Symptoms of a dog cold:
It is very common for dogs to catch a cold in the winter, which may be related to the cold wind in winter, sleeping in the cold season, raining, and not drying after bathing. The main symptoms of a dog cold include lack of energy, loss of appetite, watery eyes, cough, and runny nose. Also, if a dog has the flu, which is caused by a virus, it will have a high fever in addition to the symptoms of a cold.
Symptoms of canine distemper:
In the early stages of canine distemper, dogs may also experience a rise in body temperature high, sneezing, tearing, and runny nose. Sometimes due to inexperience or poor judgment, these serious infectious diseases can easily be treated as the common cold.
What is the difference between canine distemper and a cold?
The difference between a dog’s cold and canine distemper is: When infected with the canine distemper virus, dogs often secrete thick white or yellow secretions from their eyes and nose, accompanied by central nervous system symptoms such as seizures, behavioral changes, weakness, and motor incoordination.
What if my dog has canine distemper?
Canine distemper, also known as canine distemper Fever, or cannabis disease, is a severe and contagious viral disease that currently has no cure. It can affect the dog’s respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems. Canine distemper virus is highly contagious and lethal and can be transmitted to other dogs through saliva, urine, and feces. Mortality in adult dogs with the disease exceeds 50%, and in puppies, it is even higher, up to 80%. Therefore, if the diagnosis is dog distemper, the only way to stabilize the situation is through drugs, and there is no way to cure it.
