Once a dog has any physical abnormalities, owners will be frightened because their bodies are too fragile and they can easily get sick. Different diseases have different harms to dogs. Some diseases are curable for adult dogs, but have a high fatality rate for puppies. Let us find out together below.

1. What medicine should puppies take for coronavirus?

It is generally not recommended to take medicine to treat coronavirus. Injections are recommended. Especially when dogs have vomiting symptoms, oral administration is less effective. Therefore, oral administration is often considered during the recovery period, and the therapeutic drugs are interferons, cephalosporins, and maropitant. In addition, puppies are prone to diarrhea. During the period of diarrhea, if a coronavirus test strip is used to test, it is easy to produce false positives. Therefore, it is recommended that owners take their dogs to the pet hospital for examination.

2. Mortality rate of coronavirus in puppies

If puppies infected with coronavirus are treated promptly, the mortality rate is not very high. Puppies infected with coronavirus will experience varying degrees of vomiting, diarrhea, and listlessness. In severe cases, they may experience bloody stools. Therefore, after the owner discovers something abnormal in his dog, he should go to the pet hospital in time for systematic treatment to avoid delaying the condition. The main principles of treatment are to stop vomiting and diarrhea, correct electrolyte imbalance, and adjust acid-base balance. At the same time, we must prevent secondary infections and improve the body's immunity.

3. Will dog coronavirus heal on its own?

Dogs infected with coronavirus generally will not heal on their own because sick dogs will vomit and have diarrhea, causing dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. In severe cases, it can also lead to death. Especially puppies, the mortality rate after infection is higher than that of adult dogs. In addition, the course of coronavirus disease is about one week, and the initial symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea. If the vomiting and diarrhea are severe, you must fast and drink appropriately, and you must inject fluids for rehydration. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for early treatment.
