What are the sequelae of canine distemper?

Sequelae of canine distemper:

1. Decreased memory. The virus carried by canine distemper can easily damage the dog’s nervous system. Even after it is cured, the damage will not disappear. The dog may shake its head and lose memory, and may forget what the owner trained before.

2. The body is prone to allergies. After canine distemper is cured, the dog's body may become more sensitive. If the surrounding environment is hot and humid, it is easy to make the dog sick.

3. Poor breathing. Even after the cure, the dog may still have shortness of breath, cough or runny nose.

4. Physical incoordination. After the dog is cured, the relatively mild sequelae are physical incoordination, the dog is prone to unsteady standing, and the legs are also prone to twitching, which makes the dog unwilling to walk.

5. Decreased appetite. Dogs used to be very greedy. When they see food, dogs may not be able to move. Especially the food that dogs love, they will keep eating and feel that they will never be full. However, dogs are prone to loss of appetite after canine distemper, and the absorption of nutrients is not very good.

What to do if the dog has canine distemper:

1. In the early stage of canine distemper, the dog’s body temperature will rise significantly. The owner should dissipate heat for the dog in time. You can move it to a cool place, or feed it to drink cold water to cool down. The owner can measure the dog’s body temperature in the morning, at night, and at night. If the dog’s body temperature drops too low, consider keeping it warm.

2. After the dog gets canine distemper, the owner can go to the pharmacy to buy fever medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine and antibiotics, distribute them appropriately according to the weight of the dog, and let the dog take it 2-3 times a day. If the dog does not take medicine, the owner can feed it with a needle.

3. For the owner who has no treatment experience, you can send the dog to the pet hospital as soon as possible and let the veterinarian treat it. After recovery, the owner can feed the dog some nutrition to help it supplement nutrition and improve immunity to prevent canine distemper again.
