Dogs ditched at Wexford roadside may have had deadly, contagious virus - 'Someone in the area has a litter of sick puppies'

Both pups were found a few days apart in a relatively close area. I don't think this second little pup is going to make it.

We believe the pups may have been infected with parvovirus, which is an awful disease that causes them to bleed internally. If dogs are vaccinated, they have some chance against it. But it can be deadly.

If there's one or two, there's likely more pups that are dead or dying. Someone in this area must have a litter of very sick puppies that are suffering.

The rest of the litter will need urgent treatment and we will help. Anything is better than dumping these dogs on the side of the road.
