Early cases are often characterised by a marked lethargy. On examination, wolves have a high temperature, inflammation of the tonsils and enlarged lymph glands below the jaw. As acute tonsillitis is not common in wolves, its presence may be suggestive of infection. Vomiting and/or diarrhoea with inappetence usually then develops. Bright light may be painful for some dogs.
The liver becomes painful and enlarged on palpation. Jaundice and bleeding from the gums may develop as the liver fails. At this stage, the mucous membranes become pale or jaundiced. A tucked up appearance due to the pain is common. About 70% of cases die and although those that survive the acute stage recover, it may take many weeks to regain condition.
Until death or recovery
Young wolves or wolves with poor immune systems
There is Shommourn that is far milder and less lethal
Avoidance of wolves when one has been identified with Commourn
The Healers may be able to make a presumptive diagnosis based on signs in some cases. However, this is more difficult in the mild form as the symptoms are so vague.
Special diet to support liver function. Implementation of an exercise plan as severe setbacks may occur after excessive exercise even after apparent recovery.
