Yes, if the adult dog was not vaccinated against distemper he can be infected by a sick puppy. If the adult dog has current vaccinations he is not at risk.
well my dog and cat get a long well but a mouse is not possible in less the dog is in the middle of course
There are some individual veterinarians who claim to have developed sera to cure canine distemper, but the veterinary field as a whole continues to maintain that once a dog is infected, the dog will eventually die of the disease. It is easily preventable by a vaccine developed in 1950, but it must be given when the dog is young, before it can catch the virus that causes the disease.
You can use distemper in a sentence in a few ways. One way is to use it in a sentence about a dog.
Which "dogs" are you referring to?
Rabies,distemper, parvo,and more.
going to a doctor
Dog cannot get distemper from cats. The viruses that cause dog and cat distemper are different from each other so cannot be passed between cats and dogs. There are wild animals such as raccoons that can get both canine and feline distemper and pass it to unvaccinated pets if attacked.
A puppy should get a series of three distemper shots - 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks. These should be boostered at 12 months, so by 16 months of age a dog should have had 4 distemper shots.
There is no such thing as a Human Distemper Virus. The Canine Distemper Virus is only transferable from dog to dog. It is, however, similar to the human virus the Measles. The only way the Canine Distemper Virus would ever transfer to humans is if the virus would be given "new instructions", and mutate. Antibiotics do not work on virus' so there is no cure to CDV, only prevention (by vaccination).
If your dog has had all their shots (important to keep their shots up-to-date) then it's doubtful. If you leave your dog at a kennel be sure they are up-to-date on "kennel cough" shots. Your dog could have allergies or nodules in his/her nose. It's best to take your dog to the vet to get a final diagnosis. Good luck Marcy Distemper is actually the doggy form of measles. While congestion is a symptom of distemper it is also a symptom of a myriad of other diseases including allergies. If it's a problem take your dog to a vet and heave it checked out.Dogs with distemper have a dark bloody dirrhea with an odor that is unforgettable. Just a congested nose does not signify distemper.
