Regarding PED signs, which statement is not typical of PED presentation?

Explanation:
PED is an enteric coronavirus infection that primarily damages the intestinal lining. The hallmark signs are profuse watery diarrhea and vomiting in piglets, leading to rapid dehydration and high mortality, especially in neonates. Older pigs may show milder disease and often recover with supportive care. Abortion storms are not typical of PED presentation because this virus mainly affects the gut and neonatal mortality, not reproductive failure. If abortions are observed, they suggest other pathogens or causes rather than PEDV.
