Canine distemper treatment generally lasts 15-30 days, with the time depending on the dog’s constitution and severity. Distemper is an acute, highly contagious disease with high fatality, especially dangerous to puppies, over 80% of whom die from it. Adults are less at risk, but either way timely treatment raises the cure chance, so take the dog to a vet as soon as symptoms appear.
