Plain-English summary
A puppy with diarrhea was found to have a new type of virus related to a lion norovirus. This virus was identified while investigating the cause of the puppy's enteritis (inflammation of the intestines). The discovery highlights the potential for similar viruses to affect dogs. Treatment for the puppy would typically focus on managing symptoms and preventing dehydration, but the specific outcome for this puppy isn't detailed.
