Canine distemper is commonly known as dog temperature.
Canine distemper is a highly contagious and fatal infectious disease caused by canine distemper virus. Early biphasic fever with symptoms similar to a cold, followed by bronchitis, catarrhal pneumonia and gastroenteritis. Nervous system symptoms such as spasm and convulsion can be seen in the late stage of onset. Hyperkeratosis of nasal horn pad (hard foot pad disease) may occur in some cases.
[Epidemiology] The disease can occur all year round, but it is more common in winter and spring. The disease has a certain periodicity and is prevalent once every three years. Dogs of different ages, sexes and breeds can be infected, but underage puppies are the most susceptible. Purebred dogs and police dogs are more susceptible to infection than native dogs, with serious reaction and high mortality. The most important sources of infection of this disease are nasal and eye secretions and urine. It has been reported that dogs infected with canine distemper virus still excrete urine after 60-90 days, so urine is a very dangerous source of infection. The main route of transmission is direct contact between sick dogs and healthy dogs, or infection through respiratory tract through air droplets. Once canine distemper is found in dogs in the same room, no matter how strict protective measures are taken, it is impossible to avoid the infection of dogs in the same room.
The incubation period of symptoms of canine distemper is 3-9 days. Symptoms are varied and related to virulence, environmental conditions, age and immune status. The initial symptom of canine distemper is an increase in body temperature, which lasts for 1-3 days. Then gradually disappear, much like the characteristics of a cold recovery. But after a few days, the body temperature rose again, and the duration was uncertain. Tears can be seen, conjunctiva is red and swollen, and eye secretions change from liquid to sticky pus. Dry nose, runny nose, serous runny nose first, then purulent runny nose. At the beginning of the disease, it was a dry cough, and later it turned into a wet cough, making it difficult to breathe. Vomiting, diarrhea, intussusception, and finally died of severe dehydration and weakness.
Neurosymptomatic canine distemper usually occurs about 10 days after the above symptoms appear. Clinically, cases of foot pad keratosis and rhinokeratosis cause frequent nervous system symptoms. The symptoms are different because the canine distemper virus invades the central nervous system in different places. The virus damages the brain, showing neurological symptoms such as epilepsy, turning in circles, abnormal standing posture, unstable gait, ataxia, paroxysmal convulsions of masticatory muscles and limbs. The prognosis of this nervous canine distemper is mostly poor.
Canine distemper virus can cause eye damage in some dogs, showing conjunctivitis and keratitis. Keratitis is most common about 15 days after onset, and the cornea turns white. In severe cases, corneal ulcer, perforation and blindness may occur.
The mortality rate of this disease in puppies is very high, and the mortality rate can reach 80 ~ 90%. It can also cause pneumonia, enteritis, intussusception and other symptoms.
Once the clinical symptoms of canine distemper appear, the prognosis is very poor. Especially dogs that have not been immunized. Although symptomatic treatment is carried out in clinic, it is difficult to control the development of the disease, and most of them die of nervous system symptoms and failure. Partially recovered dogs generally leave different degrees of sequelae.
[Prevention and Control]
(1) The preventive measure of the disease is to vaccinate against canine distemper regularly. The immunization program is: the first immunization time is 50 days old; The second exemption time is 80 days old; The third exemption time is 1 10 days old. After three immunizations, once a year. At present, six vaccines, five vaccines and three vaccines sold in the market can be immunized according to the above procedures.
(2) In case of canine distemper, in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading, the sick dogs must be strictly isolated quickly, and the sick house and the environment should be thoroughly disinfected with caustic soda, sodium hypochlorite and Lysol disinfectant. No contact between sick dogs and healthy dogs. For assumed healthy dogs and dogs threatened by epidemic situation that have not yet been infected, passive immunization with high-immunity serum of canine distemper or emergency vaccination with measles vaccine for children should be carried out immediately. After the epidemic situation is stable, canine distemper vaccine should be injected again.
[Treatment] A large dose of canine distemper serum can be injected after clinical symptoms appear, which can control the development of the disease. Giving a large dose of hyperimmune serum at the early stage of canine distemper fever can make the body enhance enough antibodies, prevent clinical symptoms and achieve the purpose of treatment. For the middle and late stage diseases with obvious clinical symptoms and neurological symptoms of canine distemper, it is difficult to cure most of them even by injecting canine distemper high immune serum.
Symptomatic treatment: supplementing sugar, fluid, reducing fever, preventing secondary infection and strengthening feeding management have certain therapeutic effects on this disease.
My family used to have a cocker spaniel, and it was up to the dog to keep warm, so my mother cured it in the above way!
My family is a veterinary family! Ha ha!
Can adult dogs get canine distemper?
Adult dogs get it, too. One week after vaccination is very important. Don't be tired. It is best not to go out. The vaccine with low immunity this week is attenuated virus. Induce the dog to produce antibodies and go to the hospital for examination. If there is any problem, deal with it quickly and check the original post >>
Are adult pet dogs prone to canine distemper? What are the symptoms?
