What are the early symptoms of canine distemper in Alaska

In the early stage of canine distemper infection in Alaska, the body temperature will rise, generally around 39.5-41 degrees, loss of appetite, depression and depression, secretions from the eyes and nose, sneezing and diarrhea. The initial symptoms will be similar to those of a cold, so many owners will think that the dog just has a cold, which will cause Alaska to miss the best treatment period. And once in the middle and late stages of canine distemper, the dog's body temperature will rise again. At this time, the dog will start to cough, and there will be purulent secretions from the eyes and nose, which may even cause blindness. In addition, as the gastrointestinal disease intensifies, the dog will vomit and have loose bowels, have no appetite at all, and will start to be highly lethargic.

Treatment for canine distemper in Alaska:

1. Go to the hospital in time, the sooner the better.

2. Canine distemper must be eaten. If you are sick and weak, you can use goat milk to soften the dog food to promote digestion. It must be noted that skipping meals for canine distemper is the biggest taboo, and almost half of the treatment is due to eating.

3. Symptomatic treatment aimed at the etiology, although treating the symptoms but not the root cause, is equally important! For example, when convulsions occur, some anti-convulsion drugs can be applied appropriately, so that the dog will not feel too uncomfortable and have more strength to fight against the disease.

4. Prevention of secondary infection, where secondary infection generally refers to bacterial infection. Canine distemper itself is a viral infection, but in some cases, viral infection can easily lead to secondary bacterial infections, which can aggravate the condition.
