When do the symptoms of rabies or canine distemper start showing in mongrels?
Poochu, Dog, Indie, Male
Dr. Tajunnisa M
Rabies is a deadliest disease of animals especially dogs. There are two forms, one is Dumb and the other is furious form. The dumb form comes with symptoms like hypersalivation, hyperasthesia and mainly a dropped jaw condition which is due to paralysis of tongue. The furious form is quite dangerous as an affected animal has the biting tendency which is most of the times is unprovoked. Hypersalivation and hyperasthesia is also seen in case of furious form.

Thank you ma'am. Please let me know about canine distemper.
Dr. Tajunnisa M
Canine distemper is a highly infectious, systemic, viral disease of dogs. Affected ones commonly exhibit systemic clinical signs like fever, lethargy and loss of appetite. The respiratory signs like nasal discharge, pneumonia are also seen. The GI signs include diarrhea variably followed by neurologic signs like muscle twitching, focal or generalized seizures, which may be seen as the last stage.
Dr. Tajunnisa M
Both are highly contagious diseases and the vaccination here plays an important role. Hence, it's advisable to get your pets vaccinated annually/routinely. The post bite anti rabies vaccination in animals is as important as in human beings. A dog bite, be it provoked or unprovoked should never be ignored.

The incubation period in case of rabies is said to be 3 to 10 days but it varies with the site of bite. The symptoms are shown up after the above said period.

Okay Ma'am.

The incubation period of Canine Distemper varies from 7 days to 1. 5 to 2 months, which depends on virus strain. Once the incubation period is over, the symptoms are shown by the affected animal.

I just came across the information that stairs are bad for puppies! The internet says that large breeds develop hip issues if they are introduced to stairs before twelve weeks. But father has been encouraging my puppy to climb up and down the stairs in our house from as early as 6 weeks!! There are days when my puppy takes three flights of stairs thrice! I’m really worried, is there anything I can do at this point to avoid such problems in future?
