"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.
No, cats cannot get distemper from dogs. Canine distemper virus specifically infects dogs and other members of the Canidae family, and does not affect cats. Cats are at risk for other diseases such as feline distemper (panleukopenia) or feline leukemia virus, but not distemper from dogs.
Canine distemper virus was discovered by Dr. A.D. Lestrade in 1905.
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.
Definitely not,hope i helped.
Yes, there is no specific cure for distemper, a viral disease that affects animals. Treatment focuses on supportive care to manage symptoms and boost the immune system. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent distemper in animals.
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 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.
Canine distemper is not contagious to 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.
