Medications for treating canine distemper:

1. Use drugs containing canine distemper monoclonal antibodies, canine interferon and other drugs to inhibit virus reproduction.

2. Use antibiotics containing ceftiofur sodium, ampicillin, enrofloxacin, amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium to control secondary infections.

3. Use Bupleurum injection, Qingkailing and other drugs to reduce fever. You can also use alcohol wipes or ice packs to physically cool down your dog.

4. Canine distemper can also cause respiratory symptoms in dogs. Cough medications such as aminophylline and pentovirin can be used.

5. If neurological symptoms occur, sedative and antispasmodic drugs, such as chlorpromazine, diazepam, etc., need to be used accordingly.

Precautions for dogs suffering from canine distemper:

1. Hyperimmune serum must be injected as early as possible. This is an effective measure to remove viruses from the body. Depending on the condition, it can be done once a day, or once in the morning and afternoon.

2. If the dog's respiratory secretions are very large and even affect breathing, atomization can be used appropriately to relieve the problem, which can dilute the sputum and accelerate the discharge of secretions.

3. Symptomatic treatment. Dogs are small, and continuous vomiting and loose stools can easily cause dehydration. If fluids are not replenished in time, it will be life-threatening. Timely cardiac stimulation and fluid replenishment can maintain the nutrients needed for body metabolism and maintain acid-base balance and electrolyte balance.
