Canine parvovirus management: Nutritional, environmental, and vaccination strategies

Abstract

Canine parvovirus (CPV) stands as a significant pathogen affecting domestic dogs, particularly puppies, with severe consequences for morbidity and mortality. This research paper aims to provide the dynamics of canine parvovirus (CPV) infection, focusing on diagnostic conventional methods and preventive strategies. It delves into the history, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic advancements of CPV, using a case study of a German Shepherd to illustrate diagnosis and treatment protocols. The study emphasizes the global prevalence of CPV, susceptibility in different breeds, and the importance of a holistic approach to prevent and manage infections. Key preventive measures include vaccinations, owner education, hygiene practices, and proper nutrition.
