Dog Parvovirus and Coronavirus Combined Rapid Test (1 pc/box)

Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious and serious disease of dogs caused by parvovirus. The virus attacks the dog's digestive and immune systems, which can lead to severe diarrhea, vomiting and weakness. Young, unvaccinated dogs are particularly at risk. The disease spreads rapidly, mainly through direct animal-to-animal contact and through contaminated surfaces in the environment. Regular vaccination is important to prevent this dangerous disease. Treatment started in time increases the chances of survival, but prevention and vaccination remain the best protection against canine parvovirus.

Canine coronavirus is a virus that primarily affects the dog's digestive system. Although many types of coronavirus exist, canine coronavirus usually causes mild or asymptomatic illness. Most animals are able to overcome the infection without developing more serious health problems. The virus can cause symptoms such as diarrhea or loss of appetite, mainly in young or immunocompromised dogs. However, it is important to note that canine coronavirus is not the same as the human coronavirus COVID-19, and there is no evidence that canine coronavirus can be transmitted from person to person. Nevertheless, you should consult your veterinarian if your dog's rapid test is positive.

Symptoms of canine parvovirus:

• Vomiting (foamy, yellowish or bloody)
• Severe, foul-smelling diarrhea (often bloody)
• Severe dehydration
• Fever or low body temperature
• Lethargy, weakness
• Loss of appetite, weight loss
• Abdominal pain, bloating

Highly contagious and life-threatening, especially in puppies! Preventable by vaccination.

Symptoms of canine coronavirus (CCV):

• Diarrhea (usually mild, but can also be severe)
• Vomiting (occurs less often)
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy, fatigue

Less severe than parvovirus, but it can be more serious in weakened dogs or puppies.

With the combined rapid test you can test your dog for both parvovirus and coronavirus.
