Parvovirus Outbreak in Renton Park Endangers Local Dogs
Canine Parvovirus, also known as "Parvo," has been spreading in King County's Petrovitsky Park, leading to at least three known infections in the last month. The virus is highly contagious and can be fatal to dogs if not promptly treated. Dog owners are advised to ensure their pets are vaccinated and to keep them away from infected dogs and pet waste. Treatment options include vaccines for prevention and monoclonal antibody treatment for infected dogs. It is crucial for dog owners to clean up after their pets to prevent the spread of the virus.
