Daisy Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) vomiting and diorrhea, general listlessness, not eating. The incubation period is around 10 days I think, when they get it they go downhill very fast and can be dead within a few days. If you think this is a possibility get the dog to a vet FAST! ETA vomiting and diorrhea can be symptoms of many things, parvo is only one possibility, but you really should get the pup checked by a vet. As parvo advances there will be blood in the vomit and diorrhea Edited June 25, 2007 by Daisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As parvo advances there will be blood in the vomit and diorrhea she's got glands up in her neck, and she sounds like she's snorting when she's breathing. doesn't do it all the time though. has vomited, diorrhea haven't seen yet. and her vomit was very smelling. have googles and done searches on here, but read a couple of things and it could be a couple of things thanks heaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendall Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 If you suspect it AT ALL get your dog to the vet ASAP! the sooner you 'catch it' the better chance your dog/pup has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I h ope you are not mixing the pups together. Parvo is deadly for most pups and most dogs. Every second counts so I wouldn't waste any more time posting, get down to the vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoo Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 did you get to the vet? what was the outcome? Parvo is a very fast moving virus and its horrible to see a dog trying to battle it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandgrubber Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 vomiting and diorrhea, general listlessness, not eating. The incubation period is around 10 days I think, when they get it they go downhill very fast and can be dead within a few days. If you think this is a possibility get the dog to a vet FAST! Another thing to look for is tucked up and VERY tender tummy. Parvo is painful for pups. My crew have never had it, but had a bad scare (the puppy had eaten a LOT of sand). The vet (not very experienced one) suspected parvo because of the acute gut distress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
