How to prevent distemper in dogs

Persist in giving dogs distemper vaccines, pay attention to improving their immunity, regularly deworm them, and disinfect the environment and personnel. Avoid contact with different species of animals.
Avoid dogs from eating garbage or discarded food outdoors. If dogs pick up food outdoors, it may be due to a lack of trace elements in their bodies.

Clinical symptoms of distemper

Typical symptoms include pus-like discharge from the eyes and nose, and a biphasic fever. As the disease worsens, symptoms such as swollen eyelids, vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy may appear. In the later stages, neurological symptoms such as epileptic-like seizures may occur. Distemper can also cause pneumonia, coughing with hoarseness, rapid breathing, and significant wet rales during auscultation. In some cases, the nose and paws may become overly keratinized.

Drug recommendations for symptoms

Treat sick dogs early with antiserum, immunoglobulin, antibacterials, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and vitamins, as well as supportive symptomatic treatments such as fluid replacement, fever reduction, tranquilization, analgesia, and astringency. Good nursing care is essential. Dogs with neurological symptoms generally have a poor prognosis.

Precautions

The tools used by sick dogs and their living environment should be thoroughly disinfected with formalin or other disinfectants.
The bodies of dead dogs must be cremated or buried deeply. The owner's household should not raise dogs for at least six months after the dog's death.
Items used by dogs in the owner's household must be exposed to ultraviolet radiation for a long time, such as sunlight exposure or disposal by burning. These items should not be used by other dogs.
