  3. 1 NASAL DISCHARGE The Initial signs include nasal discharge, coughing, and watery eyes. Fever is also a common sign during the early stage of the disease.

  4. 2 GASTROINTESTINAL DIFFICULTIES The virus attacks the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. The affected pet is lethargic, and the onset of symptoms of pneumonia also can be associated with distemper.

  5. 3 MUSCLE TWITCHING When the virus courses through the nervous system, involuntary muscle twitching is seen in the affected pet. It led to symptoms like weakness and complete paralysis of hind limbs, followed by non- functionality of all limbs.

  6. 4 SEIZURES Seizure is a serious sign of canine distemper. As the disease progresses, seizures become more frequent. Along with it, you also may witness cracked/thickened skin and behavioral changes.

  7. 5 IMBALANCED MOVEMENTS The neurological signs of distemper lead to uncontrolled and uncoordinated movements. You may witness the affected pet's head tilted along with rapid eye movements.
