PARVO:  (8 week olds receive 1st round before leaving our home)
What is Parvovirus?  
Parvovirus (CPV or parvo) is a contagious viral infection. It spreads through direct or indirect contact with infected feces. 
Dog parks, kennels, and your vet’s office are hotspots for transmitting this illness. Loved ones can even bring the disease into your home on the bottom of their shoes.
It’s a disease that attacks the lining of your dog’s digestive tract. But it can also attack young immune cells.
And … puppies are the most susceptible. -Dogs Naturally Magazine-

Symptoms of parvovirus?
The hallmark symptom of parvo is blood-stained feces with a yellowish tinge and a very distinct, unpleasant smell. But other symptoms can include lethargy, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, fever and vomiting.  -Dogs Naturally Magazine-

ADENOVIRUS TYPE 2: (Hepatitis)  (8 week olds receive 1st round before leaving our home)
This disease has two names. Infectious canine hepatitis is caused by canine adenovirus. 
Dogs can get infected through urine, feces or saliva from infected dogs. Dogs who’ve recovered from hepatitis can shed the virus in their urine for 6 months. 
Signs of hepatitis infection include …
  • Fever of 104 or more, lasting 1 to 6 days 
  • Increased heart rate 
  • Spontaneous bleeding 
  • Apathy 
  • Loss of appetite 
  • Thirst 
  • Eye inflammation, watery discharge 
  • Nose and mouth red or bruised-looking 
The virus targets organs like blood vessel linings, liver, kidneys, spleen, lungs. Mortality is highest in very young dogs. 
Again, consult your vet if you see these symptoms in your dog as the disease can be deadly. If your dog is ill enough to have blood loss, he may need transfusions.
