New York City veterinary facilities are reporting an increase in viral cases infecting dogs that can lead to severe acute gastrointestinal disease and pose as potentially fatal if not treated. Canine parvovirus (CPV) is highly contagious and can spread through direct contact and contaminated surfaces. Symptoms develop within two to 14 days of infection and include vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, fatigue, fever and abdominal pain. #cpv #parvovirus #dogs #nbc
