Can a sick child give a dog distemper

A sick child cannot give a dog distemper and a dog cannot give distemper to a child. Dogs should be vaccinated for distemper. It is a highly contagious yet preventable disease. Talk to you vet and make sure your dog has the appropriate vaccinations.

Distemper is an airborne virus (like the flu). It is not necessary for a dog to be around another dog to get distemper. Younger dogs are more likely to get it because their immune system is not fully developed. Distemper can also be passed down from the mother to her pups.

Leg cramp and red eyes.. probably no longer. in case you imagine that your dogs has distemper or has been uncovered to distemper, and also you have not gotten him vaccinated appropriate, then you ought to call your vet.

No. It is a virus, a dog virus. They get it from other infected dogs or from something carrying the live virus.
