A friendly tip regarding Parvovirus:
For those in vet med, if you hear the presenting complaint involves a litter of pups or any young unvaccinated dog with diarrhea, ask if they are also vomiting. If so keep the patient(s) in the car and Parvo test before ever having them inside. This prevents A LOT of cleaning. And you can bring the patient directly where it may stay for hospitalization or keep it at the car for work up and treatment if attempting at home care.
For those not in vet med, please let your vet staff know if your pet is having not only diarrhea but also vomiting and the vaccination status of you pet. Especially if they are a young puppy.
Sincerely,
Your tired vet who smells vaguely of bleach
