  1. Then the virus will jump to human and we have another catastrophe..

  2. I heard on the news there is a dog in France that has contracted MonkeyPox!

  3. Hummmm a couple of weeks ago cats were "mysteriously" getting sick……. now its dogs??….. does anyone else find this, oh i don't know, suspicious??
    I think we should all be very careful with the food we feed our pets…… maybe they are putting bugs in the pet food, after all they have already started putting bugs "cricket flour" in some of our human food, sooooooo it is very likely they have or will put same in pet food

  4. Avoid sick dogs…so avoid veterinarians who take advantage?

  5. I live in TX. About 10 years ago my friend's 10 month old Old English Sheepdog came down with Parvo after being FULLY VACCINATED. I had been sitting him for about a day when he started vomiting and diarrhea. I took him to the vet ER here and they tried to send us home with medications because he was fully vaccinated they didn't want to give him a Parvo test. I refused to leave the ER until they did. Turned out it was positive. There are strains of Parvo that the vaccines don't cover or didn't then anyway. The drug company reimbursed my friend for all the treatments (he was in the hospital for a couple days) but he could've easily died. He would have of I hadn't insisted they do every test possible. I wasn't about to tell my friend who was vacationing in New York that her puppy was sick but they didn't know why.

  6. Check the food you're giving the dogs.

  7. Avoidance is best. Too many vaccines are bad too. It’s tricky to walk the fine line sometimes, making just the right decision at just the right time…. Be safe, everyone and your beloved pups.

  8. I watched my neighbors dog die of parvo. It was horrible. She was a shepherd lab mix, extremely smart, loyal, and obedient. RIP dear Roxie.

  9. Most likely is flawed tests/test technique.

    After all, they mentioned Detroit 😕

  10. Probably the dog food poisoned

  11. Good, hope they all perish. Dogs smell and are nasty.

  12. They are coming for our dogs now

  13. It's FROM THE VACCINE 💉!!

  14. ? Didn't that happen in Planet of The Apes- ? WE ARE SO DOOMED. 🪵🪓

  15. At least dogs do believe in vaccines, that's something.

  16. Pay attention to your pets and get them in to the vet pronto !

  17. In Philadelphia all dogs from an entire building pee and poop
    On a small tree
    That's awful 😞😞

  18. Don’t let them sniff poop or pee from other dogs.

  19. Keep your dogs away from dog parks and other dogs.

  20. This is why I am always horrified when people leave dog poop, it's dangerous for other animals even some humans

  21. Check the dog food. Anything Nestle is bad.

  22. We lost a dog to something similar to parvo. Our vet said it was called corona virus. This was years ago but I miss him still. Also he did have all his vaccines at the time. Now there is a vaccine for corona.

  23. here we go ..now the animals
    never in the history of mankind. since 2020, that is.

  24. Probably doggiepox……😅

  25. So people adopted dogs during the pandemic and many veterinary clinics closed down, or went to telehealth, or were just accepting emergencies, and now there's a parvo outbreak.

  26. When will these viruses just leave us alone? I want to commit toaster bath now

  27. If dogs spread this to us we will all die so we must send all dogs to camps and taken care of

  28. Reporting a disease outbreak without stating clearly where it is, is irresponsible.

  29. Sounds like parvo… my grandmas puppy died from it years ago very very sad

  30. What vaccines do you have to redo every year?

  31. Lord nobody is safe dogs are getting sick And dying
