1, prophase: the dog developed watery secretions from the eyes and nose, with a body temperature as high as 40 degrees Celsius for about 2 days. The dog seems to be better, eating a little, close to normal temperature. Then the body temperature rose for the second time and lasted for several weeks. At this time, the respiratory tract and digestive tract show more obvious catarrhal inflammation. This situation usually lasts between 1-2 weeks.
2. Mid-term: As the body temperature rises for the second time, the condition worsens, and the secondary infection of various bacteria becomes more serious, with chills, mental ups and downs, increased nasal and eye secretions turning into purulent and oral erosion. Cough, tracheitis, pneumonia symptoms often appear, vomiting, diarrhea and so on. Sometimes, I lose my appetite or don't eat at all, and my body gradually becomes thinner. This situation usually lasts for more than 1 month.
3. Late stage: signs of neurological symptoms. In addition to the mid-term symptoms, dogs occasionally have nervous system symptoms, such as withering, muscle pain and weakness, muscle paroxysmal spasm, imbalance, circular motion, epileptic shock and coma. Usually this symptom lasts 1-2 weeks and the dog dies.
Some sick dogs have papules and blisters. In the middle and late stage, some of them have formed fleshy toes (foot and hoof sclerosis) on the skin below the abdomen or inside the thigh.
treat cordially
1, symptomatic treatment
(1) Prevention and treatment of secondary infection. Canine distemper dogs develop rapidly, and the infection is serious, mainly secondary infection of bacteria. The harm caused by a single canine distemper virus is not very serious. Therefore, sufficient anti-elements should be used in the treatment of canine distemper to prevent secondary infection. Antibiotics commonly used in treatment include penicillin, ampicillin, clindamycin, cephalosporin, amikacin, flugualic acid, ciprofloxacin and so on. Clinical treatment shows that a sufficient combination of penicillin and aminoglycosides is not only effective, but also cheap, and should be the first choice. Of course, broad-spectrum antibiotics, ampicillin and cephalosporins are often effective, but the cost is high, so they can be used as secondary or standby.
(2) stopping vomiting, stopping bleeding, relieving cough and resolving phlegm. Canine distemper dogs usually have vomiting, diarrhea, bloody dysentery, cough and other symptoms, but the symptoms of dogs are not too serious. When choosing therapeutic drugs, we should comprehensively consider the symptoms and physical conditions of the disease, such as abdominal distension and vomiting, and choose dynamic antiemetic drugs such as metoclopramide and ephedrine. If the gastrointestinal tract stops vomiting after emptying, you can choose Emerson, atropine, chlorpromazine, etc. Calm the gastrointestinal tract. Vitamin B6 can promote amino acid metabolism and show antiemetic effect. It can be used with canine distemper to stop vomiting, but it is best to use it with other antiemetic drugs.
Medication for bloody dysentery: calcium gluconate and Vc can be supplemented appropriately, and vitamin K and hemostatic drugs can be injected at the same time.
Cough relieving and expectorant: On the basis of anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory, appropriate antitussive and expectorant drugs are selected for treatment. Such as Kebiqing, Keteling, Bishou, etc., the symptoms are generally relieved faster.
2. Infusion of sugar. Except in the early stage, canine distemper is mostly due to long-term loss of appetite or extinction, and sick dogs are in a state of "hunger", and some dogs are dehydrated to varying degrees. Therefore, timely sugar and fluid supplementation can effectively promote the body's metabolism and enhance the body's disease resistance. In treatment, most dogs suffering from canine distemper are not dehydrated properly, and the ratio of 5- 10% GS to normal saline 1: 1 is often used. The infusion volume is about 200ml for dogs and 500- 1000 ml for large dogs. During blood transfusion, sick dogs repeatedly urinate (mostly puppies), so special attention should be paid to monitoring cardiopulmonary function. If you find that your heart rate is too fast, you have difficulty breathing, you frequently struggle and vomit, you should immediately limit the amount and speed of infusion. Usually, at the end or near the end of infusion, the dog's urine shows that the fluid replacement is basically satisfied, otherwise the infusion volume can be increased as appropriate.
Attention should also be paid to the supplement of electrolyte potassium when transporting sugar and rehydrating. Potassium is a regulator to maintain intracellular fluid osmotic pressure and acid-base balance. When the sick dog is deficient in potassium, it will show indifference and muscle weakness, increased heart rate and irregular rhythm. Dogs suffering from canine distemper have long-term loss of appetite or waste of food, and their potassium intake is insufficient. In addition, they are often accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, resulting in a certain amount of potassium loss. Especially in the process of treatment, a large amount of potassium is excreted through urine, which is easy to cause hypokalemia. So pay attention to potassium supplementation. Commonly used10% KC15-10ml is added into 500ml infusion for drip, which is safe, convenient and effective.
As for the problem of acid-base balance, it should also be considered in treatment. Without the determination of plasma CO2 binding capacity, only by deeply understanding and observing the occurrence and development process of canine disease and the drug use in the pre-treatment period can we make a general diagnosis of the acid-base balance of dogs. Canine distemper dogs sometimes vomit and diarrhea, but the loss of gastric acid and alkaline intestinal juice is not too serious. Therefore, sodium bicarbonate cannot be used blindly in treatment. It is observed that the dog has a persistent fever and loss of appetite. When rehydration is carried out for more than two times, adding a certain amount of sodium bicarbonate to the infusion is very beneficial to the recovery of dogs.
3. Special therapy. It is effective to inject a large dose of anti-canine distemper serum in the early and middle stages of dog warming. The dosage is generally10-15ml per day for 3-5 days. At the same time, immune enhancers, levamisole, transfer factors and interferon are used as appropriate, and the curative effect is better. It doesn't seem to have any effect on dogs in the middle and late stages. In addition, it should be pointed out that only on the basis of symptomatic treatment can a specific therapy achieve satisfactory results.
4. nursing. The course of canine distemper is long and the constitution is poor, so the nursing work in the treatment process is also very important. Generally speaking, dogs should live in a dry and comfortable environment and eat less digestible food.
Results and prognosis
Correctly taking the above comprehensive treatment measures can control the disease. Generally, the early stage is 1 course (3-5 days), the middle stage is 1-2 course, and the later stage is more than 2 courses. The so-called disease control, the reaction characteristics of sick dogs are: the body temperature drops below 39 degrees Celsius, there is no obvious secretion in eyes, nose and mouth, the appetite basically recovers, and the symptoms of nervous system have not developed or improved. On the basis of disease control, the sick dog is expected to recover withIN 2-3 weeks by taking antibiotics such as Xianfeng in, spirulina, vitamin B and C.
Prognosis: The recovery rate in early and middle stage is good, but the recovery rate in later stage is not good, especially when there are symptoms of encephalitis and pneumonia, it is of little significance to implement treatment. Some sick dogs have improved their symptoms for a period of time after treatment, but they finally turned the corner. From the treatment process, we know that after 2-3 days of treatment, especially the treatment of sugar infusion and fluid replacement, when the symptoms of dogs have not improved significantly, the general result is that the recovery rate is extremely low! !

Treatment of canine distemper with combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine
I use the method of combining traditional Chinese and western medicine to adjust my daily diet, so that the puppy can have a good mental state when fighting diseases.
Details: At that time, my little dog (cocker) was skinny and mentally ill, and basically never left the nest. He often has a low fever, yellow nose and severe wet cough. After I was diagnosed with suspected canine distemper, I asked the company for a week's leave, plus six or seven days, in one go.
