My dog has cough and fever after distemper. Can I give paracetamol?

Question

1. My male dog, borgie just died from distemper, and I still have 3 more dogs. Can I give them distemper shots? 2. Right now, my female dog, potchie is coughing, and I think her body temperature is not her normal body temperature, so I think she has fever and decided to give her paracetamol. Is that alright? 3. If I treat her fever, would it not continue to distemper? Please, reply immediately. I am really worried, and need advices right now. Pet's info: Dog | DOG-MED-SHORTHAIR | Female | unspayed | 21 lbs

I would strongly advice to have all of them checked and have your female dog treated (antibiotics will be needed). Paracetamol can decrease body temperature but it is unlikely to help more than that and distemper can develop anyway. Distemper shots can be given if your dogs are not affected.
