If you live in the U.K city of Bristol or surrounding areas make sure your parvo-virus inoculation is up to date.
Vets in the Bristol area are reporting a larger than average amount of dogs being diagnosed with the illness.
Both the RSPCA and PDSA clinics in the city have seen about 20 dogs with symptoms of the parvo virus since May.

Linda Day, the PDSA's senior vet, has been reported as saying: "This sudden influx of cases is worrying. Parvovirus is often fatal and is particularly serious in puppies, as they also risk developing heart disease from the virus".

ADVICE....

Owners should be aware that if their dog starts vomiting or develops diarrhoea it is crucial to contact their local veterinary practice as soon as possible.

We don't want to detract from this very very serious situation, but this explanation I found is one of the funniest
