Because dogs infected with canine distemper virus will have cold-like symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and runny nose in the early stages of the disease, it is easy to be confused with a cold. To distinguish whether a dog has a cold or canine distemper, the simplest and fastest way is to collect the secretions from the mouth, nose, and eyes of the affected dog. It is best to add a little whole blood or serum and detect the canine distemper antigen through the canine distemper test board. Make judgments.

Methods to prevent canine distemper:

1. The most effective method is to vaccinate regularly to prevent canine distemper. For the health of the dog, the owner should take the dog for vaccination regularly to ensure that the dog has enough antibodies to resist the virus.

2. When taking your dog out, do not come into contact with stray dogs, because stray dogs carry more viruses and bacteria, and do not let your dog come into contact with the excrement of other dogs.

3. Make sure the dog’s living environment is clean and dry to avoid the growth of some viruses and bacteria.
