SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A deadly virus for dogs seeing a rise in southwest Missouri. The parvovirus is a DNA virus that affects a dog’s rapidly dividing cells, meaning the intestinal tract and bone marrow are most affected. There are 36 confirmed cases in southwest Missouri. While this may not seem like a lot, Dr. Richard Lynn of the Ozark Veterinary Clinic says it is something to look out for. “It’s extremely contagious. And the virus can contaminate soil for weeks to months to years,” says Lynn.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The weather is warming up, and so is the housing market. Spring into summer is the time of year when families are selling homes and buying again before the school year. A local realtor says the best time to buy is always now. “If you’re looking for a home, the best way to take care of inflation is get yourself locked in on a 30-year home rate. That way, you’ll know what all your costs are going to be for the near future,” says Mike Brown of Keller Williams Realty.
