Canine distemper is a fierce infectious disease of pet dogs with a very high mortality rate and was initially prevalent in Spain. Puppies with pet dogs are more likely to suffer from this disease. The pathogen of canine distemper is canine distemper virus; diseased dogs with this disease have bipolar fever, rhinitis, severe digestive tract disorders and respiratory inflammation.
During this epidemic season, it is strictly forbidden to bring dogs to places where dogs gather. If you find that your dog has canine distemper, you should be isolated and treated in time to prevent the spread. There is currently no particularly effective treatment. In the early stage of the onset, serum or whole blood can be used for rehabilitation of this disease or intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The dose is 45 ml of serum and 10-15 ml of whole blood, which can achieve certain therapeutic effects.
The early treatment of concurrent infections was performed with antibiotics, and each dog was intramuscularly injected 801.6 million units of penicillin, or 80,000-160,000 units of gentamicin for intramuscular injection, twice a day. The high fever does not subside. Use an alcohol bath to physically cool it down. The drug can be selected as a compound aminopyline of 510 ml each time, twice a day. When accompanied by dysentery, chloramphenicol is used. The dosage of adult dogs is 510 mg per kilogram of body weight, twice a day, and can be taken at the same time.
There is no effective treatment for canine distemper yet. Once dogs are infected, the mortality rate is very high. Therefore, prevention is the key. Regular vaccination of dogs, regular exercise to enhance resistance, eat healthy food, and do not go to places with many dogs, so as to protect the health of the dog.
