How to distinguish canine distemper from a cold

To distinguish whether a dog has a cold or canine distemper, the easiest and quickest way is to collect the secretions of the mouth, nose and eyes of the affected dog, it is best to add a little whole blood or serum, and use the canine distemper test board to detect the canine distemper antigen for judgment . Because dogs infected with canine distemper virus will also have symptoms similar to colds such as coughing, sneezing, and runny nose in the early stage of the disease, it is easy to be confused with a cold.
