How long is the incubation period for canine distemper

The incubation period for distemper varies and there are two algorithms: the first is the commonly referred to incubation period, from the time of infection to the first fever. Generally this period is 3-9 days, which is from the time of infection with the virus to the first appearance of symptoms, as if it were a cold. The second type of incubation period covers the time from the first symptoms to the onset of typical symptoms and is generally 2-14 days longer than the first type. This means that your dog has already had an attack of distemper, but there is a pseudo-healing period, as if the dog has recovered. But in a few days it will strike again and the symptoms will be severe and obvious.
