This is our third Canine Distemper case of the week.
Please take care!
💡 A little reminder:
- Common signs are: coughing, eye discharge, cracked skin, fever, weakness, no appetite, or seizures
- Distemper is airborne. Which is why even indoor dogs can still get the disease especially if the sick dog is just outside the near fence
- Distemper is highly fatal. Medicine given during the disease can help reduce signs such as the coughigh and seizures, but only if possible. (Some are just too severe that medical support doesn’t help at all.) 💔
- Thankfully, updated and appropriate vaccination is ALMOST 100% protective.
- Consults of Distemper-suspect cases are still accepted, but outside to protect our other healthy patients, too.
Don’t hesitate to ask your vet team if you have any concerns. 🙏🏻
