Abstract

Canine distemper is an infectious disease caused by a Morbillivirus, and it can manifest itself in animals in a respiratory and ocular, gastroenteric, neurological and cutaneous form. The virus affects dogs of any sex, age and breed. It is a viral disease easily prevented through the annual vaccination performed with a recombinant vaccine (WSAVA, 2015). Were attended in school veterinarian clinic Marcos Vinicius Tranquilim (CEVET) between March 2018 and February 2020, 113 dogs with clinical suspicion of Distemper. Some animals had contacts at home and were instituted in a post-exposure vaccination protocol. Of the 25 contacts that were vaccinated, there was no clinical sign of distemper, thus validating the post-exposure vaccination protocol.
