Mysterious Illness Killing Ohio Dogs

Another dog died of a similar illness two weeks ago in Akron, and a veterinarian there said she treated other dogs with the same symptoms who survived. Although it looks like two clusters of the same illness, labs have not yet been able to confirm what killed the dogs or whether it was the same in both clusters, Hawkins said. Fecal samples taken from one of the dogs contained canine circovirus, a newly identified virus about which very little is known. A spokesman for the Ohio Department of Agriculture told ABCNews.com that only one lab in the country studies the virus, and it is in San Diego. Canine circovirus can cause hemorrhaging and inflammation of the blood vessels but may not have been the cause of death, according to the department's statement.
