Is it painful for a dog with canine distemper that keeps twitching and moaning?

Yes, it is very painful when a dog has canine distemper and is convulsing. Parents should comfort the dog well at this time and help the dog tide over the difficulties. Generally, the dog has not died after two months. Parents can basically rest assured, but they cannot take it lightly, because the canine distemper virus will still exist in the dog's body for one year.

Tip:

There is no specific medicine for the canine distemper virus and it can only be prevented through vaccination. Therefore, parents who raise dogs are best to inject vaccines in time to prevent their dogs from being infected with canine distemper.
