What is coronavirus disease in dogs? Does puppy coronavirus matter

Dog coronavirus disease is canine coronavirus disease, which is a virus genus of the Coronaviridae family in virus taxonomy, and belongs to single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses.

Coronaviridae viruses infect only vertebrates.

It has been associated with a wide range of animal and human diseases. Originally, the Coronaviridae family consisted of only one genus, the genus Coronavirus.

The disease can infect canines such as dogs, martens, and foxes.

Dogs of different breeds, sexes, and ages can be infected, but puppies are the most susceptible, with an incidence rate of almost 100% and a case fatality rate of 50%.Sick dogs and infected dogs are the main sources of infection.

The virus passes through the respiratory tract through direct and indirect contact.

and digestive tract transmission to healthy dogs and other susceptible animals. The disease can occur all year round, but it is more common in winter. Abrupt changes in climate, poor sanitary conditions, high density of dogs, weaning and long-distance transportation can induce this disease.

Dogs also have coronavirus disease, but the doctor says it's just a minor illness?

Dogs may experience different severity of symptoms after being infected with canine coronavirus, and should go to a vet hospital promptly**.

Dense dogs, harsh living environment, abrupt climate change and long-distance transportation can all induce the disease. For example, a dog that has just been brought home and has traveled a long way to a new environment is likely to produce a transport stress corona. The incubation period of canine coronaviruses is usually within a week, and the virus spreads very quickly, with symptoms starting little different from the gastrointestinal reaction caused by a dog cold.

Symptoms such as listlessness, lethargy, and vomiting will follow, and the feces of sick dogs will gradually turn into watery and orange or green in color. A small number of sick dogs will have increased body temperature, leukopenia, dehydration, etc., which may also lead to the death of the dog if the treatment is not timely.

Precautions during the dog** period:

1. During the dog's ** period, it should be noted that if the dog begins to vomit after feeding the dog, then it is best to fasting and fasting water first, if it is fed, it will aggravate the dog's vomiting and delay the ** process, you can use a cotton swab dipped in a little water to help the dog moisten the tongue and nose.

2. What you need to pay attention to at home is to keep the dog warm, prepare a thick cushion, do not let the dog lie directly on the ground, so as not to catch a cold abdomen, it is best to cover a blanket, it is very important to keep warm.

3. If you find that there is a bag at the site of the dog's injection, then it may be that the drug is not well absorbed, at this time, you can take a warm towel and put it on the place where there is a bag, which can accelerate the absorption of the drug, and you can also use a hair dryer to blow on these bags for a while, which can also accelerate the absorption of drugs.

The user needs to isolate the dog. There is no specific vaccine for canine coronavirus disease for immunization, and general comprehensive measures are mainly adopted, which can refer to the prevention and control measures of canine rotavirus infection. For sick dogs, symptomatic ** is mainly taken, stop feeding milk with more lactose, multi-enzyme tablets, lactic acid bacteria tablets, oral rehydration salts, intravenous infusion of compound sodium chloride solution, and feed to correct dehydration and electrolyte disorders.

Dexamethasone is injected intramuscularly to improve microcirculation and the body.

Intravenous fluids maintain energy, correct electrolyte imbalances, and improve dehydration. When taking antiemetic medicines, you should also pay attention to anti-inflammatory to prevent secondary infection.

Dog coronavirus**, which may be transmitted through umbilical cord blood by a dog mother who was infected with the coronavirus during pregnancy and did not produce antibodies. Or the puppy is sexually transmitted by indirect contact with the dog's mother during breastfeeding. Or the environment in which the dog lives has the coronavirus.

It could also be that the dog came into contact with a dog with coronavirus while going out to play. The reason for this is mainly due to the invasion of viruses when the dog's resistance is low.

How to check the corona.

The dog's feces were mixed with the test solution and dripped onto the coronal test plate. Among them, if the beta version is two lines, it means that the dog is infected with the coronavirus. If it is a line, it means that the dog is not infected with the coronavirus.

The rate of coronavirus is still quite high, as long as it is timely, it is generally not life-threatening.

Coronary**.

A combination of specificity and symptomatism is used. Intravenous infusion of sugar saline, vitamin C, ATP and antibiotics to maintain the dog's normal internal environment and prevent secondary infection. Drugs such as injection ribavirin or oral double coptis are used to assist in antivirals.

However, for this type of infectious disease with a high mortality rate, it is still recommended to take it to the hospital for examination** to avoid delaying the disease.

Coronary cause of death.

The leading cause of coronavirus death in dogs is dehydration. Because canine coronavirus mainly acts on the digestive tract of dogs, it can cause a series of digestive symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and bloody stools. Severe dehydration, abdominal wall relaxation, gastric and intestinal dilation, and intestinal mucosal bleeding may also be found at autopsy.

After the death of the dog, it should be buried deep to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
