Can canine distemper be transmitted to humans? Explained clearly in one article

Recently, it has been the peak season for canine distemper, and many pet hospitals receive and treat a dozen cases every day, with some treating as many as twenty-some canine distemper patients. Therefore, experts remind pet owners to get their pet dogs vaccinated as soon as possible.

Wei Rensheng of the pet hospital said: "Recently, the number of dogs with canine distemper admitted to pet hospitals has increased, which is related to the increase in dog walking after temperatures rose. The reason is that after dogs defecate and urinate indiscriminately, their excrement causes cross-infection. Also, many citizens only give their pet dogs rabies vaccines, but not infectious disease vaccines." According to relevant information, the probability of curing canine distemper is not high, especially in the middle and late stages, when it is even more difficult. Wei Rensheng also said: "If a pet dog has not been vaccinated and symptoms resembling a cold appear, it is recommended that you quickly take it to a pet hospital for treatment."

So how should canine distemper be prevented? Experts suggest, first, pet dogs should be vaccinated, and when walking dogs, do not let pet dogs defecate and urinate indiscriminately outside, to prevent cross-infection. If there is a pet dog nearby that has already become ill, it is recommended that you adopt emergency immunization and administer recombinant interferon to the dog -- Min Yu yu Xiaoyang.

Also, canine distemper will not be transmitted to humans, so you do not need to worry about this. Canine distemper is caused by canine distemper virus infection, and it is a highly contagious infectious disease. This disease is complex and has a high mortality rate, and it is also the number one infectious disease harming dogs.
