What is a common symptom of Parvo in animals?

Severe vomiting and diarrhea
Sore throat
Skin rashes
Eyelid inflammation

The correct answer is: Severe vomiting and diarrhea

Severe vomiting and diarrhea are hallmark symptoms of Parvovirus infection in animals, particularly in dogs. This viral disease primarily affects the gastrointestinal system, leading to extensive inflammation of the intestines, which results in the inability to absorb nutrients and electrolytes. Consequently, affected animals often experience significant vomiting, which can be persistent and severe, paired with profuse diarrhea that frequently contains blood. The combination of these symptoms can rapidly lead to dehydration and more serious health complications if not promptly addressed. Recognizing these symptoms is crucial for early intervention and treatment to improve recovery outcomes for infected animals.
