We adopted the dog from a shelter. He was vaccinated a few days before we got him at about eight - 10 week. At first he came home very hyper then he developed this cough. Cough still persists, but not as strong. He has had a runny eye and nose, but no real discharge. Now he seems to be loosing his footing on slick surfaces - he has fallen into his feeding bowl a few times - We took him to a vet who said his fever was slight, but not strong. Vet saw him again and said it was not distemper. We are still concerned. He wants to sleep a lot. His appetite is still very good. He is urinating and defecating fine. We are not sure what is going on with him.

Did the vet give him medication for the cough? The problems could be side-effects from the medicine.

We are not vets, and we have not seen the dog in person.
You need to talk to the vet as the dog is not improving as it should. It's not enough to say it's not distemper. You need to know WHAT IT IS! So call the vet back. Tell him you're extremely concerned.

Please keep working with the vet - if they are not sure and you are not sure, how are we supposed to be sure?
It's unlikely he has distemper if he's fully vaccinated. These symptoms really are very generalised, they could be signs of any viral infection really. Ask the vet to explain to you exactly what they think is going on and why they think it isn't distemper, to put your mind at rest. Don't turn to Yahoo for reassurance, you should have assurance in the person treating your dog!

It sounds like it could be kennel cough, get the puppy checked out. Check out this site www.JustAnswer.com/Dog it's ask a vet questions.
