Plain-English summary
A group of puppies with vomiting, diarrhea, and lack of appetite were found to be infected with either canine coronavirus or canine parvovirus. The parvovirus infection was linked to more severe symptoms, including lethargy and low blood cell counts. Puppies with parvovirus often showed signs of dehydration and needed supportive care, such as fluids and medications to help them recover. The study highlighted the importance of early detection and treatment for these serious infections in puppies.

Abstract
The clinical and laboratory findings in puppies naturally infected with canine coronavirus (CCoV) and/or canine parvovirus (CPV) were compared with findings in uninfected puppies. Lymphopenia was the only parameter related to CCoV infection that was statistically significant; vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, hemorrhagic fluid diarrhea, leukopenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypoglycemia, and hypoproteinemia were correlated with CPV infection.
