Diarrhea and illness severity score after RRV infection. Percent of pups suffering from diarrhea (A) during RRV infection of group A and C combined (n = 46) administered at day 7 and of pups receiving rotavirus-specific antibodies (RRV infection + Gastrogard-R^®; n = 22)). Diarrhea was monitored from day 8 until day 14. Bars represent the mean percentage of pups ± SEM per day having symptoms of diarrhea. Severity of illness score (B) during RRV infection of group A and C combined (n = 46) administered at day 7 and of pups receiving rotavirus-specific antibodies (RRV infection + Gastrogard-R^®; n = 22). Severity of illness was monitored daily by assigning numeric values to the color of stool where a high score indicates severe illness (yellow = 3; yellow-brown = 2; brown = 1), degree of soiling (very soiled = 4; somewhat soiled = 1; no soiling = 0), and consistency (very liquid = 4; liquid = 3; solid = 1) of the stool. Bars represent the mean percentage of severity of illness score of the pups ± SEM per day.
