Can dogs be infected when they are exposed to canine distemper?

* * Yes, dogs may be infected with canine distemper.

Canine distemper, also known as canine parvovirus disease or canine distemper, is a highly contagious infectious disease, mainly occurring in puppies under one year old. The sick dog showed subacute clinical manifestations. Common symptoms include high fever, listlessness, anorexia, intractable vomiting, sticky secretions in mouth, eyes and nose, sticky feces, bloody diarrhea, severe dehydration and anemia.

If the dog has not been vaccinated against canine distemper, or the vaccine protection period has expired, it may be infected after contact with dogs with canine distemper. Even healthy dogs may be infected if they come into contact with dogs suffering from canine distemper. Therefore, if your dog comes into contact with dogs suffering from canine distemper, you should separate healthy dogs from dogs suffering from canine distemper and disinfect the living environment of healthy dogs and healthy dogs. In addition, the incubation period of canine distemper is about 2 to 7 days. If your dog doesn't show any symptoms of canine distemper within seven days, it is suggested that the owner take the healthy dog to the animal hospital for infectious disease screening for early detection and treatment.
