TOOWOOMBA West Vet Surgery veterinarian Catherine Burke knows it can get a bit tight this time of year, but warned dog owners to make sure their pets were vaccinated against parvovirus.
Mrs Burke's warning comes after the surgery admitted three cases of puppies suffering from the highly contagious virus in the last two weeks.
"Normally we only get one about every three months, but we've had three in just the last two weeks," she said.
In two of the three cases, Mrs Burke said the puppies had caught the virus because they had not received all of their vaccinations.
"They caught parvo because they hadn't had their second vaccination yet," she said.
She said the virus could easily be brought into the home by foot and the only protection was the vaccination.
"I've heard people say things are tight at the moment and they won't bother, but do bother," she said.
"There are no treatments because it's a virus and you've just got to support them while they get better."
