Canine distemper is not contagious to humans. Canine distemper is caused by canine distemper virus infection. It mainly infects canines and cannot be transmitted to humans, so don’t worry about dogs infecting themselves. But canine distemper is highly contagious to dogs. The disease is transmitted through the dog's saliva, urine and other body fluids. If there is more than one dog in the family, the owner must be isolated and treated in time to avoid infection.

How to tell if your dog has canine distemper:

1. The simplest method: use canine distemper test paper to test to see if the dog has canine distemper.

2. Measure the body temperature, whether there is two-way fever: usually the beginning of canine distemper is no different from the general cold. Take the dog's body temperature every six hours to see if it has a fever in the morning and evening, and it is better at noon. The rise in body temperature in the morning and evening is an obvious feature of canine distemper.

3. Dry and cracked paw pads and nose: Many dogs with canine distemper in the early stage have this condition, which is very different from a cold.

4. Increased secretions from the nose and eyes: Although colds also cause runny nose and tears, the sticky secretions are not so much, and the secretions around the eyes with canine distemper may even stick the eyes, which is different from colds. It is also significantly different.
