Question

When can my puppy play with my other dog who survived distemper? Pet's info: Dog | Belgian Malinois | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 26 days old | 15.5 lbs

Rodrigo Roca, DVM · Accepted Answer

Hello, dogs whom have recovered from distemper can shed the disease for up to 4 months after recovery. I would allow at least 4 months if your other dog has recently beed diagnosed with distemper before you allow your puppy to interact. If your other dog has recover from distemper longer than that, then you can allow them to interact now. Hope this helps and best of luck.
