⑴The normal body temperature of dogs is generally 38.5-39.3℃
⑵ Then it subsides, very similar to the characteristics of a cold recovery. The sick dog seems to be getting better, causing most dog owners to relax their vigilance. If they can find a cure at this time, it is very easy to cure.
Depressed spirits, but some dogs are particularly lively or quiet, making it difficult for owners to distinguish the symptoms.
Loss of appetite, little eating, red conjunctiva, swollen eyelids, and secretion of watery secretions.
The nose is dry and watery secretions flow out. At the beginning of the disease, there was a dry cough, and the puppies also developed problems such as sneezing and osteoid sclerosis of the metaphysis (chondrodysplasia of the metaphysis of long bones).
Constipation at first, then diarrhea soon, feces smelly, sometimes mixed with blood and air bubbles. Gastrointestinal infections include vomiting, diarrhea, and intussusception. Intussusception may also occur if the puppy is also infected with intestinal parasites.

The footpads of dogs suffering from canine distemper are thickened and cracked, and in a few cases, transitional lesions of keratotic skin on the soles of the feet can be seen.
May present with complex symptoms clinically. Many dogs will experience swelling, hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis, and cracking of the foot pillow (this change will be mentioned in many textbooks and materials). So what significance do these symptoms have in the diagnosis and treatment of canine distemper? In fact, although these symptoms are common to us, they do not have any practical clinical significance. Why do you say this? Because first of all, whether the footpads are thickened or not cannot be used as a basis for diagnosing whether a dog has canine distemper; secondly, thickened footpads cannot be used as a basis for judging the stage of canine distemper; thirdly, whether the footpads are thickened can not be used as a basis for judging the stage of canine distemper. Whether the foot pads return to normal cannot be used as a basis for diagnosing the recovery of canine distemper; and simply looking at the thickened foot pads will not affect the development of canine distemper, let alone endanger the dog's life, so canine distemper The thickening of the footpad does not have any practical significance clinically, so we do not need to observe changes in the footpad during treatment.
