What is canine distemper?
Canine distemper is a contagious disease that is key to damage young dogs caused by canine distempervirus infection (CDV). Canine distemper virus is cold-resistant and not high temperature. Under refrigeration standards, viral infection can survive for several weeks, but it is unstable under the standards of 50℃~60℃. The infection rate of canine distemper virus is high and the mortality rate is high. The mortality rate among young dogs is above 90%, and the satisfaction is above 50%.
Clinical epidemiology of canine distemper
Pathogen: sick dogs and dogs who have been sick (of course, after 60 to 90 days of infection, the urine and respiratory system are still distributed in vitro and excrement)
Transmission route: contact transmission, droplet transmission and other airborne transmission methods
Infectious source animal: all unimmunized animals, the most infectious source of dogs aged 3 to 6 months.
Types: respiratory system, digestive system, nervous system, skin type
Key symptoms
After the canine distemper virus enters the dog's body, it is copied in the lymph nodes of tonsillitis, throat, and bronchitis; the neural central system software and tissue cells develop symptoms 8 to 14 days after infection.
Original symptoms
The mental state is substantive, poor appetite, body temperature reaches 39.5℃~41℃, there are essential substances on the eyes and nose, symptoms such as sneezing, dry cough, and diarrhea.
Middle and late symptoms
Pus-shaped eyes and nose are essential, and the basal body temperature rises again, nausea, diarrhea, and appetite.
Middle and late symptoms
Typical psychiatric symptoms, paralysis, cerebellar ataxia, epilepsy, etc.
Most canine distemper cases are accompanied by bacterial infection,
Confirmed
1, CDV detection kit, positive/false negative is likely;
2, Comprehensive various clinical medical symptoms, pathophysiology tests, X-ray examinations, etc.;
3, Antigen level test can help to conduct diagnosis, increase the IgG titer by 2 to 3 weeks to 4 times, or IgM antibodies can be detected in serum protein;
4, PCR test jugular vein blood, brain tissue, and conjunctivitis to obtain virus code.
Prevention and treatment
1. The best treatment method is immediate immunity. Immunization can prevent canine distemper infection at a higher level;
2. Treatment: use monoclonal antibody, interferon suppository and other drugs to improve the human antiviral treatment ability;
3. Drug treatment: use antibiotics to manipulate secondary bacterial infections, manipulate symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea in the affected dog;
4. Improve nutritional components: Diet and fever are severe, you can use drip treatment to accelerate metabolism and supplement vitamins. Dogs that can eat can use health products with stronger digestion and absorption of nutrients to carry out nutritional supplements.
Doxycycline sulfate tablets are antifungal drugs, both fat-soluble and water-soluble, and can be widely distributed in the body, reasonably manipulating secondary infections caused by viral infections.
The main components of Vilibus are hydrolysis reaction chicken breast protein, condensation whey protein powder, fish oil, vitamins, minerals, etc. The nutrients have smaller molecular structures, making it easier for sick pets to digest and absorb.
