Canine parvovirus enteritis is a highly contagious serious disease of young dogs. Labrador pup of 5 months was presented with the complaint of bloody diarrhea, and decreased feed intake. On physical examination, Pup was lethargic, depressed and dehydrated. There was no history of deworming and vaccination. Young pups were mostly infected by parvovirus and leads to diarrhea, dehydration and anorexia so the current infection was diagnosed as parvovirus infection. The pup was treated symptomatically using Ringer Lactate infusion for restoration of electrolytes and antibiotics (Ceftriaxone) to prevent secondary bacterial infection. Prognosis of disease is usually poor but fortunately pup was improving and was quite better on day third onward. So the same treatment was continued for next three days except Ringer Lactate infusion and animal recovered 7 days post infection
