Symptoms and prevention methods of Samoyed canine distemper

Symptoms of distemper in Samoyed dogs:

1. Once the Samoyed gets canine distemper, the initial body temperature will start to rise (up to 40°C), but it will return to normal after 1-2 days. At this time, the owner may think that the dog is just a small cold, and there is nothing too serious care.

2. When Samoyed's body temperature continues to rise in the middle stage, a small number of cases die at this time, with red and yellow urine, sticky or purulent secretions in both eyes, mental deterioration, anorexia, but still have an appetite.

3. Slowly, the canine distemper virus will start to invade the respiratory system. The dog will show elevated body temperature, ocular discharge, nasal to purulent nasal juice, cough, rapid breathing, and lung auscultation with rales and other pneumonia symptoms. Respiratory symptoms, swollen eyelids, purulent conjunctivitis in sick dogs.

4. Samoyeds often develop corneal ulcers in the late stage of the disease; there are large red spots of rice grains, edema, and purulent papules on the skin of the lower abdomen and inner thigh; dogs often vomit, constipation, diarrhea, feces, and sometimes

5. In the late stage of canine distemper, the Samoyed will also have neurological symptoms, such as opening and closing the mouth, or rhythmic shaking of the corners of the mouth, head muscles, or one, two or four legs. Epilepsy, spasmodic intermittent seizures, involuntary continuous smacking of the lips, foamy mouth or blood in the saliva, incontinence of urine and feces, excitement and restlessness after convulsions, blind running, and finally general weakness and rest on the ground.

How to prevent canine distemper:

1. The best way is to immunize regularly and inoculate canine distemper vaccine.

2. Avoid going to places where dogs are densely populated to avoid outbreaks of canine epidemics and infection.

3. The home should be disinfected regularly. It is best for the owner to disinfect in time when returning home from outside. If other dogs in the house are sick, they must be isolated and disinfected immediately.
