Best Answer

yes! Canine distemper is an acute to subacute contagious febrile and often fatal disease with respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system (CNS) manifestations. The disease is caused by canine distemper virus (CDV), a morbillivirus in the Paramyxoviridae family. The disease affects many different species of the order Carnivora and the mortality rate varies greatly between species.

• Multisystemic--all lymphatic tissues, surface epithelium in the respiratory, alimentary, and urogenital tracts, and endocrine and exocrine glands

• Nervous--the skin and cells of gray and white matter in the CNS
