What is canine coronavirus

Canine coronaviruses belong to the family Coronaviridae, and canine coronaviruses of the genus Coronaviridae currently have only one serotype, and there are strains with different virulence. Now, dog coronaviruses are not contagious to humans. Dogs infected with the virus usually present with sudden diarrhea, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, and depression. The symptoms of puppies will be more serious after infection. The feces of sick dogs are basically mushy or half mushy, and they appear green or orange. . Usually, puppies aged 2-4 months are more susceptible to infection. The coronavirus can be transmitted through secretions such as feces, saliva, and nasal mucus. Once a multi-dog family finds a sick dog, it must be isolated as soon as possible.

Measures to prevent canine coronavirus:

1. The kennel is cleaned every day to remove feces and keep it dry and clean. Use Paidesi Baidusha according to the instructions on the bottle label or spray closely with 0.1% peracetic acid solution once a week for disinfection. Sick dog pens are disinfected with flame disinfection.

2. The feed and drinking water should be clean and hygienic, and rotten and deteriorating feed and dirty drinking water should not be fed. The remaining feed and drinking water for sick dogs should be dug and buried deeply, and the feeding tools should be thoroughly disinfected before use.

3. Newly-born puppies should eat enough colostrum. Obtaining maternal antibodies and immune protection is an important measure to prevent this disease; it is also possible to inject adult dog serum to prevent puppies without immunity.

4. Immediately isolate the sick dogs, and specialize in feeding and nursing them. Collect the feces of sick dogs and send them to the provincial and municipal veterinary laboratory departments for inspection to diagnose the disease and treat the disease with medication.
