• JackieG Posted : 9/7/2013 6:52:51 PM I read they suspect circovirus which is known to affect swine but hasn't been seen in dogs previously.  There have not been a lot of cases so far and hopefully it will not become a widespread problem. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jessies_mom Posted : 9/8/2013 5:51:15 PM That's what the link I posted says. It causes bloody diarrhea and vomiting similar to parvo and some other illnesses, but it also causes this; "What made these cases unique is what the pathologist terms 'acute necrotizing vasculitis.' This." is when the blood vessels become suddenly damaged and fluid begins leaking out of the vessels," Butera said. "Because of this, the cases I know of did not just have vomiting and bloody diarrhea, they also developed fluid around their lungs and in the abdomen  I hope they find out how it spreads so it can be controlled. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
