Abstract: A comprehensive study conducted at the Veterinary Clinical Complex, Kamdhenu University, Junagadh, Gujarat, from October 2022 to March 2023, involved screening 817 dogs for canine parvoviral infection using PCR, revealing 39 positive cases. Notably, non-hemorrhagic vomiting was predominant, observed in 38 dogs, while only one dog exhibited hemorrhagic vomiting. Hemorrhagic diarrhoea was reported in 29 dogs, contrasting with 10 cases of non-hemorrhagic diarrhoea. Anorexia was observed in 31 dogs. Assessment of dehydration severity revealed varying degrees, with 18, 11, 7, and 3 dogs experiencing mild, moderate, severe, and shock dehydration, respectively. Mucous membrane examination identified 11, 23, and 5 dogs with pale, pink and congested mucous membranes, respectively. Clinical parameters including rectal temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, and capillary refill time were evaluated, with significant increases noted in heart rate, respiration rate, and capillary refill time, while rectal temperature remained unchanged.
