Is it possible for a dog to get the Distemper disease a few weeks after vaccination?


Posted by himurax13

My brother and I rescued a Cardigan Welsh Corgi form a shelter a little over a month ago. After doing some research, many of the symptoms she is showing point towards Canine Distemper.

 

Here is a quick list of her symptoms:

 

Seizures in the cranial area that looks like hiccups but never stop

The teeth seem to be clacking together during the seizures

Constant tension of the muscles that keep the jaw closed.

Depression/Lethargy

Lack of coordination

Hardening of the foot pads

Weakness, incredibly difficult time trying to clear a 4 inch obstacle or leaving her bed.

 

Now the following symptoms may be due to her inability to eat and drink:

Decreased appetite

Loss of 1.5 pounds

Dry nose for over a week

One Bowel movement every other day or less

Sleeps most of the day

Slight fever
