Guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey guys.Just a heads up that there's this thing called a parvovirus going around, it's made 8 dogs extremely ill and one has sadly died. If your dog is vomiting or shitting everywhere, stop what you're doing and take them to the vets. You can also get a vaccination from the vet, which is what I'll be doing anyway, just to play it safe.Bit more about it here.Dog dies from deadly bug in Aberdeen - Evening Express Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Cheers for this. Mentioned it to my Dad so he's going to phone the vet about getting the vaccine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeromiserY Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 kill it with fire. 8 whole dogs and 1 dead? sounds pretty much like evening express sensationalism to me. kind of like when swine flu hit the headlines."3 people worldwide die of swine flu. pandemic declared - bar your doors and windows, stockpile canned goods. prepare for looting."sorry, it was good of you to post the info but it does seem a tad excessive on the EE's part.

girl anachronism Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Publishing that 8 dogs have fallen ill and that only one has died isn't exactly sensationalising is it? I didn't see the article, but if they really wanted to sensationalise then perhaps they could have printed that it has a >90% mortality rate in untreated cases. Anyway, CPV is highly infectious, can be very expensive to treat and usually requires quite a long stay in a vet clinic and treatment with intravenous drugs if it's not caught very early on. Vaccination definitely makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeromiserY Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I didn't say "don't get your dog vaccinated, it's a conspiracy, the vets have had a slow business year"By all means get your dog looked at but 8 dogs?Pandemic! Pandemic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandemic!Are you having a laugh? If the disease is infectious then it's a good idea to keep an eye on it, and I'm glad that the Evening's got the word out. Get a grip man.

ZeromiserY Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm always having a laugh. Aye, get your dog vaccinated but....Fuck it, I don't have to explain myself. I'd eat a dog with parvovirus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Well, I don't think it was particularly sensationalist. Better to be safe than sorry. Good thing the EE are covering it. Better to fork out for a vaccination you'll probably not need than have a seriously ill/dying dog on your hands, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
