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.

Yes, my bad ... I've known about the virus for quite some time as my dog show friends have been reporting it for weeks now. Forgive me for thinking it would be useful to have posted it here.
Deb ... it can be fatal in older dogs, very young dogs, and dogs with compromised immunity. In healthy dogs it is still serious.

Just heard about this. I`m just over the river from mi in Canada. I just had 9 yr old Beagle to the vets with severe diareah but no vomiting. He`s on antibiotics. Slow going but seems to be getting better. Will keep a close eye. Thanks Gale

How odd that you posted this. I was talking with a friend in Florence SC this morning and he told me he lost one of his white Schnauzers last week to this virus. He had to have the dog put down. I will be careful with my four dogs. I have two of this guys Schnauzers I got two and four years ago.
