Roxy's False Joint Usually we see hip dislocations following car accidents, but for little Roxy the 13 ½ year old Cocker Spaniel, all it took was falling down a couple of stairs on the weekend. She is a stoic little dog, however was unable to bear weight on her leg, so was brought straight in to see us.

Despite a highly effective vaccine which covers all the current strains of canine parvovirus, there are still regularly cases of parvovirus in unvaccinated animals in Sydney, and there was a puppy infected locally in the past couple of weeks. Parvovirus is shed in extremely large numbers in the faeces of infected dogs, and can survive months in the environment. Only a tiny amount of this infected faeces needs to enter the body of an unvaccinated dog via ingesting it or even grooming it off their body.
