The clinical symptoms of microcephaly are mainly gastrointestinal symptoms, with early symptoms such as mild loss of appetite and soft stools. As the disease progresses, vomiting and diarrhea will become evident after 1-2 days, and will be accompanied by blood in the stool or vomiting blood, and the stool will resemble ketchup or soy sauce. Frequent vomiting can also lead to severe dehydration, electrolyte disturbances, and acid-base disorders in the dog. To determine if a dog has microcephaly, a routine blood test is needed to check for a decrease in white blood cells, which may be present if the number of white blood cells has decreased. You can also use test strips to see if there are positive control dots, and positive control dots indicate infection.
