The CCV
is second only to parvo as a viral cause of diarrhea in puppies, it's an
intestinal disease that's specific to canines and it's found in both wild and
domestic dogs all over the world. The disease has been around for decades and
most adult domestic dogs have measurable CCV antibody titres, meaning that they
were exposed to the virus at some point in their life or vaccinated against it, as a puppy and they carry lifelong protection.The
canine corona virus despite what some vaccine manufacturers and even some
veterinarians would have us believe canine corona virus or CCV, while highly
contagious is actually a very mild condition,when it occurs alone. it's when
coronavirus is present along with parvo or another intestinal infection that it
becomes a serious risk to a dog's health.(Corona Virus Symptoms In Dogs)Corona Virus Symptoms In Dogs
The CCV infection oftentimes has no symptoms at all, occasionally a dog may
experience a single episode of vomiting or a few days of explosive diarrhea
there may also be temporary loss of appetite or depression very rarely there
may also be a fever or mild respiratory symptoms puppies especially those under
12 weeks of age are at a much greater risk for serious illness than adult dogs
and may suffer from prolonged diarrhea and dehydration.(Corona Virus Symptoms In Dogs)
Diagnose Corona Virus Symptoms
If
infected only with coronavirus most puppies will recover after several days of
mild or severe diarrhea. However puppies infected with both coronavirus and
parvo virus will develop severe and titus or inflammation of the small
intestine and sadly these infections can become fatal for many puppies, because
of the symptoms of coronavirus are so similar to other types of infections that
causes GI problems your vet will need to perform specific serum or antibody
titer tests to diagnose a CCB infection puppies.
The Infected dog with coronavirus will need to be carefully monitored even a relatively small
amount of diarrhea or vomiting can be fatal for a very small puppy that's why
it's important to keep CCV patients especially puppies from developing
dehydration most adult dogs recover from a CCV infection without the need for
medical treatment or fluid therapy in some cases diarrhea can last up to 12
days and soft stools for the next few weeks during this time claustrum
homeopathic remedies and slippery elm bark can all be very beneficial because
CCV is highly contagious dogs that are symptomatic or have been diagnosed with
the virus should be immediately isolated from other dogs.(Corona Virus Symptoms In Dogs)
Precautions for Corona Virus Symptoms Dogs
it's also important to keep your
dog's crate or sleeping area clean and hygienic and remember to always pick up
after your dog and keep him from coming in contact with the feces of other dogs.(Corona Virus Symptoms In Dogs)
The coronavirus is spread from dog to dog through exposure to the poop of an infected dog, infected dogs can shed the virus in feces for up to six months. The CCV resides within the upper two-thirds of the small intestine where it replicates itself as well as in local lymph nodes stress increases susceptibility to CCV infections. So, in dogs that are trained extensively or live in odors overcrowded environments or unsanitary conditions or spend time in locations where lots of dogs gather together are obviously at a higher risk in adult dogs.
Vaccine for Corona Virus Symptoms Dogs
There is a vaccine for corona virus but I don't recommend it dr. Ronald Schultz
calls it a vaccine in search of a disease and feels it has actually not a whole
lot of value that's because alone coronavirus isn't a serious infection and as
long as your dog has received a well-timed parvo virus vaccine there's really
not a reason to be overly concerned about coronavirus infection.(Corona Virus Symptoms In Dogs)
