HGE is verry simler to parvo - except no one know the cause of it,

a vet needs to rule out parvo first though, especaly if quite a few dogs have come down with it.

get some pro-kolin it works a treat.

Parvo is a form of enteritis and as far as i know some forms

can be passed from dog to dog it all depends on the cause of the Enteritis.

There's cases of parvo up and down the country at the moment so anyone with young dogs

dont hesitate in getting you dogs vaccinated if not already done.
