but know it is not %100. It is like getting a flu shot it makes it less possible but there is still a chance. Bottom line, if you have a sick baby, take him/her to the vet. Only then will you know exactly what you are dealing with and what your options are.

If your dog has not received it’s parvo shots and starts displaying any signs of sickness – get him/her to a vet IMMEDIATELY- do NOT wait.
Not all vaccinations are necessary and some cause cancer in dogs- but rabies and parvo are necessary.
Also= don’t go to any dog parks- they help spread illness/diseases in dogs. People don’t vaccinate their dogs and the dogs touch noses and “other places” and end up sick.

My dog is about 8 months old. she hasn’t eatin in 3 days i thought it was just the heat. She won’t walk on her back leg and is not acting the same she is not as happy as she used to be. Her poop is actually stronger and when she walked beside me after pooping i could smell it on her still.

I’m fourteen years old,and I got my first puppy at the end of july. she was 8 weeks old , and was a black toy poodle.Her name was lilly rose. She stop playing one day and started getting sick and having bloody diarrhea. I knew something was wrong cause she wouldn’t even lay with me anymore. My mom hadn’t heard of parvo for a long time.We thought she just got into something at first. She started this on a monday and we took her to the vet on wensday. Lilly had fluids and everything in her. She died on august 27 that thursday when I got home from school,she went right after I kissed her. You could hear her take two deep breaths and she was gone. She was my first puppy and it was so hard for me.
I have a 2 month old puppy. I got him on 9/16/09, today its 9/21/09. He was perfectly fine on 9/17/09 and 9/18/09. On 9/19/09 he didn’t eat anything and he had diarrhea. He just laid around all day, which isn’t like him. He ate once on 9/20/09 at 10:30 am. He hasn’t eaten today, he still has diarrhea and he threw up a white/clear liquid. And his stomach has been really hot lately so i put a damp wash rag on it. My boyfriend said it seems like he has parvo because he has had a dog that had parvo, but there is no blood in his stool. If he does not eat today we are going to take him to the doctor. But can someone please give me some type of advice. I’m really worried
Guy if your dog has any systems of throwing up or diarrea PLZ GO TO THE VET i just had a 9week old black lab puppy my first lab my dream dog got parvo and i had to put her down plz take the time and care to bring your pet in i put her down last ight and let me tell u i lost something that was really close to me every min counts so plz take care and bring your dogs to the vet even the smallest thing
i have a shih tzu terrier and their names are parker and pebbles. right at this very moment, parker is in the vet clinic, trying to fight for his life. it’s his 5th day today and the doctor said that if he ever survive the 7th day, he would surely be okay by then. i am so worried. he has got this stupid virus, parvo. i miss him so much and ever since he was admitted in the vet, i kept on visiting him so to give him emotional support, hoping he would feel loved and fight his sickness. just two days more of praying and hoping, i told the doctor.
unfortunately, just moments ago, pebbles, the other puppy vomitted and is showing symptoms of parvo.
i will be bringing her in the clinic early tomorrow. please pray for their survival. i’ve been praying almost all the time now.
i just dont care if i’ll be spending much, i just want them back, alive and kicking.=(
I just got a 3 mo.old pit bull on Thursday and he started vomiting, first it was food, then it was clear and foamy. But he continued to vomit. He had diarrhea from the moment I got him. He had his first round of vacs but no more. Friday, he was up and playing and he did eat but very little. Saturday, he wouldn’t eat but just drank water. Sunday I began giving him pepto, pedialyte, and baby rice cereal every hour. He began to act more lively but wouldn’t eat. His diarrhea was a dark brown. When I got up on Monday morning he was laying on the floor breathing heavy and limp. I moved him and he couldn’t move. I ran to call someone on the phone to where I could take him and he died just that fast. Parvo will kill your dog rapidly, so take him/her to the vet immediately and make sure you vaccinate.
I cant believe i found out about this information too late. My puppy died today at 5am. and im pretty sure it was parvo. I came from school yesterday at 3pm and found my dog in a corner outside in my balcony just shakin i called him to come and he wouldnt. I took him a shower and then saw that he was vomiting what looked to me like his own saliva this keept going on for hours then i notice he was having diarrhea with blood. When i gave him his food he didnt want to eat it, i also had to give him pedialite because one of my neighbors told me her dog had had this symptoms when her dog was a puppy and the vet told her to give him this.She waited 3days before taking him to the vet but he survived. I was going to take him today at 7am because they open the vet at 8am but at 5am i cheked my puppy n he could verly move so i gave him a bath because he was so dirty with his diarrhea and then he died in my arms when i was drying him with the towl.. I still cant accept the fact that hes gone,Why couldnt i have found out sooner how dangerous this was and that i didnt have time to wait.. RIP. MICKEY .
I have had 2 dogs that have had parvo the ones was a puppy we got from the pound, we didnt notice the signs in time and had to put him to sleep. The other one we gave him pedialite and kaopectate to calm his stomach so he could ride in a car then we got him to the vet immediately. He survived but only because we took him to the vet. Dont wait to see if its parvo if you think it is take him some vet offices will work with you on payments, agian only some but its worth the try to save a member of your family.
This website has helped me…my dog Trixie was going to be a year old next month..she had her shots but somehow she still got parvo..I took her last night and they said she did not have a fighting chance. I had to put my dog to sleep last night. The vet said that there was a new strand of parvo that was going around and it was extremely deadly. And that new strand of parvo is what my poor Trixie had.
Today I lost my dog of 4mths it hurts so much because he was so healthy and full of life just Sunday gone. He succumb to the deadly virus Parvo but by the time we got tru to the vet to have him checked out it was too late
The Parvo virus had him to the point where he was so helpless.Please people from the time u nnotice ur dog has a lost for appetite and begins vomitting foam like stuff most of the time its as a result of the Parvo virus he also had a bloody diarrhea. When the vet told us that his chances were very slim I had already made up my mind to put him to sleep the following day because he was in a lot of pain. I have another dog with whom my late dog grew up with she is in a mess because she knows what happen she is very quiet however I manage to get the vet to vaccinate her from the deadly Parvo because it is very contagious. Now I have to focus on her by showing her a lot off love and attention cause she is defintely going to grieve. The nite my dog died was the first nite they both seperated. If the same thing happens to
