Does my cat have parvo

Feline parvovirus (parvo) is a highly infectious virus that may harm all types of cats, but it is most dangerous to unvaccinated cats and kittens. Direct cat-to-cat contact, as well as contact with infected feces (stool), settings, or humans, transmit the virus, which affects cats' gastrointestinal systems. The virus can also infect surfaces, food and water bowls, collars and leashes, and people who handle affected cats. The virus is resistant to heat, cold, humidity, and drying. Even tiny amounts of infected cat excrement can carry the virus and infect other cats that come into contact with it.
