See my cute lil fantasia! Quite difficult to get her to post like that. It took only a 1-2 seconds for me to snap as the minute i take away my hands from stroking her, she gets up. Manja baby!! She had Parvo virus and it's really a miracle that's alive, well and kicking! Bravo Fantasia!!! Ceh, sound like American Idol pulak.
Parvo virus basically is a viral disease of dogs and mainly affects puppies than adult dogs. The virus likes to grow in rapidly dividing cells. The intestinal lining has the biggest concentration of rapidly dividing cells in a puppy's body. The virus attacks and kills these cells, causing diarrhea (often bloody), depression (dog also have, unbelievable!) and suppression of white blood cells which come from another group of rapidly dividing cells. In very young puppies, it can infect the heart muscle and lead to "sudden" death. I already lost 1 or 2 puppies to Parvo virus :( It normally takes a few days and the puppy will just die. It's pretty sad as there's nothing you can do to help them.
