_Digestive and Hepatic Symptoms._ Anorexia and vomiting may usher in the disease. Buccal congestion, dryness, clamminess and fœtor are marked symptoms and there may be some yellowness of the mouth and eye. The patient is at first costive, but diarrhœa often sets in early, with tenesmus, much fœtor, mucus, froth and even blood, also abdominal pain and tenderness. The abdomen is habitually tense and contracted. The alvine flux may rapidly exhaust the animal, or it may continue for a month in dysenteric form with intense fœtor, weakness, emaciation and exhaustion. Ulceration of the mouth, gums and rectum, invagination, prolapsus ani, jaundice, septic pneumonia, paralysis, chorea, convulsions, or cutaneous eruptions are occasional complications. The abdominal type of distemper is especially fatal. Even in its early stages debility, prostration and even drowsiness are marked features. _Cutaneous Symptoms._ Skin eruptions are observed in the great majority of cases, at some stage of the disease, and may remain as a sequel for a time after apparent recovery. Friedberger and Fröhner note cases in which the high fever and skin eruption are the only prominent symptoms, and recovery may be looked for with some confidence. The lesions are most patent on white skinned dogs with short hair, and on the more delicate parts of the skin (abdomen, scrotum, perineum, inside of the thighs and elbows) but they may extend over the whole body and even extend on the mucosæ. They vary much in different cases and stages. There may be punctiform reddish spots, changing to hard elevated papules, and, in the case of a certain number, to vesicles and even pustules. Some vesicles may be small and pointed, but more commonly they are rounded and flat, and as large as a lentil or small pea. When first formed, the contained liquid exudate may be clear and transparent, but often it is reddish or even violet. The individual vesicles tend to speedily burst, and dry up, but others appear, and thus the eruption will continue for weeks, the skin meanwhile exuding a sticky, greasy, offensively smelling exudate which mats the hairs together. Itching is usually slight, yet in given cases excoriations and sores are produced with considerable moist discharge. It tends to spontaneous recovery when the general health improves and appears to be little affected by local treatment.
