Generally, a dog passes the critical period about a week after distemper onset. Distemper is highly fatal, so at the first signs take it to a vet; early treatment improves the cure chance.
Treatment suppresses viral replication, controls secondary infection and addresses symptoms, using distemper monoclonal antibody, immune serum and interferon.
