How long should interferon be given for canine distemper?

Treating a dog with distemper generally needs interferon for 3-7 days, with the exact length set by the dog’s condition and symptoms. Besides antiviral drugs like interferon and distemper-inhibiting protein, the dog needs other supportive and symptomatic care to ease signs, plus more nutrition to raise resistance. Distemper cured earlier has a higher rate, so if the dog is infected, take it to a vet promptly.
