Infectious Canine Hepatitis:

Infectious Canine Hepatitis:
This virus is caused by a viral agent, the canine adenovirus CAV-1, and is spread through infected urine. The virus may cause liver failure, eye damage, respiratory problems, and can be fatal. Commonly encountered clinical signs are vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and, occasionally, coughing. It is actually CAV-2, a closely related virus that is used in the vaccine because it is less likely to cause side effects and is cross-protective.
