Duramune max 5

Canine distemper is caused by a paramyxovirus closely related to the viruses of measles and rinderpest. This virsus is sensitive to lipid solvents and most disinfectants and is relatively unstable outside the host. Some infected dogs may carry the virus for several months.

Distemper should be considered in the diagnosis of any febrile condition in puppies with multisystemic manifestations. Distemper is sometimes confused with other systemis infections such as leptospirosis, infectious canine hepatitis, or Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Treatments are directed at limiting secondary bacterial invasion, supporting fluid balance, and controlling nervous manifestations. Antibiotics, balanced electrolyte solutions, parenteral nutrition, dietary supplements, antipyretics, nasal preparations, analgesics, and anticonvulsants are used.

Successful immunization of pups with canine distemper modified live virus MLV vaccines depends on the lack of interference by maternal antibody. To overcome this barrier, pups are vaccinated with MLV vaccine when 6 wk old and at 2- to 4-wk intervals until 16 wk old. Measles virus induces immunity to canine distemper virus in the presence of relatively greater levels of maternal
distemper antibody. An MLV measles vaccine and a combination of MLV measles and MLV canine distemper vaccine are available. Measles vaccines must be administered IM. Pups 6-7 wk old should receive the measles or combination vaccine and at least 2 more doses of MLV distemper vaccine when 12-16 wk old. Many varieties of attenuated distemper vaccine are available and should be used according to manufacturers’ directions.
