Canine Parvo Virus Enteritis

Weeks will pass with no sign of Canine Parvo Enteritis, and then this nasty virus reappears. Parvo Virus Vaccinations are so important for prevention of this devastating disease.

Our most recent Parvo patient is recovering well. Daily visits from the puppy's family help keep his spirits up while intensive nursing care 24/7 provides the treatment necessary to allow his little body to heal.

I look forward to the day when all puppies are vaccinated, and Parvo becomes a rare disease.
