Thank you for submitting your question regarding Gogo. The coronavirus is typically a self limiting disease. This means that if the puppy is otherwise healthy, the puppy's immune system will take care of the infection. There is not a specific treatment for the virus, just supportive care. This means keeping him hydrated and using medications from his veterinarian to control any vomiting and diarrhea. Most puppies make a full recovery. I hope this information helps!
