Distemper
signs
neurologic
CNS
infection
subacute/chronic
"Old Dog Encephalitis"
mature dogs
may not have systemic illness
unflammatory demyelination not caused by viral replication
presentation
myoclonus
involuntary mm twitching
same as acute
acute CDV encephalitles
immunocompromised
direct viral replication
acute non-inflammatory demyelination
signs occurs early or weeks after systemic disease
immature dogs
presentation
chewing gum seizures
ataxia
hyperestesia
cervical/paraspinal rigidity
"fly biting"
meningial inflammation
due delayed immune response
30% of dogs
not treatable
progressive
respiratory
"kennel cough" like signs
