What are the symptoms of Bichon Frize’s parvovirus

The early stage is similar to cold symptoms, and the specific symptoms are divided into enteritis type and myocarditis type

Enteritis type parvovirus symptoms

The incubation period is 7- On the 14th day, the dog with enteritis initially showed depression, anorexia, fever (the highest body temperature can reach more than 40 degrees), soft stools or slight vomiting, and then developed into frequent vomiting and severe diarrhea. At first, the feces will be gray, yellow or milky white with jelly-like mucus, and then there will be foul-smelling soy sauce or tomato juice-like bloody stools. The sick dog suffered rapid dehydration, weight loss, sunken eye sockets, messy coat, inelastic skin, cold ears, nose, and limbs, severe depression, shock, and death. The symptoms from mild to severe at the beginning of the disease generally do not exceed 2 days, and the entire course of the disease generally does not exceed a week.

Myocarditis-type parvosymptoms

It is more common in puppies between 4 and 6 weeks old. There are often no warning symptoms, or only mild diarrhea, followed by sudden weakness, groaning, cyanosis of the mucous membranes, and extreme difficulty in breathing. The pulse is fast and weak, there is a murmur on heart auscultation, and death often occurs suddenly (possibly due to acute respiratory depression) within a few hours.


The transmission rate of parvovirus is high and can be transmitted through feces, urine, vomitus, and saliva. Parvovirus infection will worsen within 2-3 days without timely treatment. Death may occur within a week. If you suspect that you are infected with parvovirus, you can use a parvovirus test strip to detect it. If it is positive, you must be sent to a doctor immediately for treatment.
