Why Is Early Detection Of Parvovirus Important?
Risks Of Delayed Parvo Detection
You must act quickly if you think a puppy has parvo. Waiting too long can cause serious health problems or even death. Parvovirus spreads fast, especially where many dogs live together. If you wait, puppies can die from shock just two days after getting sick. Many puppies and small dogs may die within 48 hours from dehydration or sepsis. If sick puppies do not get help, 91% will not survive. Adult dogs are less likely to die, but parvovirus is still dangerous for them. Leukopenia and lymphopenia mean the puppy may not get better. If a puppy does not have a band neutrophil response in 24 hours after treatment, things usually end badly.
Finding parvo early lets you start emergency care and helps more puppies survive. The SaberVet® Canine Parvovirus Antibody Rapid Test shows immune status before you see symptoms. This test helps you check for parvo fast, so you can get help right away. Treating parvo early gives puppies a better chance to recover. Most puppies will die if they do not get treatment. The first five days are very important for survival. You can see how survival changes over time:
| Time Frame | Survival Probability |
|---|---|
| On intake to shelter | 85.6% |
| After 10th treatment | 96.7% |
