Parvovirus outbreak reported in Creston

The Creston Veterinary Clinic has seen an increased number of dogs with parvovirus in recent weeks.

Dr. Katie Neufeld says it’s highly contagious

The virus spreads between dogs through contact with infected feces but people and other animals aren’t at risk.

Symptoms include lethargic behavior, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite.

Vaccination and good hygiene are key to preventing its spread.
