Methods for treating canine distemper:
1. After a dog gets canine distemper, it should be sent to a pet hospital for formal treatment.
2. Use high-dose canine distemper hyperimmune serum, canine distemper monoclonal antibody and canine gamma globulin in the early stage of the disease.
3. Target the cause and symptomatic treatment. For example, when convulsions occur, some anti-convulsant drugs can be appropriately applied.
4. Supportive treatment. A key to defeating canine distemper is for dogs to establish their own active immunity. For example, in the case of vomiting and diarrhea, dogs need infusion to correct water and electrolyte imbalances. In addition, one of the symptoms of canine distemper is loss of appetite. In order to ensure sufficient energy supply, infusion is sometimes necessary. Especially younger dogs can easily develop hypoglycemia and even coma without eating.
4. Prevent secondary infection. Secondary infection here generally refers to bacterial infection. Canine distemper itself is a viral infection, but in some cases, viral infection can easily lead to secondary bacterial infection, thus aggravating the condition.
Notes after canine distemper is cured:
1. Be sure to take your dog for vaccination immediately, and confirm antibody production before taking your dog out. In addition, booster shots are required every year.
2. The dog’s resistance is weak after recovery. The owner should provide him with nutrition to improve his body’s immunity.
3. Pay attention to keeping the dog warm and not letting the dog catch a cold.
