Parvovirus Treatment

What is canine parvovirus (CPV)?

The canine parvovirus (CPV) infection is a highly contagious viral illness that affects dogs. The virus manifests itself in two different forms. The intestinal form and the less common form which is the cardiac form.

Parvovirus is one of the most common causes of illness and death in dogs worldwide.

CPV Symptoms Include:

• Bloody Diarrhea
• Lethargy
• Anorexia
• Dehydration
• Vomiting
• Collapse

How can my dog be treated?

While vaccination can help prevent parvovirus, there have been no antiviral treatment options for dogs who become infected until now, with the Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody (CPMA) by Elanco.

Though CPV vaccinations are highly effective and widely available, MVC Vet Care offers this new one-dose treatment for dogs/puppies infected with parvovirus available at our hospital.

For more information about the science behind this antibody, visit Elanco’s website.
