What does parvo look like?

Parvovirus, commonly known as parvo, primarily affects dogs and is characterized by symptoms such as severe vomiting, diarrhea (often bloody), lethargy, and loss of appetite. In puppies, it may also present with a distinct foul-smelling stool. The virus can cause damage to the intestinal lining and immune system, leading to dehydration and severe illness. If you suspect a pet has parvo, it's crucial to seek veterinary care immediately.
