Treatment
* Supportive treatment, and antimicrobial therapy to cope with secondary bacterial respiratory infection.
Prevention
* Modified live vaccines are administered to dogs between six and 16 weeks of age, usually at 2 - 3 week intervals. This multiple dose regimen is necessary because the maternal antibody in puppies greatly hampers the efficacy of vaccination by neutralizing viral antigen.
* Dogs older than three months with unknown immune status should be vaccinated twice, 2 - 4 weeks apart, all dogs should receive periodic (one to two years-interval ) boosters.
* Pregnant bitches should not be vaccinated with modified live vaccines.
