Canine Coronavirus
Canine Coronavirus is a viral infection that primarily affects dogs, particularly puppies. It is caused by the canine coronavirus (CCoV) and is highly contagious among dogs. The virus typically spreads through direct contact with infected dogs or contaminated surfaces. Symptoms may include mild gastrointestinal issues, such as vomiting and diarrhea, but many dogs recover without treatment.
While Canine Coronavirus is not the same as the human coronavirus, it can still pose health risks to dogs. Vaccines are available to help protect against severe strains of the virus, but they are not always included in standard vaccination protocols. Regular veterinary check-ups can help ensure your dog's health.
