Is my dog really canine distemper?

This is written by a netizen. Have a look, I hope I can help you! Are you in Beijing? If so, I'll introduce you to a hospital I trust! My QQ: 93955726

When you read this article, you may have seen it elsewhere before, but this article was edited and rewritten for myself! First of all, let me talk about medical records!

My tiger tiger is a squirrel puppy. It took more than two months to bring it home from the dog market, and it began to be a "disaster" two days after coming back (everyone must pay attention to the dogs bought in the dog market, which are generally not easy to see during the incubation period of canine distemper)! Canine distemper broke out, but injections and infusions in the hospital became more and more severe. At one time, there was a stomach twitch and a "nod"! I was cruel, so I took it home to treat myself. After all, I was born in a medical university and worked as a doctor for two years. I use my experience and medicine to treat dogs. After more than a week of hard treatment, the tribal tiger finally recovered without any sequelae (early treatment). Now share my experience with dog lovers, hoping to help dogs suffering from this disease now and in the future.

Let's talk about the symptoms first: at first, HuHu had a cough (after coughing a few times in a low voice, he coughed with his mouth open and felt that he couldn't cough up phlegm), a runny nose, and a lot of chewing gum, but he was in good spirits and had a strong appetite (which paralyzed the owner and thought that the dog had caught a cold because it was cold or had a bath). After two days, I found that Huhu's cough was aggravated, especially in the morning and evening, and her appetite was not bad. The dog was immediately sent to the pet hospital. The doctor said it was a cold and gave him an injection (ofloxacin combined with ampicillin as antibiotics, vitamin C and glucose, and two injections seemed to be ribavirin) twice a day.

But the next day, I found that the tribal tiger was very serious, completely listless, with a runny nose, turbid eye secretions, decreased appetite, still a bad cough and a slight twitch in the stomach. I went to the hospital immediately, and the doctor said it was very serious, typical of canine distemper (other treatments have not changed, and one injection looks like an expired immune serum). After coming back, I vomited again, had no appetite at all, refused to drink water, my stomach swelled, my stomach twitched more frequently, and my chest twitched. My girlfriend blames all this on going to the hospital (I don't share her common sense, this is the process of disease development). She almost wants to give up, thinking that there is little hope of cure and the death rate of canine distemper is high. Finally, I discussed my own treatment and worked hard! Fortunately, I am a doctor and have seen many people's illnesses. There is no way to treat people.

Treatment plan: 1, high-dose antivirus: I use ribavirin or ribavirin, but I prefer the former, subcutaneous injection (be careful to inject the dog's neck skin), one tablet (2ml) at a time, twice a day, without dilution.

2. High-dose anti-inflammatory: I chose the third generation of cefotaxime sodium. Of course, I can also choose others. Considering the economic factors, this one is cheaper. Subcutaneous injection: dissolve 1g powder injection in 4ml sterilized water for injection, and inject half of it once, twice a day.

3. Enhance immunity: serum, immunoglobulin, monoclonal antibody and thymosin can be selected if conditions are good. Considering the economic reasons, I chose Qi Zhen Fuzheng Capsule (or Qi Zhen Fuzheng Granule), which is composed of Radix Astragali and Fructus Ligustri Lucidi. Help cancer and weak patients to enhance their resistance, and the effect is very good. If capsules are used, take two capsules once or twice a day, take out the contents of the capsules and dilute them with warm water; If granules are used, divide a packet into two parts and dilute with warm water. Dogs generally don't eat and need to pour, but be careful not to cause cough.

4. Cough and asthma: Traditional Chinese medicine should be chosen, but not too much. It is recommended to use Chuanbei Ba Pu cough syrup three times a day, as appropriate.

5, shun qi to stop vomiting: Huoxiang Zhengqi water (don't use Huoxiang Zhengqi water, it is too bitter and irritates the gastrointestinal tract of dogs), a small amount can be used twice a day, and after vomiting, stop using Qingkailing oral liquid twice a day, one capsule each time.

6, other symptomatic treatment: no appetite, porridge (mixed vegetables, minced meat, this time it is best not to put pork liver, it should be thin, poured into the dog's mouth. If you can't eat or throw up after eating, you will only have infusion (inosine+10% glucose+vitamin C), but the key depends on whether you have infusion level. You can ask me then, hehe.

Therapeutic observation:

The first day: the condition continues to deteriorate, no spirit, no appetite; There is a small amount of turbid secretions in the eyes, purulent nose, dry nose, a little hard, a little vomiting, abdominal high-frequency convulsions, meaningless "nodding", and my heart beats faster. I touched it, at least twice as fast as usual. Typical abdominal breathing, no spasm in limbs, but the lower limbs obviously feel weak and the foot pads are not hard.

The next day: the purulent nose disappeared, but other symptoms were still obvious. I sleep every day. Although there is less eye secretion, the left eye is slightly swollen and looks smaller than the right eye. Take a long horizontal rest.

The third day: a little better is that you can eat a little by yourself. Nothing else has improved.

Day 4: After sitting for a long time, I was more active outside than indoors after going out, but I was panting and tired after moving for a while.

The fifth day: a small amount of clear nose appeared, but my spirit was better. I felt my stomach twitching and nodded a little.

Day 6: I have more outdoor activities, my eyes are not swollen and there is no secretion, and my nose is wetter than before, but the activity lasts for a short time.

On the seventh day: the response to the owner's cry increased, abdominal convulsions and nodding stopped, appetite increased, but the heartbeat was still fast, and abdominal breathing was carried out.

Day 8: My heart began to slow down and I felt like I was relieved. It is very active outdoors, and its response to the surrounding environment has basically recovered to the pre-illness, and its appetite has gradually returned to its original level.

Day 9: I began to be active indoors, with strong limbs, moist nose, strong appetite, obvious response to the master's call, gentle and strong heartbeat, disappearance of abdominal breathing and basic recovery. So, my girlfriend began to worship me from now on, and my position at home rose linearly, equal to Hu Hu.

Precautions:

1, antibiotics cannot be used all the time. If you stop using them for three or two days, you can stick to antivirus.

2. Drugs that enhance immunity must be used in large doses.

3. Encourage the puppy and don't scold it. At this time, he is trying to fight the disease himself (his girlfriend called him when he was weak, and he struggled to stand up and respond to his master's call, which made people cry)

4, early vigilance, early treatment, don't give up easily until the last moment.
