There are two different forms of this infectious disease, but whichever type it is, it has a high mortality rate. So it is important for dog owners to detect the micro virus in their dogs as early as possible and then treat it. So how long is the incubation period of the micro virus? What are the symptoms that indicate a dog is suffering from microscopic? I give all the parents popularization.
First of all, the initial infection of the microvirus, if timely treatment, the mortality rate will not exceed 20%. The incubation period of the polio virus is generally three days to 14 days, the average time of onset is about five days to seven days this period. Of course, during the incubation period, it is not possible to test whether the dog is infected with the micro virus. Only through the parents and other daily observation, to be able to find the abnormal symptoms of the dog to reduce the danger brought by this disease to the dog.
So, what are the symptoms after a dog gets the microvirus? The two different types of microviruses have different symptoms. Next, I will talk about them separately.
First of all, the most important symptom of enteritis type of micro virus is fever, the dog’s temperature can reach more than 40 degrees, and the spirit is very depressed, will appear to not eat food, of course, there will be vomiting. When going out, the dog’s vomit is likely to be undigested food, or some white foam that slowly turns into a yellow-green liquid.
In addition, the dog starts to have diarrhea the day after the onset of the disease. The shape of the opposite side is mostly a thin paste with a fishy smell. The disease will turn dark green if the feces, or yellow jelly-like, followed by bloody stools. At this time the dog’s weight will be significantly reduced, while the eyes will sink, after all, will also be very dry, along with severe symptoms of anemia.
Then, let’s talk about the symptoms of the myocarditis type of the microvirus. Dogs can suddenly develop respiratory distress and have relatively rapid heart failure, and can also die within a short time. Some dogs may also develop mild diarrhea and then die. This myocarditis type of canine microvirus can destroy the dog’s heart muscle cells in a short period of time.
Finally, I would like to tell all parents that if a dog develops canine microvirus it should be isolated early and the environment in which it lives should be disinfected repeatedly. In addition, be sure to immunize and vaccinate your dog in the usual time, effective prevention to stop the occurrence of the virus.
