Specialist knowledge
Background to canine distemper (CDV)
Canine distemper, caused by the canine distemper virus (CDV), is a highly contagious viral disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems of dogs. Young dogs and unvaccinated animals are particularly at risk. Transmission occurs mainly through direct contact with body fluids of infected animals, such as saliva, urine or feces. Symptoms include nasal discharge, coughing, fever, vomiting, diarrhea and neurological disorders such as tremors or seizures.
Current developments
In recent years, more cases of distemper have been detected in wild animals in Germany. Studies show that the virus has been detected in wild carnivores such as foxes and martens, indicating a continued presence of the virus in the wildlife population and a potential risk to domestic dogs.
Prevention
The most effective protective measure against distemper is vaccination. The Standing Veterinary Vaccination Commission (StIKo Vet) recommends basic vaccination of puppies at the age of 8, 12 and 16 weeks, followed by a booster vaccination after 15 months. The vaccination should then be renewed every three years to ensure lasting protection. Dog owners should regularly check the vaccination status of their pets and ensure that all vaccinations are up to date.
In addition to vaccination, it is recommended to keep dogs away from potentially infected wild animals and avoid direct contact. In areas with known distemper outbreaks, dogs should be kept on a lead to prevent uncontrolled encounters with wild animals.
