What is canine distemper
Canine distemper is a highly contact infectious disease caused by canine distemper virus. It is extremely contagious and has a mortality rate of up to 80%. In the early stages of canine distemper symptoms, the temperature of the dog is as high as 39.5 to 41 degrees Celsius, loss of appetite, depression, watery secretions flow out of his eyes and nose, sneezing, and diarrhea. In the next 2 to 14 days, the body temperature rises, cough, purulent nasal and purulent eye feces will appear again. At this time, it is already the middle stage of canine distemper. At the same time, secondary gastrointestinal diseases, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Highly depressed and lethargic. Typical neurological symptoms will occur in the later stage of canine distemper, such as foaming and convulsions. It is generally difficult to cure at this time, but some of them have been cured successfully.
Canitary distemper is a very serious infectious disease. It is generally characterized by rephanormal fever, acute nasal catalactia, bronchitis, catalytic pneumonia, severe gastroenteritis and neurological symptoms. A few diseased dogs may also experience excessive keratosis of the nose and foot pads. It is often mixed with parvovirus, infectious hepatitis, pneumonia, etc., so the mortality rate is extremely high. This disease is similar to fever in the early stage and is easily overlooked by parents. It is manifested as conjunctivitis, dry cough, which then turns to damp cough, dyspnea, vomiting, diarrhea, intussusception, and eventually death due to severe dehydration and weakness.
The probability of canine distemper: Canine distemper is distributed in almost all countries around the world, and it occurs in all dog-raising countries. However, the cold season between October and April of the following year is a frequent period, especially in areas such as places, residences, kennels, etc. in various countries. Once this disease occurs in the dog group, it is difficult for other dogs to avoid infection unless under absolute isolation. The recovered dog can obtain lifelong immunity.
Dogs who are still in the toxic stage after recovery, other animals with canine distemper virus are mainly sick dogs and toxic dogs. The virus exists in the liver, spleen, brain, kidneys, lymph node tissues. They are detoxified from the body through tears, nose juice, saliva, urine and exhaled air, polluting the surrounding air, water sources, food, utensils, etc., making it a vector for the spread of this disease. Clinically recovered dogs can detoxify the outside world for a long time and are often overlooked by people. Therefore, canine distemper can be transmitted through nose, eye secretions and urine!
