Incorrect. Puppies infected with canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) between the ages of 3-8 weeks, particularly those without the benefit of maternal antibodies, are most likely to develop the cardiac form of parvovirus, which results in myocarditis The virus targets rapidly dividing myocardial cells causing sudden death and the fading puppy syndrome. Myocarditis is now rare due to widespread passive immunity. The intestinal form of the disease is most common in puppies over 8 weeks old that are infected with CPV-2. The virus targets intestinal crypts, the villi shorten and destruction of cypt cells occurs.This leads to grey, persistent, foul-smelling diarrhoea or haemorrhagic enteritis. There is high morbidity rate, with most puppies in the litter developing the disease but low mortality (10%). Puppies under 3 weeks are rarely infected by CPV-2, due to strong maternal immunity.
