Canine Coronavirus (CCoV) is a contagious virus that primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract of dogs. Although its pathogenicity is relatively low, it may cause serious complications in specific situations such as puppies, elderly dogs, or dogs with compromised immune systems. Understanding the symptoms of canine coronavirus is crucial for early detection and treatment. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the common symptoms of canine coronavirus and introduce the rapid detection of canine coronavirus antigen developed by Antigenne company. This detection tool can provide accurate diagnostic results within 10 minutes, providing a reliable guarantee for early treatment of dogs.

Common symptoms of canine coronavirus

The clinical symptoms of canine coronavirus infection are usually mild, but may worsen in certain circumstances. The following are the most common symptoms of canine coronavirus:

1. Diarrhea

Characteristics: The most common symptom of canine coronavirus is diarrhea, which usually presents as watery, yellow orange, and accompanied by a foul odor. The characteristic of this diarrhea is its sudden onset, usually without blood stains, but in severe infections or co infections with other pathogens such as canine parvovirus, bloody stools may appear.

Duration: The duration of diarrhea varies depending on the immune status and severity of the condition of the dog, typically ranging from a few days to a week.

2. Vomit

Frequency and severity: Although not as common as diarrhea, many dogs infected with canine coronavirus also experience vomiting. Vomiting may be accompanied by loss of appetite and dehydration, further exacerbating the condition.

Differentiation from other diseases: Vomiting may be a symptom of many canine diseases, so it needs to be distinguished from other gastrointestinal diseases such as gastritis or food poisoning.

3. Sleepiness

Performance: Dogs infected with canine coronavirus typically exhibit significant fatigue and drowsiness. They may appear listless and lose interest in daily activities.

Reason: This symptom is usually caused by systemic reactions such as dehydration, malnutrition, or the virus itself.

4. Loss of appetite

Symptoms: Infected dogs typically reduce their food intake or completely refuse to eat, which may further lead to weight loss and weakness.

Consequence: Long term loss of appetite can lead to insufficient energy and weakened immunity, increasing the risk of secondary infections.

5. Other symptoms

Dehydration: Due to persistent diarrhea and vomiting, many dogs experience rapid dehydration, which is a serious symptom that requires immediate treatment.

Fever: Although not common, some dogs infected with canine coronavirus may experience mild fever.

Although these symptoms are typical in canine coronavirus infection, accurate diagnosis is crucial as they are similar to symptoms of other gastrointestinal diseases in dogs.

Antigenne’s rapid detection of canine coronavirus antigen

To ensure timely diagnosis and treatment of canine coronavirus, Antigenne has developed a rapid antigen detection tool for canine coronavirus. This detection tool utilizes immunochromatographic technology to provide accurate test results within 10 minutes, making it an ideal choice for clinical and home diagnostics.

1. Detection principle and technology

Immunochromatography technology: The detection tool for Antigenne uses immunochromatography technology, which is a highly specific and sensitive detection method. This technology quickly determines whether a dog is infected with coronavirus by detecting coronavirus antigens in dog fecal samples.

Easy to operate: This detection tool is designed to be simple and does not require complex equipment or professional training. Users only need to follow the instructions to collect dog feces samples and apply them to the detection card to obtain results within 10 minutes.

The Importance of Rapid Diagnosis

Timely treatment: Early diagnosis of canine coronavirus is crucial for controlling disease progression and preventing complications. The rapid detection tool of Antigenne can provide diagnostic results in a short period of time, helping veterinarians and dog owners make treatment decisions quickly.

Epidemic control: In multi dog households or kennels, rapid testing tools can help quickly identify infected individuals, isolate them in a timely manner, prevent virus transmission, and effectively control the epidemic.

3. High precision and reliability

Detection accuracy: Antigenne’s detection tools have undergone rigorous testing to ensure high accuracy and significantly reduce the occurrence of false positive or false negative results. This high reliability makes it a trusted choice for veterinary clinics and dog owners.

4. Clinical and Family Applications

Clinical application: In veterinary clinics, the detection tool of Antigenne can be used for rapid screening, especially when gastrointestinal symptoms occur in dogs, providing important diagnostic evidence for veterinarians.

Home testing: For situations where immediate medical treatment is not possible, dog owners can also use this testing tool at home to preliminarily assess the health status of their dogs and decide whether further medical treatment is needed.

Conclusion

Although canine coronavirus is relatively less deadly, it still requires high attention due to its high infectivity and potential threat to the health of dogs, especially in individuals with weaker immune systems. Identifying early symptoms of canine coronavirus and using rapid antigen detection tools such as those developed by Antigenne for timely and accurate diagnosis is a crucial step in ensuring the health of dogs. Through early intervention, most dogs infected with canine coronavirus can fully recover and continue to live a healthy life. The rapid detection tool of Antigenne provides convenient and reliable support for early diagnosis, and is an important auxiliary tool for every dog owner and veterinarian.
