Yes, a dog can potentially contract distemper from eating an infected mouse, as the virus can be present in the tissues of infected animals. However, distemper is primarily spread through respiratory secretions, such as saliva and respiratory droplets, rather than through ingestion. It's important for dogs to be vaccinated against distemper to prevent infection, as the disease can be severe and often fatal. If you suspect your dog has been exposed to the virus, consult a veterinarian immediately.

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.

The most effective cure for canine distemper is prevention through vaccination. Once a dog is infected, there is no specific cure, but supportive care such as fluids, antibiotics, and symptomatic treatment can help manage the symptoms and improve the dog's chances of recovery.
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.
No, dogs cannot get distemper by someone blowing into their face. Distemper is a contagious viral disease that spreads through contact with infected animals or their bodily fluids. It is not transmitted through blowing in a dog's face.
The canine distemper virus primarily affects a dog's respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems. It can cause symptoms such as coughing, nasal discharge, vomiting, and diarrhea, as well as neurological issues like seizures and tremors. The virus can also impact the skin, leading to the development of a characteristic rash. Overall, distemper is a severe and often fatal disease that can compromise multiple organ systems in infected dogs.
