A new strain of parvo has invaded the United States: Parvo Type 2-C.
This strain has been known to infect both puppies and adult dogs. Dogs infected with Parvo Type 2-C have the same symptoms as dogs infected with the common parvovirus. However, the tests done in the vet office to confirm diagnosis of PARVO may come back negative. AVMA reports that dogs vaccinated against the other forms of parvo may not have protection from this new strain of parvo. At this time, a vaccine is not available to protect dogs from Parvo type 2-C.
