"The main thing to remember is that any owner who thinks about waiting an extra day when he thinks his dog has it should not wait," said Komblatt. "If people let it go, their dogs may not be able to come back." Vet school officials at Auburn University in Alabama confirmed 30 cases of Parvovirus during June and state officials in Virginia estimated as many as 50 dogs died of the disease in that state during the same period.

No area seems immune to Parvo-virus. An article in DVM magazine said there have been recent outbreaks in Los Angeles Brush Warrants for first degree robbery and attempted rape were issued Friday in Associate Circuit Court for a 28-year-old Farmington man.

Some household items were taken and the residence was vandalized, deputies said. A burglary Thursday night was reported, to the sheriff's department at a mobile home occupied by Linda Johnson, Rt. 1, Farminotnn rWtntipc oaiH thp frnnt rimr nf RICHMOND, VA. (UPI) Sandra Burison of Virginia Beach was horrified as she watched a newly discovered, deadly disease reduce her playful German shepherd puppy to a living skeleton before her eyes. The sight is frozen in her mind, a shock she described as "a healthy puppy of 13 pounds changing into one of 6Vi pounds in a matter of hours." But Mrs.

Burison was one of the lucky ones her puppy lived. The disease, known as Parvovirus, is believed by some authoriities to be a mutated form of cat distemper. It is most often fatal when it strikes young dogs. "The dog is basically wiped out and it's very quick," said Dr. Arnold Komblatt, a virologist at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta.

"It's a severe dehydration." Symptoms of Parvo-virus include acute vomiting, diahhrea and fever. All of a stricken animal's bodily fluids are lost and death can come within a day. The disease was first identified in June, 1978 by Cornell University researchers and has since been detected in isolated pockets elsewhere. "With the flow of people and dogs, it's hard to say where it will crop said Komblatt "It used to be more associated with large numbers of dogs grouped together at kennels or dog shows or a research center," he said. "But it's gotten out into the general environment." Komblatt said the most recent large-scale outbreak occurred in March at a Long Island, N.

animal shelter, where the disease forced authorities to kill 106 dogs. Dr. R. V. H.

Pollock, a Cornell University professor and leading authority on Parvovirus, said pet owners should not panic, although the fatality rate for the disease is estimated at at least 40 percent for puppies and about 10 percent in older dogs. But- Pollock is taking Parvovirus seriously enough to urge veterinarians to use an unapproved vaccine to prevent its spread. There have been reports of epidemics of the disease in several areas, but authorities say there are no figures to support such claims. The University of Georgia's veterinary school reported, however, that incidents of Parvo-virus are up in the Southest. North Carolina state health officials confirmed 18 cases in 1979, but said there 'were 30 cases from January to May of this year and 12 in June alone.
