==Prognosis==
The prognosis for CDV infection is dependent on the strain of the virus and the host immune response, as infection may be subclinical, subacute or acute. Overall, the mortality rate is around 50%, with death occuring 2 weeks to 3 months post-infection. Animals that appear to recover from early systemic signs may go on to develop CNS involvement which can vary in severity. Euthanasia may be considered with the onset of neurological signs, and is indicated when seizuring is uncontrollable. Dogs that fully recover do not shed the virus.
