Canine coronavirus infection is a disease caused by canine coronavirus that causes gastroenteritis symptoms in dogs. Sick dogs and virus-carrying dogs are the main sources of infection for this disease. The disease spreads rapidly and can spread throughout the entire group within a few days. The incubation period of natural cases is 1 to 3 days. Sick dogs are lethargic, weak, and anorexic. At first, continuous vomiting for several days can be seen, and then diarrhea begins. The feces are porridge-like or watery, yellow-green or orange-red, foul-smelling, and mixed with varying amounts of mucus. Occasionally, a small amount of blood can be seen in the feces. Clinically, it is difficult to distinguish it from canine parvovirus. It's just that this disease has a longer infection time and is intermittent and can recur. The white blood cell count is slightly reduced and usually recovery can occur within 7 to 10 days.
Recommendations:
- Quickly isolate sick dogs to avoid contact between sick dogs and healthy dogs and prevent the spread of the virus.
- Use glutaraldehyde and decylmethyl ammonium bromide solution to disinfect the home. It can kill parvovirus, canine distemper, coronavirus, herpes virus, etc., creating a sterile environment for dogs and promoting physical recovery. When sick dogs go out to defecate, it can be sprayed on the dog's urine and the residue after cleaning up feces.
- Velik bismuth subcarbonate tablets (Pu'an Te) repair intestinal mucosa and quickly stop diarrhea. Once a day, no more than 4 tablets at a time.
- Special anti-vomiting for dogs and cats - Puxiding (Pu'an Te) neutralizes gastric acid, relieves pain and vomiting, and repairs intestinal damage. Three times a day for 28 consecutive days.
- Weipuda amoxicillin powder, a broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drug for pets, effectively prevents secondary infections. Once a day for 3 to 5 consecutive days.
- Pet electrolyte concentrated solution (Pu'an Te) supplements glucose and electrolytes for nutritional supplementation after diarrhea and vomiting to avoid dehydration. For cats: 50 milliliters/kilogram. For dogs: take according to breed and weight and take it orally freely for 2 to 5 days.
- IGY Antite Force supplements nutrition, enhances immunity, and improves the antiviral ability of dogs. Once a day for 5 days, 1 bottle each time.
- Active probiotics (Pu'an Te) are used to regulate the stomach and intestines, enhance intestinal immunity, and relieve gastrointestinal disorders caused by long-term use of antibiotics in dogs. Take according to weight for 7 consecutive days.
Treatment plan for canine coronavirus:
The treatment principle is symptomatic treatment and prevention of secondary infections.
To prevent secondary infections and antibacterial:
- Ampicillin, for dogs: 20-30 milligrams/kilogram, orally, 2 to 3 times a day; 10-20 milligrams/kilogram, intravenous drip/subcutaneous injection intramuscular injection, 2 to 3 times a day.
- Cefazolin sodium, for dogs: 15-30 milligrams/kilogram, intravenous drip intramuscular injection, 3 to 4 times a day.
- Sumox (amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium suspension), for dogs/cats: 0.1 milliliters/kilogram, intramuscular injection/subcutaneous injection, once a day.
- Baytril (enrofloxacin) injection, 1 milliliter/kilogram, subcutaneous injection intramuscular injection, once a day.
- Compound sulfamethoxazole, for dogs: 15 milligrams/kilogram, orally/subcutaneously, twice a day.
Antiemetic: - Metoclopramide, for dogs: 0.2-0.5 milligrams/kilogram, orally/subcutaneously, 3 to 4 times a day, or 0.01-0.08 milligrams/(kilogram·hour), intravenous drip.
- Omeprazole, for dogs: 0.5-1.5 milligrams/kilogram, intravenous injection/subcutaneous injection/orally, once a day, for up to 8 weeks.
Antidiarrheal: - Smecta, for dogs: 250-500 milligrams/kilogram, orally.
- Weidikang, for dogs: 0.02-0.08 grams/kilogram, orally, twice a day for 2 to 4 days.
Rehydration and enhance the body's resistance: - Lactated Ringer's solution, 5% glucose, ATP, coenzyme A, vitamin C, etc. are used to supplement body fluids.
Gastrointestinal mucosa protection: - Sucralfate, for dogs: 0.5-1 gram/25 kilograms, orally, 2 to 4 times a day.
