In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we review outpatient therapy for canine parvovirus (CPV). Canine parvovirus infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in young dogs, and unfortunately most small animal practitioners have observed first-hand the destruction this virus can cause. Dogs diagnosed with CPV can require intensive therapy and prolonged hospitalization, which can make this an expensive disease to treat. In this study by Perley and et al entitled "Retrospective evaluation of outpatient canine parvovirus treatment in a shelter-based low-cost urban clinic," an outpatient treatment protocol for CPV was evaluated in a low-cost urban clinic at which inpatient treatment was not possible and owners shared responsibility for patient care.
