I just saw a report on a new virus similar to the circovirus effecting dogs. They don't know how it us spread so far and they don't know if it will effect other pets either. Cases in San Diego last year and now in Ohio and Ann Arbor, Michigan. Symptoms are abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, vomiting and lethargy.

We take in rescue dogs. Thanks for letting us know about this. How long has this been going around. We lost our little white chihuahua on April 29th of this year. The vet diagnosed him with acute pancreatitis (sp?). He did have the bloody diarrhea but no vomiting. Will check with the vet.

I remember back in the 80's the dogs had the same symptoms, and we finally figured out it was Parvovirus. They did get a vaccine for it eventually. Hopefully they will with this one too.
