SaberVet Canine Parvovirus Antibody Rapid Test

Product overview

Canine poliovirus is a highly contagious and deadly virus that is especially harmful to puppies. The virus is transmitted through direct contact with feces, vomit and contaminated objects of infected dogs, causing severe damage to the intestinal tract and immune system. 1.

Harmful effects of canine poliovirus Severe gastrointestinal damage: Diarrhea and Vomiting: Infected dogs will experience severe vomiting and watery or bloody diarrhea, resulting in a significant loss of fluids and electrolytes from the body.

Intestinal damage: The virus attacks the intestinal epithelial cells, resulting in intestinal hemorrhage and necrosis, severely affecting digestion and absorption.

Immune system damage: Leukopenia: the virus attacks the leukocyte precursor cells in the bone marrow, leading to a drastic reduction in the number of leukocytes, causing the dog’s immune system to collapse. Secondary Infections: Due to the compromised immune system, the dog is prone to secondary bacterial infections that exacerbate the condition.

Systemic Failure: Dehydration and Electrolyte Imbalance: Severe vomiting and diarrhea lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which if not rehydrated and corrected in a timely manner, can lead to shock and death. Myocarditis: Some infected dogs may develop myocarditis, which manifests as heart failure and is especially common in puppies. 2.
