Smudge is on his way to get his Distemper vaccination! Why is this important?

With recent cases locally, it is important that all pet owners know the importance of the Distemper vaccination and take necessary precautions to keep all of our pets safe!

Distemper is a severe and contagious virus that attacks a dog's respiratory and nervous systems. All dogs are at risk of Canine Distemper, but risks are increased in young puppies and dogs who have not been vaccinated. Canine Distemper is an air-borne virus that may be spread through barking, sneezing, or coughing; it may also be spread through shared food or water bowls. Distemper can also affect wild animals that your pet may come in contact with. Canine Distemper can be contagious for several months

Some signs of Canine Distemper include
- Fever
- Discharge from eyes and nose
- Loss of appetite
- Vomiting
- Lethargy
- Diarrhea

As the virus spreads to the nervous system, symptoms may worsen and include
- Head shaking
- Confusion
- Walking in circles
- Lack of coordination
- Seizures
- Chewing movements/drooling
- Paralysis
- Head tilt

If your dog has any of these symptoms, you should contact your veterinarian immediately. Canine Distemper is a serious disease, 1 in 2 dogs may die from the infection (avma.org). Dogs that survive may have a lifetime of permanent neurological signs.

The best way to prevent Canine Distemper is through vaccination. The Distemper vaccine is included in a combination vaccine that also prevents Adenovirus, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza! All of which are very important to protect your pets!

Puppies should be vaccinated at the age of 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 16 weeks old; then vaccinations should be boostered annually (once a year)! It is important that the last vaccination as a puppy is given at or after 16 weeks of age to ensure their mother’s immunity has worn off and your puppy has built up their own immunity to the virus!

If you have any questions about Canine Distemper or any other diseases, feel free to reach out to us at Broadway Veterinary Hospital. Our phone number is 540-896-5155.

This sweet boy had a PRP injection today 💉🐾💙

PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma

An advanced orthopedic care for canine patients. PRP is blood that is taken from the patient and is processed using centrifugation. The target of the PRP procedure is to introduce anabolic growth factors to the injured tissues in the joint. This promotes healing and decreases inflammation. This procedure is most commonly performed on knee joints.

Common signs that your pet may benefit from the PRP injection:
- Intermittent lameness
- Favoring one leg
- Licking at a certain joint
- Lameness after exercise
- Reluctant to play or take walks

Remember with this hot weather, keep an eye on your pets and limit their time in the heat!

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to get your pet to a cool / shaded area and offer cool (not cold) water. Get to a veterinarian as soon as possible for further treatment and stabilization if needed.
