Clinics here put brakes on parvo outbreak

A handful of sick dogs were discovered in Columbia.
Parvo is very contagious and attacks a dog's intestinal tract, according to Dr. Robert Bartlett of Columbia Animal Hospital.
The disease can cause mild illness in vaccinated dogs, but it can be fatal to dogs that haven't had the vaccine, he explained in August.
Parvo is spread through contact with bodily fluids or fecal matter. It can be particularly deadly for puppies, Bartlett said. It does not affect humans.
