Dog Vaccinations

Vaccinations are what keep your dog from getting sick. Puppies require a series of DHLPPC vaccinations. The vaccinations usually start between 6 and 8 weeks of age and need a booster every 3-4 weeks until they reach 16 weeks of age.

DHLPPC =

1) D = Distemper

Distemper is a nasty virus that is highly contagious, occurs world wide, and at one time was the leading cause of death in puppies. Young puppies are more susceptible to the virus then adult dogs. You may see signs of an upper respiratory infection with a high fever, the dog may also have neurological signs. This disease is often fatal.

2) H = Hepatitis or Adenovirus-2

This is spread by contact with the urine and feces of infected animals. The virus causes liver and kidney damage, animals that survive may have chronic illness. Symptoms include but are not limited to: fever, lethargy, anorexia, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea.

3) L = Leptospirosis

This disease affects the liver and kidneys and is deadly. Animals with this disease are contagious to other animals and humans. A positive dog should be isolated and the caregiver should wear protective clothing and gloves. The disease is spread through contact with urine of infected animals. Dogs with leptospirosis may show signs of lethargy, dehydration, jaundice, and fever

4) P = Parainfluenza

This is a virus that causes an upper respiratory infection. Dogs usually contract the disease through contact with nasal secretions of infected dogs

5) P = Parvovirus

This virus attacks the intestinal tract and causes severe vomiting and diarrhea. Parvo is highly contagious, dogs contract the virus through contact with an infected animals stools. Without treatment dogs become dehydrated and weak and often die. This virus is very common and puppies who are not properly vaccinated are often afflicted.

6) C = Corona virus

This virus attacks the intestinal system similar to parvovirus. Infected dogs suffer from vomiting and diarrhea and dehydration. Keep your pet vaccinated and your yard clean to protect your pet.

Make sure your dogs take all the above vaccination for them to grow up in a healthy form.

Parvovirus: Serious Diarrhea in Puppies & Dogs

(This is Leng Leng)




Today i would like to share about this virus any I had a bad experience in this virus on my previous puppies [bobo & leng leng], which is also pomeranian breed.

I bought both on last mth....when 1st bought home we juz bring them 2 d vet n had a physical check-up, the doc told us they are in perfect health by juz looking on them n listen to their heart-beat. We felt abit relief because they are both healthy...

1st day @ home both are so active, but on the 2nd day my leng leng doesn't seems active..... yet on 3rd day leng leng become active again but this time bobo doesn't want to eat at all...for whole day bobo juz vomit n diarrhea...Me n my friend quickly bring both of them to the vet again...

This time is a different doc...this doc told us there are 3 possibilities... 1 is they ate something wrong. 2nd is bacteria attack, 3rd n worse is virus attack.

The doc ask us to do d virus check n we did it, it was confirm parvovirus. We were so blur when we heard it... the doc only told us this virus will cause death to both because both dog lives together n most probly d virus has spread to leng leng. And bobo will possibly died on next day n leng leng will end up die also after 2 days. We ask is there any cure? The doc says there is no cure but they can try by giving them drops but is a 50/50 chance.

The doc really got it right. Bobo did passed away on d next day follow by Leng Leng on d day after.

Dog lover which saw this please pay attention to you puppies at home.... This virus is juz like a knife, it killed both of my puppies and I have cried for whole week long because I really missed them much.

Here some explanation on it

Canine parvovirus (CPV) disease is currently the most common infectious disorder of dog and is a highly contagious disease characterized by diarrhea that is often bloody.

How is parvovirus spread?

Parvovirus is spread through contact with feces containing the virus. The virus is known to survive on inanimate objects - such as clothing, food pans, and cage floors - for 5 months and longer in the right conditions. Insects and rodents may also serve as vectors playing an important role in the transmission of the disease. This means any fecal material or vomit needs to be removed with a detergent before the bleach solution is used.

The normal incubation period (time from exposure to the virus to the time when signs of disease appear) is from 7-14 days. Virus can be found in the feces several days before clinical signs of disease appear, and may last for one to two weeks after the onset of the disease


What are the symptoms of parvovirus infection?

The majority of cases of disease are seen in dogs less than 6 months of age with the most severe cases seen in puppies younger than 12 weeks of age. There are also significant differences in response to parvovirus infections and vaccines among different breeds of dogs

Parvovirus enteritis is characterized by vomiting (often severe), diarrhea, dehydration, dark or bloody feces, and in severe cases, fever and lowered white blood cell counts. Acute parvovirus enteritis can be seen in dogs of any breed, sex, or age. The disease will progress very rapidly and death can occur as early as two days after the onset of the disease.

How is parvovirus disease treated?

The treatment of parvovirus is fairly straightforward and directed at supportive therapy. Replacing fluids lost through vomiting and diarrhea is probably the single most important treatment.

All parvoviruses are extremely stable and are resistant to adverse environmental influences such as low pH and high heat. Exposure to ultraviolet light and sodium hypochlorite (a 1:32 dilution of household bleach - ½ cup bleach to 1 gallon of water) can inactivate parvovirus. The bleach solution can be impaired by organic matter and needs to have adequate exposure time and proper concentrations to work effectively.

Conclusion
In summary, parvovirus is a very common problem that is a huge killer of puppies. Due to its ability to be transmitted through hands, clothes, and most likely rodents and insects, it is virtually impossible to have a kennel that will not eventually be exposed to the disease. Modified live vaccines are safe and effective, but despite the best vaccination protocol, all puppies will have a window of susceptibility of at least several days where they will be at risk. In addition, the newer CPV-2c strain presents new challenges since it is less detectable in laboratory tests and current vaccines may not be as effective in providing protection against it. Prompt treatment by a veterinarian will increase survivability in infected puppies and working with your veterinarian on a vaccination program that is best for your puppy is important.

Qin Qin Diary...

Hi to all....Let me introduce myself...

My name is Qin Qin. I'm now 4 months old, I'm a Female Pomeranian breed with white double coated fur....

My name "Qin Qin" is actually = money [in Cantonese]

Now u can see how my owner hunger for money.... even name me as money +_+"

My owner observed me while I'm still in the pet shop for 2weeks before they bought me home....

Seems like they are afraid of something....

N' now I know what they are afraid of.... Parvovirus.... a kind of virus which can kill small breed puppies like me....

I know that both of my owner have 2 Pomeranian before and both of them unfortunately had parvovirus and pasted away.... they felt sad for that time and scared that same thing will happened on me...

While my owner taking me home, she let me sat on her laps... I was kinda worry on the start coz I'm not sure where I'll be taken to? But later on, I'm so curious on the environment...the scene outside seems like moving .... but Im still standing in d same place without moving.... really scared me awhile.... but after I'm familiar and know that it is safe, I try to move around....but my owner keep holding me and I only heard her said that : stop moving!! later on u'll fall....

After awhile the scene outside stop moving... they are taking me to somewhere....

They are taking me to the vets N' let the doc check do I have any virus which can cause me death.

I was so scared....the people there tickle me, pock me, hug me, blow on my fur and check on my whole body....

After I heard all those scary ppl there say OK to my owner... my owner quickly bring me to her car...and on the air-condition for me....wah~~ how nice...

After the vet, I was brought back to their home.... Im not sure who is who now....It seems that I have 2 owner now....hmm....confusing...
