"Equine distemper" is actually infection with Streptococcus equi which causes Strangles. Prevention of Strangles involves minimizing contact with horses or items that have been in contact with horses that have Strangles, have been exposed to Strangles or have recovered from Strangles recently. Quarantine of horses coming into a facility also helps to prevent Strangles by allowing time to ensure that the new horse is disease free before exposing horses to it. Cleaning and disinfecting all buckets, feeders, bridles, etc prior to sharing them between horses is another way to reduce the spread of disease. There are vaccines against Strangles as well, but they are not highly effective and have higher risk of adverse reactions associated with them so they are only recommended for horses in situations where there is a high risk of exposure to Strangles.
There is no definitive cure, however caught soon enough and under the guidance of a good vet and literally round the clock care and medication it is possible to cure this horrible illness.
Tincture of Time....and luck. Once the animal is symptomatic treatment is designed to support the body and try to make the animal comfortable until the body has time
to recover.
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.

Distemper in cattle is caused by a virus. The virus is usually spread from animal to animal, the virus can originate in other animals and spread to cattle.

A distemper shot prevents your cat from getting a virus that could kill them. Feline distemper causes respiratory infection, gastrointestinal infection, and can affect the central nervous system. The shot keeps them protected from the virus which spreads easily.
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).
can a person get distemper
I have not heard of goats getting distemper. Avian distemper is Newcastle disease. Dogs get canine distemper which can kill them. Equine distemper is strangles Feline distemper is feline panleukopaenia.
Yes, distemper is a virus. If the animal is vaccinated, it will not contract distemper.
canine distemper
Distemper - band - was created in 1989.
Canine distemper can infect humans. When it infects humans it is known as Paget's disease. It increases the production of osteoclasts. Distemper in dogs will not produce distemper in humans, it is a different disease in humans.
No; feline distemper is a completely different virus from canine distemper. Although some larger species from the cat family (e.g. lions) can be infected by canine distemper virus.
Distemper is a serious viral illness that affects dogs and cats. In horses, distemper is a contagious respiratory infection caused by a bacteria. Veterinarians recommend the routine inoculation of pets against distemper.
Bordetella (a coccobacillius) and distemper (a paramyxovirus) are different disease organisms so no.
Canine distemper can infect humans. When it infects humans it is known as Paget's disease. It increases the production of osteoclasts. Distemper in dogs will not produce distemper in humans, it is a different disease in humans.
Canine distemper is a disease caused by canine distemper viruses, an infection of the gastrointestinal tract, which causes high fever, watery discharge, vomiting, diarrhoea, seizures, and paralysis.
