How to Effectively Treat Canine Distemper:

1. Early intervention is crucial for dogs infected with canine distemper. The sooner treatment begins, the greater the chances of survival. This hinges on the early detection of the disease, which can be subtle but noticeable. Symptoms may include high fever, a lack of energy, decreased appetite, and watery nasal discharge. Sometimes, dogs may also sneeze and suffer from diarrhea. It's essential for everyone to be vigilant and recognize these signs promptly.

2. Despite advancements in veterinary medicine, there is no definitive cure for canine distemper. Only a small percentage of recovered dogs may experience longterm effects. However, treatment should be aggressive. Once infected, dogs should receive subcutaneous injections of canine distemper immune serum and antibiotics immediately. The dosage is typically 23ml per kilogram of body weight, administered three times daily for 23 days.

Since canine distemper is transmitted via the respiratory route, antibiotics such as ampicillin, erythromycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, and penicillin are used to prevent infection.

It's also important to prevent dehydration. Dogs should be given ample amounts of glucose and electrolyte solutions to stay hydrated. Additionally, antiinflammatory and antipyretic medications should be administered.

For antiinflammatory antibiotics, the choice should be based on their efficacy. Begin with penicillin, followed by first, second, and thirdgeneration cephalosporins. Then, administer Xiao Chai Hu injection. Continue this treatment for 46 days, and from the 7th to 9th day, add ribavirin injections twice daily. The goal of this treatment is to control symptoms, maintain a stable body temperature, and prevent or reduce inflammation spread.

Ultimately, the aim is complete control and recovery. After the 10th day, you can introduce oral medications like Yin Chiao San and Qing Kailing Capsules as directed. To avoid drug resistance, each medication should be administered for about three days. With patience and proper care, if a dog's body temperature remains below 39 degrees Celsius and no other complications arise, the treatment will be effective, and the disease will be wellcontrolled. Generally, dogs with canine distemper without complications can be cured by controlling the spread of infection and preventing complications. This requires our understanding and love for our pets, enabling us to detect abnormalities early. Good, attentive care postinfection is vital, including adjustments to the dog's living environment and diet, tailored to their recovery progress.
