While I know the intention behind this is good I actually think it’s a bad idea for several reasons.
No one on this forum is qualified to give a diagnosis to help treat an animal, even if they were qualified unless an animal is actually seen by a vet who will perform the necessary exams, no one knows what the best treatment course will be for the specific animal.
Like with anything there is no one treatment fits depending on the progression of the disease the strain of a virus as well as the animal itself treatment will differ.
There is also the problem of people (often newer inexperienced owners) panicking imagining the worse simply because their animal(s) has some symptoms that might be similar to some very serious diseases or virus. (seen it many times).
This forum is in no way a substitute for a vet visit, yes we can give basic recommendation/suggestion on what it might be but when it comes to specific diseases/viruses we must leave it to the people who are qualified and will see the animal in person, they will be the one performing necessary exams and prescribing adequate treatment.
