Vets are urging pet owners to keep an eye out for signs of a deadly virus in their dogs.

獸醫敦促寵物主人注意狗中致命病毒的跡象。

The People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) says that as people take their dogs out for walks - or even let them out in the back garden for play or the toilet - they could be at risk from parvovirus, commonly known as parvo.

人民的生病動物藥房（PDSA）說，當人們帶狗散步時，甚至讓它們在後花園裡玩耍或廁所 - 它們可能會受到細小病毒的危險，通常被稱為Parvo。

They warn that this virus can cause "severe illness and death in dogs".

他們警告說，這種病毒會導致狗的“嚴重疾病和死亡”。

It damages the lining of the guts, resulting in severe diarrhoea and vomiting. It also attacks infection-fighting cells within the bone marrow, which weakens the immune system.

它會損壞腸道的內壁，導致嚴重的腹瀉和嘔吐。它還攻擊骨髓內的感染細胞，從而削弱了免疫系統。

The highly contagious virus can live for many years in the environment - and there is only one way to protect them.

高度傳染性的病毒可以在環境中生活多年 - 只有一種保護它們的方法。

You need to ensure that your puppy or dog is vaccinated regularly throughout their life, reports the Mirror.

鏡子報導，您需要確保您的小狗或狗一生定期接種疫苗。

As canine parvovirus (CPV) can affect infection-fighting cells in the bone marrow, weakening the immune system, this can be particularly dangerous for unvaccinated dogs and puppies under six months old.

由於細小病毒（CPV）可能會影響骨髓中的感染細胞，從而削弱免疫系統，因此對於六個月以下的未接種狗和幼犬來說，這可能是特別危險的。

Their underdeveloped immune system can make it harder for them to combat the virus.

他們的欠發達免疫系統可以使他們更難抗擊病毒。

How your dog can get parvo

你的狗如何得到parvo

Your dog may contract parvovirus while exploring its surroundings such as at a park or even your garden. Infected dogs shed the virus in their faeces within three to four days of infection, and it remains contagious for several weeks after symptoms disappear.

您的狗可能會在探索周圍環境（例如在公園甚至花園）的環境時收縮細節病毒。感染的狗在感染後三到四天內將病毒散發出糞便，並且在症狀消失後幾週一直具有傳染性。

Unfortunately, the virus can survive in the environment for months or even years, making it prevalent in areas dogs visit, such as parks, gardens and fields.

不幸的是，該病毒可以在環境中生存數月甚至數年，使其在狗參觀的地區普遍存在，例如公園，花園和田野。

It can also spread through contaminated dirt, affecting shoes, homes, dog leads, collars, bowls, clothing, toys, and even human hands.

它還可以通過受污染的污垢傳播，影響鞋子，房屋，狗線，項圈，碗，衣服，玩具，甚至是人類的手。

Can a dog die from parvo?

狗可以死於帕爾沃嗎？

Since there is no cure, dogs with parvovirus require intensive care and prompt medication. Without treatment, the virus can be fatal.

由於無法治愈，因此患有細節性病毒的狗需要重症監護和及時的藥物治療。沒有治療，病毒可能是致命的。

According to PDSA, a dog's chances of surviving are significantly higher if they receive veterinary care as soon as symptoms appear.

根據PDSA的說法，如果症狀出現，如果狗獲得獸醫護理，就會有生存的機會明顯更高。

They add: "Dogs that receive prompt intensive care whilst hospitalised in a veterinary practice are much more likely to survive but, unfortunately, due to the seriousness of parvovirus, some die even with treatment. Parvovirus is nearly always fatal without treatment. Puppies are more at risk of dying, especially those less than two weeks old."

他們補充說：“在獸醫實踐中住院的同時接受重症監護的狗更有可能生存，但不幸的是，由於細小病毒的嚴重性，有些人即使經過治療也會死亡。小溪病毒幾乎總是致命的，沒有治療。幼犬的風險更大，尤其是那些年齡不到兩週的幼犬。”
