Symptoms of canine distemper in Alaska

1. In the early stages of canine distemper infection in Alaskan Malamutes, the symptoms are very similar to those of a cold. At this time, you can measure the dog's temperature every 6 hours (note that it starts in the morning), and observe whether the fever will be better in the morning and evening, and it will be slightly better at noon. Parents, please note that an increase in body temperature in the morning and evening is an obvious characteristic of canine distemper. If the observed results are that the dog's body temperature improves in the morning and evening, and the height rises at noon, then you must pay attention. It is very likely that it is canine distemper.
2. Alaskan Malamutes infected with canine distemper will have dry and cracked paw pads and noses. Note that dogs will also have similar symptoms when they have a cold or fever. Therefore, when an Alaskan Malamute has this disease, as a parent, you must not ignore it.
3. The secretions from the nose and eyes of Alaskan Malamutes will increase abnormally. Note that this is different from the tears and nasal discharge that dogs usually leave (cold). Alaskan Malamutes infected with canine distemper will have a lot of secretions around their eyes, and may even glue their eyes shut.
