How to treat canine distemper

Once a dog is diagnosed with the disease, the owner needs to keep them in isolation and thoroughly disinfect the contaminated environment. Although the cure rate of canine distemper is very low, we can effectively prevent it by vaccinating dogs, so owners must not forget to vaccinate their dogs. Regular vaccination, timely isolation and treatment, timely detection of sick dogs, early isolation and treatment, and prevention of secondary infections are the keys to improving the cure rate and reducing mortality. At the same time, disinfection should be strengthened and various disinfectants should be used in kennels and sports grounds to effectively prevent canine distemper. The first is to apply specific hyperimmune serum as early as possible, which is an effective measure to eliminate viruses in the body. It can be done once a day, or once in the morning and afternoon, depending on the condition. The second is to use antibiotics to control secondary infections. The third is symptomatic treatment. Pet dogs are small, and continuous vomiting and loose stools can cause dehydration. If fluids are not replenished in time, it will be life-threatening. Timely cardiac stimulation and fluid replenishment can maintain the nutrients needed for body metabolism and maintain acid-base balance and electrolyte balance. Experience shows that early treatment has a higher success rate, while delayed treatment (treatment on the third day after onset) has a lower success rate.

Treatment methods of dog plague

The first stage: emergency treatment stage.

It is suitable for the early and middle stages of canine distemper (except for neurological symptoms). On the first or second day, high immune serum should be administered at 1 ml per kilogram of body weight, once in the morning, noon and evening. On the third day, take high-immune serum, once in the morning and once in the evening. On the first to third days, give ampicillin, one dose in the morning and one dose in the evening. Bupleurum injection is given once in the morning and evening, and human interferon is injected once a day. On the fourth and fifth days, use monoclonal antibody once in the morning, noon and evening. On the sixth day, use monoclonal antibody once in the morning and once in the evening. On the 4th to 6th day, cephalosporin injection will be injected once in the morning and evening, Antonin will be injected once in the morning and evening, and dexamethasone will be injected once a day (pay attention to the monoclonal antibody reaction). On the seventh and eighth days, immune globulin is injected once in the morning, noon and evening, and on the ninth day, once in the morning and evening. On the three days from 7 to 9, gentamicin was injected once in the morning and once in the evening, and ribavirin was injected once in the morning and evening. The purpose of the emergency treatment phase is to eliminate and reduce canine distemper symptoms. Keep body temperature around 39.5 degrees Celsius. (When symptoms occur, prescribe the right medicine. For example, give oxytetracycline for diarrhea. For cough, give Baipu cough tablets, etc.)

The second stage: the symptom control stage.

On the tenth day, take Qingkailing capsules orally (if you have already used intravenous drip, no need to take them by mouth) and Yinqiao Jiedu tablets. On the 11th to 12th day, Dog 2 Lianwang was injected once in the morning and evening, Bupleurum injection was injected in the morning and evening (if there was already a fever), and clindamycin was injected in the morning and evening. On days 13-14, polyclonal antibodies were injected once in the morning and once in the evening, lincomycin was injected once in the morning and evening, ribavirin was injected once in the morning and evening, and dexamethasone was injected once daily. On days 15-16, immunoglobulin is injected once in the morning and once in the evening. Calithromycin is injected once in the morning and evening, and ribavirin is injected once in the morning and evening. On days 17-18, dogs and cats were injected with Xilaile (compound gentamicin), one tube each in the morning and evening, interfering virus was injected once a day, and Qingkailing capsules were taken orally according to the instructions. No. 19On the same day, one dose of monoclonal antibody, one dose of dexamethasone, one dose of Xilaile for dogs and cats in the morning and evening, and one dose of interfering toxin were injected. On the 20th day, inject one tube of hyperimmune serum, one tube of Bupleurum and one tube of Calinomycin in the morning and evening. (Qingda is only used for dogs with diarrhea) Note: Each medicine is basically used for three days to prevent dogs from developing drug resistance.

The third stage: the drug can be stopped for observation.

After two stages of treatment, that is, days 21-22, and achieving the medical effect I mentioned, combined with your careful observation of the dog, you can proceed to the third stage. This stage takes approximately 30 days. Serum cross-injection, once a day. After 15 days, you can take it once every 2 days. Antibiotics need to be injected every day. Combined with antipyretic and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine. At this stage, special attention should be paid to the false recovery period, that is, when the body temperature and diet are normal and the owner is relaxed, the result will be repeated, which is particularly difficult to treat at this time. It must be noted that everything is normal for more than 15 days before treatment can be stopped, indicating the end of treatment.

Summary

Summer is the period of high incidence of canine distemper. Once distemper occurs, it is necessary to diagnose it in time and control the disease quickly. In terms of treatment, try to choose the appropriate treatment method according to the condition of your sick dog. The above is the control plan provided for your reference. When treating sick dogs, pay attention to allowing the sick dogs to rest in a comfortable and quiet environment, and frequently wipe the dog's eye corners and nasal secretions. During the entire treatment process, the dog's condition must be constantly observed to see if it is getting better. If it improves, continue to treat according to the course of treatment. If it worsens, the treatment plan must be adjusted in time. In addition, when using medicine, do not mix it randomly. It is recommended to use it under the guidance of a pet doctor in terms of dosage and mix. For dogs that are not sick, preventive work should be done in terms of feeding management and vaccine prevention during daily breeding. Especially when there is disease in the surroundings, vaccination should be carried out in a timely manner.
