The difference between fever and canine distemper
First, the symptoms are different. Canine distemper manifests as biphasic fever. The incubation period of the disease is 3-6 days. Most dogs' body temperature rises to above 39.8 degrees on the fourth and fifth days after infection. This will last for 1-2 days, followed by 2-3 days. During the remission period of several days, the body temperature tends to normal body temperature of 38.5-39.5 degrees. Dogs with fever usually return to normal body temperature within 1-2 days. Second, the treatments are different. Canine distemper needs to be treated with monoclonal antibodies, interferon, globulin, etc., as well as symptomatic treatment. Dog fevers are treated with physical cooling or antipyretic drugs.
Precautions for dogs suffering from canine distemper:
1. Give it daily infusion and injection treatment according to the doctor’s prescription. You can inject it with monoclonal antibodies and Interferon, and also feed the dog some food that helps improve immunity.
2. The environment where dogs live and the places they frequently visit must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected every day. Keep the environment clean to prevent sick dogs from contracting other diseases.
3. Dog care should be strengthened every day. For example, combing, cleaning eyes, giving eye drops to dogs, etc. Note, be sure to keep your dog warm and never let it catch a cold.
