Canine Distemper
Canine distemper virus
Juga dikenal sebagai: CDV Infection, Canine Distemper Virus Infection, Hard pad disease
Singkatnya
Canine distemper is a highly contagious, severe viral disease affecting dogs and ferrets. It attacks multiple body systems, including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems, often leading to irreversible neurological damage. Understanding its signs, diagnostic process, and the critical importance of vaccination is essential for every pet owner.

TL;DR. Infeksi virus sangat menular dan mengancam jiwa pada anjing dan feret, merusak saluran napas, pencernaan, dan saraf; sering menyisakan gejala neurologis permanen.
Penyakit sistemik berat dengan letargi nyata.
Apa itu?
Morbillivirus (CDV). Menyerang jaringan limfoid, saraf, dan epitel. Fase: limfopenia/demam, lalu saluran napas/GI/kulit/mata, sering SSP. Tidak ada antivirus yang menyembuhkan.
Penyebab dan faktor risiko
Aerosol dan cairan tubuh.
"CDV is shed in respiratory secretions for up to 90 days after infection. Initial replication of CDV is in lymphoid tissue, and viral destruction of lymphocytes results in lymphopenia and pyrexia."
Anak anjing tidak divaksin 6-12 minggu risiko tertinggi; feret hampir 100% fatal. Tanpa predisposisi ras.
Tanda
- Mioklonus (kardinal)
- Umum: demam, depresi, sekret hidung mukopurulen, batuk, muntah/diare, pustula, hiperkeratosis (hard pad), kejang, ataksia
- Kadang: uveitis, neuritis optik, KCS, hipoplasia enamel

Hiperkeratosis bantalan kaki klasik.
Diagnosis
CBC (limfopenia), radiografi toraks, sitologi konjungtiva, RT-PCR (standar emas), IHC, kadang CSS.

Radiografi toraks menilai pneumonia sekunder.
Pengobatan
Hanya suportif: cairan IV, antibiotik infeksi sekunder, terapi napas, antiemetik, antikonvulsan. Glucocorticoids selektif. Isolasi ketat.
Prognosis
Sering buruk, terutama tanda SSP.
"CNS disease is generally progressive and carries a poor prognosis; it can develop in some dogs that never had systemic signs of disease recognized."
Pencegahan
Vaksin inti anak anjing + booster; vaksin khusus feret; karantina; disinfeksi.
Kapan memanggil dokter hewan
Darurat: kejang/mioklonus; sesak napas berat; sekret kuning-hijau; rebah; tanda GI berat; kebutaan mendadak.
