What medicine should dogs take for canine distemper?

Canine distemper can be treated with specific canine distemper virus monoclonal antibodies combined with interferon in the early stage. When there are neurological symptoms, oral anti-epileptic drugs or sedatives can be tried. Antibiotics can be used for secondary bacterial infections, and supportive therapy is required. When vomiting or diarrhea occurs, provide fluid rehydration and antidiarrheal treatment.

When the dog's mental state improves and his appetite recovers, follow-up observation is required for 2 to 3 weeks. During this period, the dog's resistance should be strengthened to reduce the risk of canine distemper virus invading the nerves.
