Gooding dog pound temporarily closes after positive canine virus testGOODING, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) - The dog pound in Gooding closed for ten days due to a puppy having a virus called Parvo.
A worker from the dog pound tells us a puppy has the virus that attacks the heart muscles.
Four dogs in the pound are quarantined to stop the virus from spreading and will all get vaccinations.
The worker tells us there is no cure for this
virus. Veterinarians can treat symptoms, but Parvo has a 70 percent
survival rate.
The vaccinations would prevent any dog that
hasn't been infected from being infected. They do not yet know if the
virus has spread to the other dogs.
They will make arrangements to house dogs if needed during the days they are closed
Technophobe's comment: Local dog owners would be well advised to vaccinate. I have seen parvo kill a friend's puppy. It was not pretty.