The treatment of canine distemper must be treated by a doctor as soon as possible. If you are unfortunately infected with the virus, it is completely curable to use immune serum and antibacterial drugs at the beginning of the disease. Whether in hospital or at home, we need to prepare a warm and dry environment for it. The most important thing is to take the dog for vaccination during the puppy period, avoid going out during the epidemic period, and never touch the sick dog and its excrement and vomit. At present, there is no effective drug treatment for this disease. When sick dogs have obvious symptoms, the prognosis is often poor. Even if a few sick dogs endure it, there are still many sequelae. Under normal circumstances, targeted symptomatic treatment is taken to prevent secondary infection and reduce death. In the early stage of the disease, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of anti-canine distemper serum can achieve good results. The dosage of serum is 2-3 ml per kilogram of body weight, and it is applied continuously for 2-3 days. In order to control secondary infection, broad-spectrum antibiotics can be used, such as kanamycin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol and gentamicin. In order to improve circulation and prevent dehydration, a large amount of glucose solution and electrolyte should be supplemented. Combined with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs. At the same time, cardiotonic, diuretic and hemostatic drugs are used for comprehensive treatment, and oral tannic acid and bismuth subnitrate can also be taken to protect the gastrointestinal tract. Canine distemper is a common infectious disease with high exposure to infectious virus, which is mainly caused by virus infection through respiratory tract. The mortality rate is very high, and it is difficult to treat in the middle and late stage of the disease. At present, serum antibody therapy is generally used, which has certain effect in the early stage of the disease, and once it reaches the middle and late stage of the disease, the effect is very poor. So I don't think you need to use serum, infusion therapy and large doses of antibiotics, sedatives and antiviral drugs now. In addition, we should strengthen nursing. Antibiotic eye drops should be applied to the eyes and some antibiotics should be used to moisten the nasal cavity. Treatment: cephalosporin 1/ time, 3 times a day; Ribavirin twice, three times a day; Vitamin C 1 tablet/time, 3 tablets a day. Nursing: Feed glucose water every day, put a small amount of salt properly, and add Banlangen granules to the water, a small amount at a time, once every 2 hours. If the convulsion is serious, you can see sedatives or oral diazepam (human dose 1/3- 1/2). Use eye drops 7-8 times a day. But because it has reached the middle and late stage, it is difficult to achieve good curative effect. Prevention and control measures of canine distemper: (1) The prevention of canine distemper must be given priority and vaccination should be done well. (2) Do a good job of disinfection and isolation to prevent the spread of the epidemic. (3) In the early stage, a large number of hyperimmune serum or immunoglobulin, Li Qiangquan Kang, interferon and monoclonal antibody should be used. Do emergency passive immunization. (4) Symptomatic treatment: anti-infection, anti-virus and anti-shock drugs, such as ampicillin sodium, cefazolin sodium, micronomicin, kanamycin, Silkworm Disease Kang, Ribavirin, Shuanghuanglian, Qingkailing, Weibang, Libang, Bai Bing Xiao, Chuanhuning, Dexamethasone, Muscle Liver, CoA, Vitamins, rehydration and other drugs. Perform intramuscular injection or intravenous injection. (Dosage depends on weight and drug instructions. (5) Blood transfusion: the whole blood of dogs recovered from canine distemper is transfused to sick dogs through veins. (Blood types must match. In the early and middle stages of the disease, blood transfusion combined with infusion and anti-infection therapy has a high cure rate. In the late stage of canine distemper, dehydration is serious and the body is in a state of exhaustion. It can also be saved by timely blood transfusion, cardiotonic agent and fluid replacement. (6) Neurological symptoms appear in the late stage of canine distemper, but the above treatment methods are often ineffective. Need to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine "Wenling Decoction" (No.2 canine distemper), antelope horn injection, Niuhuang Angong pill and other drugs. (7) Acupuncture: It is best to use points such as Tianmen, Renzhong, Mingmen, Daoism and Dazhui. Now is the peak of canine distemper epidemic, and more dogs come to see a doctor. The prevention and treatment of canine distemper with combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine has received ideal effect. Treating canine fever (early stage) 1, this prescription is suitable for early stage or for prevention, and early stage means no severe cramp. . . . Coptidis Rhizoma 6G, Scutellariae Radix 10G, Gardenia Fructus 10G, Alismatis Rhizoma 10G, Glycyrrhrizae Radix 10G, Bombyx Batryticatus 6G, Isatidis Folium 10G, Radix Gentianae 10G, Radix Rehmanniae 20G, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae 20G, and Radix Gallbladder. Boil for about 45 minutes, 250-300ML each time, 15-25ML, 2-3 times a day. If it works, it will get better in a day and a half. 2. Give it to her. ......
Are adult dogs prone to canine distemper?
Canine distemper is just a serum. The cure mainly depends on the dog's own situation, which is easier to recover than large dogs.
What diseases do adult dogs get most easily? Canine distemper? Small?
In general, their dogs have been vaccinated before adulthood and are immune to canine distemper and canine parvovirus. If they are vaccinated once a year, their chances of suffering from infectious diseases will be reduced. Except for the new dog.
