Please note: virus is as close as Michigan....Deadly new virus attacking dogs: What you need to know Simone Del Rosario CREATED Dec. 17, 2013 TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - When dogs first started coming into the veterinary clinics, lethargic and vomiting, veterinarians didnt know exactly what they were dealing with. But now its clear the new virus, circovirus, is one that originated in pigs and birds, and vets say there are a lot more questions than answers. Dogs around the country are falling ill to this potentially deadly disease, and Dr. Ashleigh Rhoades from Southern Arizona Veterinary Center said owners should be on the lookout. What theyre going to see is a severe depression, collapse, weakness, this vomiting and diarrhea and not wanting to eat, she said. But if symptoms get this bad, Rhoades said dogs can suffer severe organ failure and even die.
