Corona

Corona : Viral disease that is extremely contagious which usually leads to parvo virus. The combination of the two is more severe than either one by itself and can be fatal.

Symptoms: Severe diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting, dehydration, loss of appetite, severe depression and pain.

Prevention: An annual vaccination (Can sometimes be in a combination shot). Puppies should not be around strange dogs, sick dogs (or recently sick dogs) until initial series of shots has been completed.

Treatment: Immediately take animal to the veterinarian. There is not a cure for the virus, but fluids, nursing care and other supportive treatments can increase the chances of survival. Hospitalization is often necessary and can be very costly.
