Northland puppies at risk of deadly 'parvo' outbreak
All Northland dog owners should beware of the outbreak of the deadly Canine parvovirus, also known as parvo, it is highly contagious and especially lethal for puppies.
Parvovirus is contagious and can survive in the environment for a year or more and be carried on to a property on shoes or car tyres, or caught from objects such as bowls and bedding. It could also be caught from the street, especially in urban areas where there were lots of dogs.
So far all the puppies brought in to Bay of Islands Vets have survived but only though intensive treatment in an isolation unit.
