How long Aftwr a puppy catches parvo will the gums start to change to pale? Also, how fast does a puppy breath and heart rate? Fast or slow? Faster than a human?
talk to your vet about health
I have no idea because my dogs have all been vaccinated against it and I have never had one get parvo before, but I wouldn’t wait until that point to get my dog to a vet. If your dog is suspected to have parvo, I would get him checked out by a vet ASAP and make sure your dog doesn’t come in contact with other dogs because you’re putting the other dogs at risk if you do.
Respiration and heartbeat are higher than a human’s, and they are higher in puppies. Pale gums indicates anemia. Since parvo attacks the intestinal tract, the puppy in question is bleeding severely. If this isn’t a hypothetical situation, this puppy needs a vet yesterday

a puppys gums will turn pale/white when a puppy is anemic not when it has parvo although in rare cases this does happen a it is NOT a sign of parvo..but if your puppy has pale/white gums TAKE IT TO THE VET anemia is very serious in dogs and can lead to death if not treated…dogs heart rate are always higher than a humans the breathing rate is affected by many factors although you do not want a pup to be breathing really fast if it looks like hyper ventilation try to calm her/him down and TAKE IT TO THE VET
all to often people assume that a animal has a simple problem that can be delt with at home this is mostly never the case and you need regualr vistits to your vet
