Parvovirus
Parvovirus is a viral disease of dogs. It affects puppies much more frequently than it affects adult dogs. The virus likes to grow in rapidly dividing cells. The intestinal lining has the biggest concentration of rapidly dividing cells in a puppy's body. The virus attacks and kills these cells, causing diarrhea (often bloody), depression and suppression of white blood cells -- which come from another group of rapidly dividing cells. In very young puppies it can infect the heart muscle and lead to "sudden" death.

Its a terrible disease often abbreviated as parvo. affecting only younger puppies, not adult dogs. My of my dogs got it and it was terrible she lost alot of weight and was very tired all the time, so we immediately took her to the vet and they treated the parvo, and she was back to her normal self within a couple of weeks. But also the're is a vaccine that can be administered by a vet or the're is an at home shot you can get but you should administer it within a week of getting your puppy.
