Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit ยท refresh) This article needs inline citations and expansion on the history, epidemiology, diagnosis, and pathology of the disease. I think the controversy section is important, but as it is it makes the disease look insignificant compared to the potential disadvantages of vaccination (it isn't). --Joelmills 02:41, 22 June 2007 (UTC) |

The risks of distemper vaccination have become a prominent issue of late, and are worthy of discussion. It is also worth mentioning that annual vaccinations for distemper have become less common among many veterinarians, as reported by the AVMA and other veterinary sites. I previously had unintentionally worded the discussion as medical advice. However, I am not a veterinarian and had intended to word this as a simple statement of common beliefs among veterinarians based on articles linked in the reference section.
Bk0 removed the section that was worded as medical advice. I reworded it to be a simple statement of findings that can be verified by following the links to the colorado research summary and the AVMA vaccination site. TAsunder 14:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- The reworded addition is much better and quite encyclopedic. I have no problems with it. --Bk0 (Talk) 00:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Link in the article
Why does the link "Sloughing" in the article link to Slough, England? That's not the propper meaning of this word in the context.
[edit] Cure?
The article doesn't say if the disease can be eliminated once contracted. 216.46.213.167 (talk) 21:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
It has a 90% mortality rate, if that is any help. 71.104.245.138 (talk) 02:33, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
