Thank you for submitting your question regarding Boo boo. Canine parvovirus and feline parvo are genetically similar, but species specific diseases. They can have some of the same clinical signs in pets. The diseases are most common in unvaccinated or improperly vaccinated patients. There is a test that can be used in the veterinary clinic to diagnose the virus. I hope this information helps!
