Timely isolation and treatment. Timely detection of sick dogs, early isolation and treatment, and prevention of secondary infections are the key to improving the cure rate and reducing mortality. In the early stage of the disease, anti-canine distemper hyperimmune serum (or canine five-linked hyperimmune serum) or serum from dogs that have recovered from the disease can be injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
