TORONTO — Ontario is warning dog owners in Windsor about a viral outbreak that has left more than a dozen pets dead.
The outbreak has killed 14 dogs in the past two weeks and left 21 dogs either sick or at risk of becoming sick. Animal Welfare Services have taken the surviving dogs to a spot where they can be isolated and treated. "The parvovirus can progress very quickly, so if you feel like your animal has been affected or appears unwell, reach out to your family vet as soon as possible to get the treatment that's required because the likelihood of success is greater the earlier that it's detected," said Chief Animal Welfare Inspector Melanie Milczynski.
