We diagnosed a case of Parvoviral Enteritis in a dog last week. It's not very common in this area and is often fatal, even with aggressive in-hospital treatment.
It's one of the diseases we routinely vaccinate at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks. I recommend you not take un-vaccinated puppies into the community where they are more likely to be exposed.

The virus can live in a long time in the environment so a puppy can be exposed if a leaf contaminated with the virus blows in the yard or the pet owner can bring it on their feet.

Symptoms of Parvo can be, vomiting, bloody diarrhea and not eating.

Hello! Recently Dr. White performed a very delicate and difficult surgery on a 2 year old cat that weighed only 2 pounds. Her esophagus had telescoped in on itself which wouldn't allow food to get to her stomach. Her tiny size made anesthesia challenging but she came through just fine. Dr. White is board certified in emergency medicine and critical care, not to mention 52 years of surgical experience. You would be hard pressed to find a vet with those credentials even in Missoula or Spokane and we are SO LUCKY to have someone of his caliber right here in Heron!

Sorry for the mix up on the phone lines here at HVS. Our lines were crossed and VM was turned off for some reason. We are all back up and running strong!
