If the dog has not been immunized, it is easy to be infected after contact with a dog with canine distemper. Canine distemper virus is a highly contagious and highly lethal disease. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of dogs contracting the disease, it is recommended that the owner vaccinate against the disease at the age of 45 days, and then vaccinate every 21 days for continuous vaccination. High concentrations of antibodies can be produced after three injections. Thereafter, a booster immunization is given annually.    

How to treat canine distemper:

1. First of all, in the early stage of canine distemper, drugs such as canine distemper monoclonal antibody and canine interferon need to be used in time to inhibit virus replication.

2. Secondly, it is necessary to use drugs to control infection, such as drugs containing ceftiofur sodium, amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium and other ingredients.

3. Furthermore, if there is a severe cough, you can use medicines containing aminophylline, fruit root and other ingredients.
