Canine distemper should be treated as soon as possible. Once it develops into neurological symptoms, dogs are difficult to cure.
Symptoms of canine distemper include cough, runny nose, anorexia, vomiting, depression and even nervous system symptoms.
The treatment principle of canine distemper is to inhibit virus proliferation, control secondary infection and necessary symptomatic treatment. Biological agents such as monoclonal antibodies against canine distemper and high titer immune serum are mainly used to inhibit virus proliferation.
At the same time, the rational use of interferon in dogs also has a positive effect on inhibiting virus proliferation. To control the secondary infection of bacteria in respiratory tract and digestive tract, drugs containing ceftriaxone and ampicillin are mainly used throughout the body. If the dog is dehydrated due to diarrhea, it needs to be supplemented with body fluids and electrolytes.
For dogs with nervous system symptoms, the clinical manifestations are convulsions, groans and limb strokes. It is suggested to give necessary stable treatment, but the treatment is of little significance, and the symptoms usually get worse, which can lead to death in severe cases.
