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

兽医敦促宠物主人注意狗中致命病毒的迹象。

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.

人民的生病动物药房（PDSA）说，当人们带狗散步时，甚至让它们在后花园里玩耍或厕所 - 它们可能会受到细小病毒的危险，通常被称为Parvo。

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

他们警告说，这种病毒会导致狗的“严重疾病和死亡”。

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.

它会损坏肠道的内壁，导致严重的腹泻和呕吐。它还攻击骨髓内的感染细胞，从而削弱了免疫系统。

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

高度传染性的病毒可以在环境中生活多年 - 只有一种保护它们的方法。

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

镜子报道，您需要确保您的小狗或狗一生定期接种疫苗。

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.

由于细小病毒（CPV）可能会影响骨髓中的感染细胞，从而削弱免疫系统，因此对于六个月以下的未接种狗和幼犬来说，这可能是特别危险的。

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

他们的欠发达免疫系统可以使他们更难抗击病毒。

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.

您的狗可能会在探索周围环境（例如在公园甚至花园）的环境时收缩细节病毒。感染的狗在感染后三到四天内将病毒散发出粪便，并且在症状消失后几周一直具有传染性。

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，该病毒可以在环境中生存数月甚至数年，使其在狗参观的地区普遍存在，例如公园，花园和田野。

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

它还可以通过受污染的污垢传播，影响鞋子，房屋，狗线，项圈，碗，衣服，玩具，甚至是人类的手。

Can a dog die from parvo?

狗可以死于帕尔沃吗？

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

由于无法治愈，因此患有细节性病毒的狗需要重症监护和及时的药物治疗。没有治疗，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.

根据PDSA的说法，如果症状出现，如果狗获得兽医护理，就会有生存的机会明显更高。

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."

他们补充说：“在兽医实践中住院的同时接受重症监护的狗更有可能生存，但不幸的是，由于细小病毒的严重性，有些人即使经过治疗也会死亡。小溪病毒几乎总是致命的，没有治疗。幼犬的风险更大，尤其是那些年龄不到两周的幼犬。”
