Update: More dogs die as Parvo hits Ladysmith hard
Many dogs died during the course of last month
More dogs died during the course of last week at the Animal Anti-Cruelty League (AACL) as a result of Parvo.
“We tried to save the dogs, but the deadly virus was too severe,” says Annamarie Koen of the AACL.
Many dogs died during the course of last month (August).
Parvo is every new puppy and dog owner’s worst nightmare. In a matter of days, a perfectly healthy puppy can go from playful and active to fatally ill.
