Signs of canine distemper include eye discharge, fever, nasal discharge, coughing, reduced appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting. As the disease progresses, infected dogs could develop seizures, twitching, or paralysis, ACS officials said.
– City of San Antonio Animal Care Services officials say rates of a highly contagious and potentially deadly disease are on the rise in local dogs.
“Distemper is something that’s always in the community, unfortunately, because San Antonio historically has a low vaccination rate for pets. We see it year-round and it’s a real problem for shelters due to the large numbers of animals,” Norwood told KSAT. Signs of canine distemper include eye discharge, fever, nasal discharge, coughing, reduced appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting.
ACS officials said there are no medications that will kill the virus in already-infected dogs and puppies and that giving the vaccine to a dog that is already infected will not help the animal recover any quicker.
