Many people keep dogs without a plan. Many people do it on a whim, and some are given by friends. So do you know what should you do if your dog gets sick? What is the best way to disinfect canine distemper? Next, the editor will tell you about it.
1. Pet-specific disinfectants
Commonly used disinfectants for pets include Dupont Virco, Ditex, etc. These are the most commonly used disinfectants in pet shops and pet hospitals. They are very effective against specific pathogens, such as canine distemper, parvovirus, coronavirus, fungal bacteria and other viruses. When using, mix water according to the proportion, and then use a spray bottle to spray and disinfect the floor at home, dog utensils, bedding, toys, etc. But also pay attention to the frequency of use, which can be done once or twice a week.
2. Ultraviolet light
Since the canine distemper virus spreads in a special way, mainly through the respiratory tract, in addition to spraying the environment and surfaces with pet-specific disinfectant, it is also necessary to disinfect with ultraviolet light. Since ultraviolet rays can also damage the skin and eyes of humans and animals while killing viruses and sterilization, when using ultraviolet lamps, you must comb the relevant people or animals in time and irradiate them according to the prescribed time, usually half an hour to an hour. In addition, since some ultraviolet lamps contain ozone, it is recommended to open windows for ventilation for more than 20 minutes after disinfection is completed to avoid ozone damage to the human body.
3. Precautions
When a dog is infected with canine distemper virus, the dog’s secretions will carry the virus, so there will be a large amount of viruses in the dog’s previous living environment. It is recommended to disinfect for seven consecutive days first, open the windows for ventilation every day, and then disinfect once every seven to fourteen days. If you get a new dog, it is recommended to change the breeding location and return to this room after half a year.
