A deadly, but preventable, dog virus is spreading across central Indiana and local shelters are warning pet owners to make sure their furry family members are vaccinated.
There is no cure for parvovirus, which is more likely to infect puppies than healthy adult dogs. Symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, lack of appetite and lethargy.
Treatment, which can sometimes be effect in allowing the animal to survive until the virus is gone, can cost several thousands of dollars. Prevention through vaccination is the best way to keep pets safe from this deadly disease.
