First of all! Treat canine distemper as a cold, don't cry easily, thinking that the dog will die. It's not that terrible. Generally, canine distemper virus itself doesn't work very well, and only gives priority to fever. Other symptoms are caused by virus infection, which leads to fever and decreased immunity. Complications are not directly caused by canine distemper virus, and the virus will die after damaging the brain nerve in the later stage.
Second, the reason for the high mortality rate is that 90% of serum and monoclonal antibodies on the market are fakes, and many sera bought for thousands of dollars are simply anti-inflammatory drugs. . . Baxter is recommended for domestic monoclonal antibodies and serum. I only know that this company has a regular batch number.
Third, as long as the dog can eat without vomiting or diarrhea, try to let it eat! Eating is always much better than hanging water. Too much intravenous drip will kill dogs, especially respiratory canine distemper. Excessive intravenous drip can easily lead to pulmonary edema and death on the spot! No food? Ok, fill the baby rice noodles with a syringe three times a day.
Fourth, there are only the following ways to die of canine distemper: most dogs are starved to death (do not eat or drink), dehydrated and exhausted. The infection was too serious, the internal organs failed, the virus invaded the brain and died. Misdiagnosis and mistreatment, taking the wrong medicine, and dying. In fact, a fever won't kill you, but when you have a fever, your body will consume a lot of water, especially water. If you dry it, you will die. Vomiting, diarrhea and so on. It is also a lot of dehydration. .
Know that there are only so many ways to die of canine distemper, and then do the opposite to ensure that dogs don't die of those kinds, ok? If you starve to death, you will be forced to eat. If infected, antiviral and antibacterial drugs will be given. Needless to say, you should either find a good doctor or study hard by yourself.
6. Don't take antipyretics easily. Fever is a self-protection measure for the body against bacteria and viruses. When the temperature rises, the activities of various proteases and white blood cells in the body will increase to fight the virus. Of course, this will consume too much nutrition and water. . . Only when the high fever persists should the fever go down, otherwise the dog should not die as long as it is supplemented with enough nutrition and water.
Seven, don't use drugs too miscellaneous, many people think that Chinese medicine can be used indiscriminately with little side effects. In fact, canine distemper belongs to heat toxin, which belongs to fever in traditional Chinese medicine. Most of the drugs used are bitter cold drugs. In the bitter cold injury, the stimulation to the stomach is greater. If you feed too much Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials, the dog will be unable to eat or even have diarrhea. Of course, western medicine should not be excessive. Antibiotics can also stimulate the stomach. If you take too much, you won't eat, and you may even be anemic. . . Banlangen is one of the essential drugs, but how much Chinese medicine does Banlangen know? Isatis indigotica is cold and bitter in nature, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and entering the lungs and intestines. It can be seen at a glance, and it is very useful for respiratory virus symptoms.
Eight, canine distemper is a viral disease, because the virus can not be completely eliminated in animals, and now the only thing in the world that can kill and neutralize the virus is antibodies. . . No matter what medicine you use, you have to rely on the dog's own immune system to produce antibodies against the virus to gain recovery and immunity, and the production of antibodies takes 2 1 day in a healthy state. . . Because you are ill, it will take longer, so it will take at least one month to recover from canine distemper even if there are no symptoms. During this period, the illness is 100% repeated, don't worry! Don't think that your dog is fine today, but it will be different if it is heavy tomorrow. So fighting against canine distemper virus is a war of attrition. Either you die or I die, see who dies first.
Nine nonsense, now talk about medication.
Monoclonal antibody or serum is necessary, remember to buy a regular batch number, and don't trust the garbage recommended by the pet doctor. Then look down.
Symptoms of respiratory infection, such as cough, diarrhea with amoxicillin and Radix Isatidis, diarrhea with Liandan Xiaoyan capsule, vomiting with Cornus officinalis, please consult a pharmacist for usage and dosage, depending on the weight and age of the dog. The general adult dose is used for large and medium-sized adult dogs, and the puppies are halved or even reduced to one third. Pay attention to clearing away heat and toxic materials and suffering from cold. If necessary, take a few big red dates and boil them into paste, and pour a little before feeding, which can protect the stomach gas, but not too much. I won't talk about antipyretics, because in fact, in my opinion, if you can't return them, try not to return them indiscriminately. . . Antiviral drugs and antibiotic eye drops are used alternately. During the period, sick dogs must drink water to eat, and drinking water is more important! Of course, if you really have no confidence in Chinese medicine, such as diarrhea, vomiting and fever, you can use some western medicine, but don't use too much. After all, the side effects are really great. Diarrhea and vomiting must be stopped and put in the first place! Those who die of stomach qi will die!
Don't think that giving antelope horn capsules or angong Niuhuang pills every day can prevent convulsions. That's an intention. In fact, Chinese medicine has its own certificate. It's no use giving these drugs when it's not smoking. If you want it not to smoke, you should take good care of it, persist in delaying the virus and prevent it from invading your nerves.
Dogs with canine distemper are very likely to be infected with dermatoses such as mites and fungi. If you take ivermectin, the effect is good, but if the dog is weak, it is recommended not to take it. It's poisonous, and I'm afraid the dog can't stand it. Just scrub it with Chinese medicine. The prescription is as follows (I prescribed it myself, hehe, I am a Chinese medicine practitioner).
Kushen 25G Kochia scoparia 25G Stemona 30G Atractylodes 25G Cortex Phellodendri 25G, don't let the dog lick it. If it is troublesome or inconvenient to decoct traditional Chinese medicine, go to the drugstore to buy a bottle of compound Sophora flavescens lotion.
If you are foaming at the mouth because of a high fever, use Xiaoerqizhen Pill, which is useful, but not much worse than Angong. As for other immunoglobulins, calcium tablets, 2 1 gemcitabine and the like, with all due respect, the functions of these things are auxiliary and not necessary, mainly depending on whether your dog can eat them. If he can eat, you can give nutritious food, and the effect is better than these. You can eat and drink to live! Of course, it doesn't matter if you have to use it, but it is by no means better than nothing. If your dog can't even eat, it's no use using it.
It's important to keep warm, but don't give a quilt on a hot day. This disease is toxic by heat. Dogs are not very afraid of cold, only slightly. Only when they catch cold, catch cold, catch cold, will they be very afraid of the cold. The environment must be moderate in temperature, sanitary and well ventilated.
To treat canine distemper as the following goal.
30 days, let the dog not starve to death or die of thirst.
Within 30 days, try to control the infection and slow down the disease.
Within 30 days, give the dog enough nutritional care and encouragement so that it doesn't want to die! Make it want to live!
Within 30 days, you have to fight to the death with the dog without being exhausted!
Ha ha. . Yes. You are sure to beat the disease.
I hope my answer can help you.
