Canine Distemper. Canine Distemper (distemper or CDV) is a virus that affects a dogâs respiratory, stomach, intestines and central nervous systems. Symptoms often include fever, sneezing, coughing, depression, lack of appetite, and nose and eye discharge, diarrhea and vomiting may also occur.
Supportive care is the only treatment for canine distemper. Vaccination of susceptible domestic animals and the removal of animal carcasses can help to control outbreaks. The reduction of wild carnivore populations can also help to decrease the availability of potential hosts. Feline distemper is caused by a parvovirus. It is a highly contagious disease that affects members of the Felidae, Procyonidae, and Mustelidae families. Susceptible animals include, but are not limited to, domestic cats, bobcats, ferrets, weasels, skunks, and raccoons.
