Dogs that have strong immune system can fight the infection brought about by canine distemper quickly. About half of these dogs infected with the canine distemper virus will show symptoms.
Often, the first signs of your dog having canine distemper infection include fever, runny nose and eye discharge. These respiratory symptoms typically show within 24 hours of infection. Those dogs with weak immune systems develop pneumonia. Most dogs with this virus have no appetite. Some dogs vomit and have diarrhea.
