What is the incubation period of canine distemper?

Canine distemper is a highly contagious infectious disease with an incubation period of 3-6 days. Most infected dogs have a high body temperature and height on the 4th day after infection. It mainly occurs in puppies. In the early stage, it will show biphasic fever, respiratory symptoms (serous or purulent secretions from the eyes and nose), and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract and digestive tract, and can also be infected through the conjunctival route. If the owner notices some symptoms, the sick dog should be isolated in time and taken to the hospital for diagnosis.
How to prevent canine distemper in dogs:
1. Make sure the dog’s living environment is clean and dry to avoid the growth of some viruses and bacteria.
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. The most effective way is to vaccinate regularly to prevent canine distemper.
