DETECTION OF CANINE PARVOVIRUS AT THE ANIMAL LODGE
The Animal Lodge (TAL) is a facility for animal welfare groups, independent shelters, and pet farms. Located off Kranji Expressway (KJE) Exit 5 along Sungei Tengah Road, TAL contains 112 units housed within 20 two-storey blocks. It contains shared facilities such as dog runs, as well as commercial spaces.
NParks/AVS is investigating a suspected outbreak of canine parvovirus with other possible viral co-infections at a boarding kennel. NParks/AVS is working with the affected premises to contain the spread of the disease.
If you receive any animals from TAL for treatment, please exercise the necessary precautions. If you suspect any animals are infected with parvovirus, please advise the owners to adhere to good hygiene and biosecurity measures, to minimise the risk of spreading the disease.
Parvoviral infections in dogs - No vaccination or booster vaccination is usually the cause of this contagious disease. The vaccine is effective, but most Singapore dog owners do not bother with booster infections especially when they board the dogs.
