Canine coronavirus damages the intestinal and gut-associated lymphoid tissue, causing enteritis. If the dog vomits or has diarrhea, fast temporarily for about 8 hours; if not, no fasting, since long fasting worsens gut function.
During fasting, give fluids and antiviral medicine; once vomiting and diarrhea improve, feed a small amount of easily digestible food.
