Diagnostics: In many cases, the disease is progressing too rapidly to wait for virology to confirm an exact diagnosis; symptoms can be treated non-specifically with antiviral herbs.
Special Notes: In neonatal animals, the progress of the disease can be rapid and needs immediate attention.
Principles for Supplementation: Herbal antivirals and immune support are important components of the natural treatment.
