However, the warm humid weather can be a very dangerous environment to our canine friends for many reasons. One of the most dangerous dog viruses that we often see in the area is Canine Parvovirus (CPV). CPV affects mostly young and adolescent dogs. CPV infects the gastrointestinal tract, lymph system, and bone marrow destroying cells and finally allowing intestinal bacteria to enter the bloodstream. This is a potentially deadly process in any dog that is not properly vaccinated by a licensed veterinarian.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Signs of CPV include vomiting and diarrhea-with or without blood, decreased appetite and lethargy. It is highly contagious and once introduced into an environment it can live in the ground for up to 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently in Georgetown County an increased number of puppies and mature adult dogs have tested positive for CPV. It is common practice in many areas for pet breeders and pet owners to purchase vaccinations from third party stores. These vaccines are often not handled properly and can become inactive and ineffective. The majority of CPV diagnosed is in dogs that have been vaccinated with these \u201cover-the-counter\u201d vaccines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a dog owner, puppy or adult, please speak with your veterinarian about what vaccines your pet needs and if your pet needs a booster vaccine. If you see any of the above mentioned signs seek veterinary care immediately.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The coast of South Carolina is a beautiful and relaxing place to live.
