Important Community Pet Health Update 🚨🐾
We have seen a significant increase in canine parvovirus (“parvo”) cases in our area over the past several weeks, including 11 positive cases here at EVH from April 1 – May 6th.
Parvo is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening virus that mainly affects puppies and young dogs, though any unvaccinated dog can be at risk. The virus spreads easily through contact with infected f***s or contaminated surfaces and can remain infected for long periods of time.
Common signs of parvo include:
🐾 Severe lethargy
🐾 Vomiting
🐾 Diarrhea (often bloody)
🐾 Loss of appetite
🐾 Fever or low body temperature
If your dog is showing these signs, especially if they are not fully vaccinated, please seek veterinary care immediately.
The good news: parvo is largely preventable through vaccination.
Help protect your pets by:
✔️ Keeping puppies on their vaccine schedule
✔️ Avoiding high-risk public areas until fully vaccinated
✔️ Keeping adult dogs up to date on vaccines
✔️ Practicing good hygiene around sick pets and contaminated areas
Please help us spread awareness and keep our community pets safe ❤️

Could your pet survive the heat today?
Heat stroke can escalate quickly and become life-threatening before you even realize something is wrong. In this video, Dr. White from Animal Emergency Clinic of Northeast walks through what to watch for and how to act fast.
Early signs can include heavy panting, excessive drooling, vomiting, lethargy, or trouble walking. Some pets are at higher risk, especially flat-faced breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs, senior or overweight pets, and those with thick coats.
If you’re concerned, move your pet to a cool area, offer small sips of water, and use cool, not cold, water to help lower their temperature while you head in to see our emergency care team.
Prevention goes a long way. Avoid peak heat hours, never leave pets in a car, and make sure they always have access to shade and water. If you think your pet may be experiencing heat stroke, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.
