On Track - February 2020Gastrointestinal Illness in Greyhounds in Australia
In recent weeks, there have been several reports of a gastrointestinal illness in greyhounds (and other pet
dogs) initially in Western Australia, but subsequently in Queensland, Northern Territory and in recent days
South Australia. Testing of some affected greyhounds in Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia
has identified a strain of Canine Coronavirus as the causative agent, which commonly causes disease in dogs.
It is critical to note that this Coronavirus is in no way related to the current widely reported outbreak of Novel
Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the global human population and that there is no known risk of cross-species
contamination (i.e. canine to human) relating to same.
The symptoms of gastroenteritis (vomiting and diarrhoea) caused by this virus are normally mild and resolve
without treatment. Owners, Trainers and Racing Clubs are advised to remain vigilant and ensure appropriate
hygiene and biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of the illness spreading.
GA through its Veterinary & Analysts Committee has and will continue to facilitate disease surveillance and
regular dialogue between national Controlling Body veterinarians. GA members are well placed to minimise the
risk of the virus and protect the greyhound population, providing participants and veterinarians actively report
suspected cases to their state Controlling Body, who may in turn provide subsided testing for reported cases.
Practical actions to minimise the risk of disease spread within the industry
It is advised that participants take the following measures to protect their greyhounds:
- Monitor your greyhounds for signs of illness, if you have concerns seek advice from your veterinarian and
contact your Controlling Body
- Isolate ‘affected’ greyhounds showing clinical signs
- Quarantine greyhounds ‘in contact’ with affected dogs (e.g. within same shed) from other ‘healthy’ dogs
- Scratch ‘affected’ greyhounds from race meetings until fully recovered, consider scratching ‘in contacts’ and
reduce nonessential travel (e.g. trials)
- Maintain high levels of hygiene through frequent cleaning of your kennels, transport, equipment and feed/
water bowls with an effective disinfectant and removing faeces from the environment as often as possible
- Ensure the workflow through your kennel is moving from ‘healthy’ to ‘in contact’ to ‘affected’ dogs (e.g.
feeding, cleaning, exercising)
- Do not share bedding and utensils between greyhounds
- Seek veterinary advice for ill greyhounds
- Use personal protective equipment such as gloves, overalls and boots to reduce the risk of you spreading the
virus where possible
- Dogs which are being introduced into your kennel should be quarantined from the general population for 10
days. This is particularly important if you are receiving dogs from affected areas or they are being transported
with dogs from those areas.
- Racing Clubs to ensure kennel areas are effectively cleaned and disinfected after each race meeting, including
appropriate hygiene measures applied to surrounding facilities
For more information on the clinical signs and disease patterns of canine enteric coronavirus, please see the
advidory section of our website.
