Canine distemper is a very terrible viral disease. If the puppies get canine distemper, the mortality will be more than 80%. If adult dogs get canine distemper, the mortality rate will be more than 50%. In the face of such a terrible disease, prevention is the most important in daily life. So if you have friends who raise dogs at home, you must learn to test your dogs for canine distemper. Early detection and early treatment can reduce the probability of dog death, so how to test canine distemper?

At present, the most common, accurate, convenient and fast detection method in daily life is test paper detection. The principle of detecting canine distemper with test paper is to detect whether canine distemper antigen is contained in dog eye secretion, saliva, blood and feces. First, we should prepare the tested object to be tested, that is, any object mentioned above, and then dilute the object in the test tube. Then drop the diluted tested object on the reaction plate with a dropper. We must pay attention that we cannot put the reaction plate in a humid environment, otherwise the detection results will be invalid. After standing for 10 minutes, we can see the test results.

There are two display lines on the reaction board, one is C line and the other is t line. After 10 minutes, if only the C line on the reaction board shows red or purple, it proves that the dog is not infected with canine distemper. If the C line and t line on the reaction board show red or purple, it indicates that the dog has canine distemper. In another case, if neither line C nor line t shows red or purple, it proves that the test failed. It may be our previous improper operation or the product itself. After getting the test results, many people will judge the time when dogs get canine distemper according to the depth of red and purple in the C line. In fact, this judgment method is very incorrect. Generally speaking, the results detected with test paper are scientifically based and reliable.

If the dog owner is really worried, he can also take the dog to a special hospital for professional diagnosis and treatment. In addition, we should also prepare more test papers for canine distemper at home and test dogs regularly. This can better prevent dogs from getting canine distemper.
