How to deal with dog 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 nutritional supplements to help it supplement nutrition and improve immunity to prevent canine distemper from recurring.

Symptoms of canine distemper:

1. Overall performance: the dog suffers from loss of appetite or does not eat at all, and the body temperature changes in a biphasic heat type, that is, the body temperature first rises to 39-41 degrees, lasts for 1 to 3 days, and then gradually subsides, approaching normal temperature, After a few days, the body temperature rises again, and severe cases can lead to death.

2. Respiratory system type (pneumonia type): manifested as rhinitis and conjunctivitis, with serous or mucopurulent secretions in the eyes and nose. If ophthalmic neuritis is caused, it can lead to blindness. The virus invades the lungs and causes interstitial pneumonia, and secondary bacterial infection can cause bronchial pneumonia. The clinical manifestations are cough, dyspnea, and crepitus on auscultation.

3. Gastrointestinal type: It manifests as vomiting and diarrhea. Sick dogs have severe diarrhea, occasionally discharge bloody stools, and appear tenesmus.
