Can small viruses be cured?

Because the course of small virus disease is divided into three stages: early, middle, and late, and the symptoms and measures taken in each stage are different. However, the entire process is treated with a comprehensive therapy of supplementation, control, prevention, and protection. "Supplement" refers to fluid supplementation, which adopts different fluid supplementation methods according to the degree of dehydration; "control" means to control vomiting and diarrhea; "prevention" refers to preventing gastrointestinal bleeding, secondary infections, and acidosis; "protection" means to strengthen nursing, etc. Specific situations require specific analysis and specific treatment plans.

Fever due to small viruses

Canine parvovirus disease usually presents as acute enteritis and myocarditis. The fever caused by small virus disease is due to acute enteritis causing intestinal bleeding, large amounts of putrefactive bacteria proliferation, and the toxins produced being absorbed by the body, leading to bacterial toxemia and persistent high fever in the affected dogs. When dogs have symptoms of diarrhea and blood in stool, they should be treated in time at the hospital to avoid delay in treatment.

Symptoms of small viruses

If a dog is infected with small viruses, it will have these symptoms: at the beginning of the disease, vomiting may occur, and the vomit consists of undigested food. As the disease progresses, the vomit becomes white or gray-yellow secretions, and sometimes small amounts of blood are vomited. The dog may appear weak in its four limbs. The temperature may rise to 40℃-41℃. Later, the dog may show signs of fatigue, lying down preference, loss of appetite, persistent vomiting, and diarrhea. The stool is initially yellow or gray-yellow, accompanied by detached intestinal mucosa, and later becomes hemorrhagic diarrhea, presenting with a typical tomato-like fetid stool.

Treatment for small virus disease

The main manifestations of small virus disease are vomiting, diarrhea, blood in stool, and loss of appetite. Therefore, the treatment for small virus disease mainly focuses on stopping vomiting, reducing inflammation, and providing supportive therapy. There are mainly two treatment plans. Plan One: fluid replacement therapy. If a dog has vomiting before fluid replacement, a dose of anti-vomiting medication should be given first, followed by anti-inflammatory, fluid replacement, and nutritional supplementation. Plan Two: injection therapy. The effect of injection therapy is slightly worse than that of fluid replacement therapy. Injection therapy also focuses on stopping vomiting, reducing inflammation, and stopping bleeding. Additionally, owners need to administer liquid food or glucose at home, but the cure rate is lower.
