Mystery Dog Illness
-------------------------------------------------

The Ohio Department of Agriculture is trying to determine whether four dead dogs — three in Cincinnati and one in the Akron-Canton area — had the same illness and whether that illness was caused by a newly detected virus.

On Friday, the department asked Ohio veterinarians to watch for the symptoms of vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weight loss and lethargy, and to contact the state if they suspect the illness.

Owners whose animals have the symptoms should call their vet, said Erica Hawkins, communication director for the department.

“We feel obligated to make sure pet owners are aware this is happening,” Hawkins said. “ Supportive therapies can be helpful if started early enough. But we don’t want people to get too worried.”

Three dogs died in mid-August in Cincinnati after staying in the same kennel.

Dr. Melanie Butera, the veterinarian for the dog in the Akron-Canton area, contacted the Agriculture Department. She also treated several dogs with similar symptoms that survived.

The department began investigating all four deaths and sent a fecal sample from one of Butera’s patients to a research lab in California. That sample tested positive for canine circovirus, a newly isolated virus.

Hawkins said little is known about the virus, including where it comes from or how it spreads. The virus can cause hemorrhaging and vasculitis, which is an inflammation of blood vessels.

Butera told the Agriculture Department that the ill dogs she treated had both hemorrhaging and vasculitis.




Heal your pet at home!

Best Wishes,

Dr Andrew Jones, DVM


P.S. I'll keep you updated as this disease progresses. It sounds similar to parvovirus, but obviously there is no vaccine.

If your dog has vomiting, bloody diarrhea, then get immediate veterinary care.

Fortunately it seems confined to Ohio now.
