In vivo efficacy of indomethacin was ascertained by assessing the time of recovery in dogs infected with canine-CoV in a study conducted by Xu et al. (2020). Significantly rapid improvement was observed in infected dogs treated symptomatically and with indomethacin (1 mg/kg) as compared to symptomatic treatment and ribavirin, however, there was no significant difference from that with symptomatic treatment + canine hemoglobin + anti-canine coronavirus serum + canine blood immunoglobulin + interferon treatments [17,18].
