POLICE LOGS "No paws on the ground" is a rallying cry for those in- volved in the care, rescue and trans- port of home- less puppies. However, it should also be for anyone who has a puppy or dog who has not had a full schedule of vacci- nations. "Why" is the question. Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV2), also known as Parvo, is not only the most widespread infectious dis- ease of dogs in the United States, but it is also ex- tremely rampant in Tehama County. Highly contagious, exceptionally hardy and of- ten fatal, it will cause un- imaginable anguish to a pet guardian. Contact with contami- nated items easily spreads parvo. A dog can develop the disease when he/she licks, sniffs, or has contact with any person, animal or object that has contacted the excrement of an in- fected dog. Therefore, any- where a diseased dog emp- ties its bowels is the per- fect avenue for you to bring home the virus. Highly re- sistant, this nasty bug can survive on inanimate ob- jects such as food bowls, shoes, floors, tires, etc. for months. Do not believe that with the ground frozen during these winter months it is safe to let your puppy run freely. It is not safe. Freez- ing will not kill the virus. In addition, if you decide to wait for a thaw before safely introducing the new puppy outside, again be cautious. Locations even with good sunlight and warmth are potentially harmful until a period of five (5) months post-contamination has passed. The most effective dis- infectant against any vi- rus (including parvo) is BLEACH. Any area believed contaminated, and is eas- ily cleaned, should be thor- oughly washed with one part bleach mixed with 30 parts water. To kill the vi- rus, provide a minimum of at least 10 minutes of con- tact time with the bleach solution. However, there must not be any organic material present for the bleach to work. Therefore, remove all feces, urine, and vomit from any object prior to disinfecting with the so- lution. Parvo will affect most members of the dog fam- ily, but it will not infect hu- mans. The most vulnera- ble targets are young pup- pies with underdeveloped immune systems and un- vaccinated older dogs that have compromised immune systems. Doberman Pin- schers, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Labrador Re- trievers and Rottweilers, as well as other black and tan breeds, seem to be partic- ularly prone to parvo, with a lower chance of recovery than any other breed. It is also worth mentioning that the new, remarkably viru- lent, strain of parvovirus (CPV-2c), discovered in the year 2000, is able to infect cats. Cats, however, if vac- cinated against feline dis- temper, are considered pro- tected. To survive parvo, the se- cret is rapid treatment. Therefore, do not delay seeking immediate veteri- nary assistance if your dog, especially a puppy, begins exhibiting symptoms. Af- ter 3-7 days from being ex- posed, one or all of the fol- lowing symptoms will ap- pear. The dog becomes lethargic and possibly fe- verish. If the dog usually has high energy, this is the one of the surest signs that something is amiss. A loss of appetite occurs. The dog will have vomit- ing and bloody foul-smell- ing diarrhea. The vomiting and diarrhea are the most dangerous, because they quickly lead to extreme fluid loss which results in dehydration and malnutri- tion. Shock and death sub- sequently occur. There are no effective antiviral drugs, so the dog's own immune system must generate the cure. Any treatments given are strictly supportive so the animal is kept alive long enough for his immune re- sponse to generate. Expect that, if the dog is to recover, he will be in intensive care, with at least a 5-7 day stay at significant expense. In addition, if the dog recov- ers, he will continue to be a risk to other dogs and will need to be isolated from them for a minimum of two months. The surest way to avoid infection is to vaccinate be- ginning when puppies are 6-8 weeks of age. Every 3 to 4 weeks, until the puppy reaches 16 weeks, vaccina- tions are given. During this period, do not allow them to be with other dogs or go to areas where other dogs have been until 2 weeks after they have had their last vaccination. It is rec- ommended that boosters be given, even though in- fection is unusual in adult dogs. There is some thought that annual vaccination is not necessary, especially when adult dogs are con- sidered low risk. Therefore, do not be surprised if your veterinarian switches to a 3-year schedule for your adult dogs. Remember as far as parvo is concerned, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
