Canine distemper can be transmitted to dogs. Canine distemper is a highly contagious disease caused by canine distemper virus infection. Usually, the mortality rate of puppies infected with canine distemper can reach 80% to 90%. Dogs infected with canine distemper and dogs with canine distemper virus are the main sources of infection. They mainly detoxify to the outside world through the respiratory tract, digestive tract and urine. Healthy dogs are in direct contact with sick dogs, or infected through polluted air.

Methods to identify whether a dog has canine distemper:

1. The simplest method: use a canine distemper test paper to check whether the dog has canine distemper.

2. Measure body temperature to see if there is bidirectional fever: Usually canine distemper is no different from a common cold at the beginning. Check the dog's temperature every six hours to see if it has a fever in the morning and evening and is better at noon. An increase in body temperature in the morning and evening is an obvious characteristic of canine distemper.

3. Cracked paw pads and nose: Many dogs in the early stages of canine distemper have this condition, which is very different from a cold.

4. Increased secretions from the nose and eyes: Although colds can cause runny noses and tears, the sticky secretions are not that much. People with canine distemper have so much secretions around their eyes that they can even cause irritation. Sticky eyes are also obviously different from a cold.