However, because dogs eat too much, which exceeds their digestive ability, or eat spoiled, rotten food, toxic food, plastics and stones, it may cause gastrointestinal diseases, diarrhea, vomiting and indigestion. If you don't eat food, you must pay attention to it. Especially in summer and autumn. for reference only

Encyclopedia of methods for treating parvovirus
At present, canine parvovirus has spread on a large scale, and many dog lovers have lost many dogs. The following treatment is the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine, and the success rate is relatively high. This is how my puppy is treated (now recovering, no rubbing, no diarrhea).
The first day of onset:
Infusion, the main drugs are: gentamicin, hyperimmune serum, amino acids, vitamin C and glucose (total 130 yuan).
Only gentamicin, vitamin C and glucose will do.
Condition: constant vomiting and pulling.
The next day:
Blood transfusion, drug unchanged, can barely control the disease. (130 yuan)
Condition: Continue to draw and continue to pull.
The third day:
I found a prescription online:
Prescription Pulsatilla 15g, Mume 15g, Coptidis Rhizoma 5g, Cortex Phellodendri 5g, Radix Curcumae 10g, and Fructus Chebulae 10g.
I took the appeal medicine to the pharmacy for consultation. They are all traditional Chinese medicines for clearing away heat and toxic materials. They are commonly used drugs. They are easy to buy and cost 2.5 yuan RMB. After taking the Chinese medicine home, I added about 2 bowls of water (usually eating bowls) and stayed up for half an hour. Then filter out the medicine and add a lot of glucose and vitamins (vitamins are used in Yangshengtang and sold in supermarkets). Then take out the medicine with a needle and force the dog to fill it once at noon and once at night 1 1: 00.
Conditions: I don't pull badly, but I throw up as soon as I drink water.
The fourth day:
Continue infusion, change the serum into small monoclonal antibody, and continue to feed Chinese medicine. (Antibodies are more expensive than serum, and it took 200 yuan a day).
When I got home, I squeezed out some delicious bags for the puppy to eat (made into paste), mixed some glucose and vitamins, added some warm water and gave the puppy three injections.
Conditions: the painting is not bad, don't pull.
Day 5:
I didn't go to the infusion. I continue to feed Chinese medicine. A friend's relatives are veterinarians and asked me to feed him ribavirin. I bought a bottle of ribavirin, ate half a tablet, ground it into powder, mixed it with traditional Chinese medicine and glucose, and fed it to the dog once a day.
Conditions: Not bad. I only painted it twice (a little) and pulled it once today.
Day 6:
Didn't go to the infusion. Continue to infuse traditional Chinese medicine, reduce the dosage of traditional Chinese medicine, increase the dosage of vitamin tablets and glucose, and feed it three times a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once before going to bed. Boil another egg, take the yolk, break it and put it in glucose.
Condition: Yes, I vomited once (a little) and pulled once.
Day 7 (today's article):
In order to prevent recurrence, I bought antibodies on Taobao and gave the puppy an injection (very simple, just lift the skin from the puppy's neck and stick it into the skin, the dose is 10ML).
Increased the dosage of vitamins, glucose, egg yolk, etc. Then I asked my friend's relatives that I could feed the puppy rice noodles and rub his stomach, saying it was a folk prescription. He said that this is the treatment in their area (animal husbandry area), and it is very effective. Let me find three medicines (unfortunately, I can't buy either):
1. Pioneer Baidu (veterinary Chinese patent medicine)
2. Ribavirin (bought a few days ago)
3. Ambien penicillin (not available, this is a prescription drug)
Conditions: I am much better today, I can walk around, but I still don't move much, at least better than other puppies in the hospital 10 times. On the first day, there were five sick puppies in the hospital, all of whom went on the same day. As a result, three puppies have died today, and one is in a bad state. My puppy is the best.
Summary:
1. It will be much more comfortable to rub the puppy's stomach. Especially after taking the medicine, it is not easy to vomit, so that the pharmaceutical ingredients can be absorbed.
2. Ribavirin, antibody (or hyperimmune serum) is essential.
If you are a little better, you should feed glucose and egg yolk, otherwise it is easy to starve the puppy, and hunger will reduce the resistance.
You can't feed anything until you get better.
The curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine is really good. It is recommended to add this medicine when the condition improves.
6. Before buying a puppy in the future, buy some test strips for parvovirus and canine distemper virus.
Several key points:
1, I personally suggest not to be hospitalized. The reasons are: there are many viruses in the hospital and it is easy to cross infection; The hospital's warm-keeping measures are not done well; Dogs need your company.
2. You must be willing to spend money to buy monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies from Yuan Heng were used, and each 75 yuan was given once a day for five days as a course of treatment. Pay attention to the weight, or you will be in danger of poisoning. ......

There are a lot of viruses in various secretions, excretions (nasal discharge, saliva, tears, pericardial fluid, pleural effusion, ascites, urine), blood, cerebrospinal fluid, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, spinal cord and other organs of sick dogs, which can be detoxified by respiratory secretions and urine. Healthy dogs are in direct contact with sick dogs or infected by polluted air or food through respiratory tract or digestive tract. Besides puppies, foxes and minks in fur animals are also very susceptible to canine distemper.
