Respiration and heartbeat are higher than a human’s, and they are higher in puppies. Pale gums indicates anemia. Since parvo attacks the intestinal tract, the puppy in question is bleeding severely. If this isn’t a hypothetical situation, this puppy needs a vet yesterday
a puppys gums will turn pale/white when a puppy is anemic not when it has parvo although in rare cases this does happen a it is NOT a sign of parvo..but if your puppy has pale/white gums TAKE IT TO THE VET anemia is very serious in dogs and can lead to death if not treated…dogs heart rate are always higher than a humans the breathing rate is affected by many factors although you do not want a pup to be breathing really fast if it looks like hyper ventilation try to calm her/him down and TAKE IT TO THE VET
all to often people assume that a animal has a simple problem that can be delt with at home this is mostly never the case and you need regualr vistits to your vet
talk to your vet about health
I have no idea because my dogs have all been vaccinated against it and I have never had one get parvo before, but I wouldn’t wait until that point to get my dog to a vet. If your dog is suspected to have parvo, I would get him checked out by a vet ASAP and make sure your dog doesn’t come in contact with other dogs because you’re putting the other dogs at risk if you do.
