SPCA has confirmed that it has noted a large number of dogs affected by a very serious and deadly disease known as canine parvovirus in the past few weeks.
SPCA advises members of the public that the virus causes serious damage to the intestinal tract leading to blood loss and dehydration which can be fatal particularly in young puppies.
SPCA adds that symptoms include vomiting, loss of appetite and diarrhea.
SPCA encourages all dog owners who have noticed these symptoms in their pets to take their pets to a veterinarian immediately as this disease is preventable with vaccination.
