El distemper It is one of the most dangerous viral diseases that dogs can have, especially puppies and adults with low defenses. Knowing this, as soon as we see that our friend is down, that he does not want to eat or play, we will have to take him to the vet as soon as possible to prevent the disease from getting worse.
If your furry has been diagnosed, then we will tell you how to care for a dog with distemper so that you recover as soon as possible.
Distemper mainly attacks the respiratory tract, but also the intestines and the nervous system, so you have to be very aware of the dog to avoid upset. So, if we have a dog with this disease, we have to make sure that it has a good quality of life, and that we do everything we can so that its quality of life does not deteriorate.
One of the things we have to do is monitor your water intake. Dehydration is one of the worst symptoms you can have, so if you see that he does not want to drink, you will have to give him with a syringe without a needle, or give him chicken broth without bones or salt to drink.
Just as important as controlling the amount of water you drink is watching what you eat. To help you, it is highly recommended to give wet feed, which is softer and gives off a more intense aroma, which will encourage you to eat.
Another option is to give him the Yum Diet, which is nothing more than well-minced meat suitable for human consumption. As with canned food, it will be much easier to eat and digest. If you have been prescribed antibiotics, you can even 'hide' them between food. Surely he swallows it almost without realizing it 😉.
And finally, you should take it regularly to the vet to examine it. Take advantage of one of these visits to ask him about the B vitamins, which have a very positive effect on his muscles.
Give him a lot of love, and you will see how he recovers before you imagine. Cheer up.
