Last Updated: 2024/11/05, Canine distemper, also known as canine distemper, is a highly contagious and acute infectious disease caused by the virus. Puppies under 1 year old are most likely to be infected. At present, there is no specific cure for the disease, and the mortality rate is between 50% and 90%, which can occur all the year round. The main points of identification of canine distemper are as follows: first, the change of body temperature is "U". That is, the body temperature often rises to about 40 at the beginning of the disease, and returns to normal in 2-3 days, with a fever-free gap. After a few days, the body temperature rises again, mostly at 39. 5%.

Canine distemper, also known as canine distemper, is a highly contagious and acute infectious disease caused by the virus. Puppies under 1 year old are most likely to be infected. At present, there is no specific cure for the disease, and the mortality rate is between 50% and 90%, which can occur all the year round.

The main points for the identification of canine distemper are as follows:

First, the body temperature changes in a "U" shape. That is, at the beginning of the disease, the body temperature often rises to about 40, and the body temperature returns to normal in 2-3 days, and there is a fever-free interval. After a few days, the body temperature rises again, most of which persist at 39.4-41 ℃, and the condition is aggravated.

Second, there are eye boogers, snot, cough, sneezing, shortness of breath and other bronchitis symptoms.

Third, dogs with secondary gastrointestinal bacterial infection (especially parvovirus) will develop vomiting, diarrhea or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis.

Fourth, the dog with a long course of disease has a blister or purulent rash on the medial thigh of the abdomen.

Fifth, neurological symptoms such as local convulsions and hindfoot paralysis appeared in the later stage.

The incubation period of "canine distemper" is usually 3 ~ 6 days, and there is no morbid manifestation at this time. However, individual dog sellers are driven by interests to cover up sick dogs, such as wiping off eye droppings, snot and feces around the anus, and some even make dogs hungry for a few meals, or draw dark circles on the dog's eyes with eyebrow pencil. Therefore, when choosing and purchasing, it is possible to select a healthy dog by comprehensively considering the dog's spirit, eyes, fur, barking, reaction sensitivity and so on.
