New Distemper Study Findings Reported from Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (Prognostic Factorial Index for Dogs With Canine Distemper).

A new report from Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University in India discusses the factors associated with poor prognosis in dogs with canine distemper (CD). The study found that CD is a highly fatal disease in dogs, and it is important to identify factors correlated with poor prognosis to develop a prognostic index. The researchers conducted a study on 40 dogs with CD and found that young dogs with ocular discharge had a higher risk of death, but the chances of survival increased with age. The overall case fatality rate was 55%. This research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into CD in dogs. [Extracted from the article]
