Vaccination is very important. All it takes for a pup to become infected is for them to walk through an area with contaminated feces and then clean their paws.
Symptoms are varied and can worsen rapidly. Bloody stools, lethargy and little to no appetite are some of the more apparent signs.
“We tell you this to help protect your pets that you love,” the OCHS stated. “Please phone your veterinarian to make a vaccination appointment.”
