Canine distemper is a highly contagious viral disease that typically affects a dog’s respiratory, digestive and nervous systems. The following are the symptoms that may appear in the early stages of canine distemper in puppies:
1. Fever: Puppies may have symptoms of fever, and their body temperature may exceed 39 degrees.
2. Eye problems: Canine distemper virus can cause inflammation of the conjunctiva, causing eye redness, swelling, tearing and other symptoms.
3. Respiratory symptoms: Viruses can cause upper respiratory tract infections such as trachea and bronchitis, causing symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and runny nose in puppies.
4. Digestive system symptoms: Puppies may have digestive system symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
5. Skin problems: Canine distemper virus can also damage the puppy’s skin, causing skin inflammation, hair loss and other symptoms.
It should be noted that these symptoms are not specific to canine distemper virus infection and may also be caused by other diseases. If your puppy shows the above symptoms, please take it to the veterinarian for examination and treatment in time, and get dog vaccinations to avoid infection with canine distemper and other diseases.
