02.01.2022 Recently there have been several cases of Canine Parvovirus in the Colac-Otway District. Whilst no one needs to panic, we strongly advise that you: Check your dog is up to date with their vaccinations. Ensure that all unvaccinated dogs are kept at home/away from areas where unvaccinated dogs may have been until 2 weeks after their final vaccination (for puppies this is 2 weeks after their 16 week vaccination). Canine Parvovirus causes severe vomiting and diarrhoea that can regularly be fatal even with treatment. It is a difficult virus to kill and can survive in the environment for a long time. Vaccination is the single most effective means of prevention. Pups should be vaccinated every 4 weeks from 6-8 weeks of age until they are 16 weeks. A further booster should then be given 6-12 months later, boosters are then given annually.
