If the owner has not vaccinated the dog against canine distemper, there is a high probability that the dog will be infected by playing with a dog suffering from canine distemper. Because canine distemper is a highly contagious and fatal infectious disease, the virus can be spread through droplets, urine, etc., and the spores of the canine distemper virus are very tolerant. Some viruses can survive in the environment for 3 months. Even as long as half a year, so dogs must be disinfected in time after coming into contact with canine distemper dogs.

Methods to prevent canine distemper:

1. The best way to immunize against canine distemper is to vaccinate regularly.

2. If a dog at home has canine distemper, it must be isolated and treated, and the home environment and items used by the dog must be disinfected in a timely manner.

3. Secondly, healthy dogs can be given emergency preventive injections, using anti-canine distemper hyperimmune serum for passive immunization, and then vaccinated against canine distemper more than 20 days later. For puppies that are not sick, human measles vaccine can be used, and canine distemper hyperimmune serum can be used at the same time, which has good results.

4. The newly brought home dog must be isolated and fed for a period of time before the two dogs can meet.
