How is canine distemper diagnosed and treated? Veterinarians typically diagnose canine distemper through a combination of clinical signs and laboratory testing. There is no cure, and no antiviral drugs have been approved to combat the infection. This is why vaccination is so important.
Their recommendations state that, following an appropriate initial vaccination protocol, the FVRCP (distemper/respiratory virus) vaccine need only be given every 3 years at most.
If cats do not receive their shots during kittenhood, they will most likely contract feline calicivirus, rabies, feline distemper, feline viral rhinotracheitis, feline leukemia, chlamydia, and kennel cough.貓瘟
We recommend keeping your cat up to date on their vaccinations throughout their life. While a 12-year-old cat isn't as susceptible to certain illnesses as a 12-week-old kitten because of the antibodies they've developed throughout their life, the risk is still there.

Coughing is the most common symptom. They usually develop fever and discharge from the eyes and / or nose. The disease can also cause disorientation, tremors, twitches and seizures. Infected animals are vulnerable to catching more infections, such as bacterial pneumonia.
Some pet owners assume that if their cats live indoors only, there is no need to vaccinate them against distemper. However, this is not the case.
