Canine distemper treatment plan:
1. High-dose antiviral: I use ribavirin or ribavirin, but I prefer the former, subcutaneous injection (Note that it should be injected into the dog’s neck skin), one tube (2ml) at a time, twice a day, do not dilute.
2. High-dose anti-inflammatory: I chose cefotaxime sodium, the third generation of cephalosporins. Of course, you can also choose others. Considering economic factors, this one is cheaper. It is injected subcutaneously and dissolved in 4ml of sterile water for injection. 1g powder injection, half injected at a time, twice a day.
3. Enhance immunity: If conditions are good, you can choose serum, immunoglobulin, monoclonal antibodies, and thymosin. Considering financial reasons, I chose the oral Zhenqi Fuzheng capsule (which can also be Zhenqi Fuzheng granules). Zhenqi Fuzheng is composed of Astragalus membranaceus and Ligustrum lucidum. It often helps cancer and frail patients enhance their resistance and has good curative effects. If you use capsules, take two at a time, twice a day. Take out the contents of the capsules and dilute them with warm water. If you use granules, divide one pack into two and eat them and dilute them with warm water. (Dogs generally don’t eat it and need to be poured in, but be careful to avoid choking and coughing).
4. Relieving cough and asthma: Still choose traditional Chinese medicine, but not too much. It is recommended to use Chuanbei Paba Cough Lotion, three times a day, as long as appropriate.
5. Smooth Qi and stop vomiting: Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid (do not use Huoxiang Zhengqi water, it is too bitter and will irritate the dog’s gastrointestinal tract), just a small amount, twice a day, stop using it when no vomiting occurs. Take Qingkailing oral liquid twice a day, one tube at a time.
6. Other symptomatic treatments: loss of appetite, porridge (mixed vegetables, minced meat, preferably not pig liver at this time, should be thin, pour into the dog's mouth. If unable to eat or eat immediately Vomiting, the only solution is infusion (inosine + 10% glucose + vitamin C), but the key depends on whether you have the level of infusion
