Canine distemper is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract. Healthy dogs may become infected when they come into contact with air contaminated by canine distemper virus. After being infected with this disease, dogs often show symptoms such as fever, sneezing, coughing, purulent nasal discharge, and eye mucus. As the disease worsens, they may also experience symptoms such as foaming at the mouth, convulsions, and lethargy. Canine distemper is a severe infectious disease that causes great damage to the dog's body, with a mortality rate of up to 80%. It is recommended that canine distemper be treated as early as possible.
What to do if a dog gets canine distemper:
1. In the early stage of canine distemper, drugs such as canine distemper monoclonal antibody and canine interferon need to be used promptly to prevent to inhibit viral replication.
2. Infection control drugs need to be used, such as drugs containing ceftiofur sodium, amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium and other ingredients.
3. If you have a severe cough, you can use drugs containing aminophylline, caracin and other ingredients.
