Štenećak kod pasa predstavlja infektivno zarazno oboljenje od koga najčešće oboljevaju psi iz azila i nevakcinisani psi. Može se javiti i kod divljih kanida u prirodi: rakuni, lisice, hijene, lavovi, tigrovi, krznašice. Uzrok je Morbili virus. Virus se može detektovati u ranom uzrastu kod štenaca, u početnom stadijumu bolesti. Širi se putem sekreta iz nosa, ždrela, gornjih respratornih puteva. Može zahvatiti i druge sisteme organa. Može se lokalizovati u limfnim čvorovima, gde se najčešće razmnožava. Pripada grupi virusa koji dovode do imunodeficijentnog stanja i najčešće se komplikuje bakterijskim infekcijama.  U slučaju obolelog psa od štenećaka virus je detektovan kod psa uzrasta od 3 meseca. Pas je udomljen iz azila sa aplikovanom jednom dozom vakcine u najranijem uzrastu, dok revakcina za primarnu zdravstvenu zaštitu  nije aplikovana u predviđenom roku. Vlasnica se javila kada je bila prisutna sekrecija iz nosa i kašalj. Nakon urađene kompletne dijagnostike konstantovan je Štenećak sa mešovitom bakteriskom infekcijom. Komplikacija na plućima je dijagnostikovana kao Pneumonia po urađenom Imidžingu pluća, toraxa ali i post mortem. Epizode zdravstvenog stanja u narednom periodu po postavljenoj dijagnozi pratile su nekada poboljšanja a nekada remisiju oboljenja kod ovog mladog psa. Samo primarno prisustvo ove bolesti (virusa) u organizmu ukazuje da je njegova prognoza loša ako se imunizacije koje su bile preporučene ne urade na vreme po preporuci veterinara;  oslabljen imunitet, kontakt sa obolelim psima iz azila, neadekvatna briga neki su od razloga..Virus je i danas prisutan: neadekvatna podrška azilima i nega, nepostojanje mesta gde bi se izolovale obolele jedinke radi sprečavanja širenja zaraze neodgovorna briga vlasnika i njihovo neznanje o o opasnostima i rizicima ove bolesti u ranom uzrastu su razlozi prisutnosti i dalje ove bolesti i ako je vakcina dostupna na tržištu.

​Distemper is a highly contagious infectious disease that affects mostly dogs from shelters  and unvaccinated dogs. It can be found in wild carnivores  such as:  racoons, foxes, hyeanas, lions, tigers and some furries. The cause is Morbili virus  from Paramyxoviridae family. It can be detected in the erliy stages of the disease in very young pupies . Spreading is by a nasal and oropharyngeal  disharge  or by respiratory system. It can be found in other systemic  organs too. This virus can get localized in limph nodes where it can reproduce itself. Belongs to a group of viruses that can lead  to immunodeficiency  status complicated by secondary bacterial infection.  In this case of study, the virus of Distemper was detected in puppy of 3 monts of age. The owner receieved  a puppy from the shelter  with the first dose  off vaccine  at the age of 8 weeks. Owner had missed the second dose  of the primary vaccination  course against Distemper virus. The owner  contacted the veterinary surgery  once there was a nasal disharge  and mild cough present in puppy. After confirmed diagnoses  there were  obvious complications on thoracic imaging already. Pneumonia was present during post mortem. After the confirmed diagnoses  there were episodes in health inprovement and remissions of the Distemper virus in this ill puppy . Presence of the disease (virus) in the body of puppy usually gives poor prognosis particularly if primary vaccination was not done promptly as advised by a veterinary surgeon.  There were few factors that helped development of this disease  in the puppy such is inadequate  care of the owner, acute viral disease, lack of puppy *s body immune response, and contact  with potential diseased  dogs in the shelter...Conclusion can be drawn that Distemper virus is still present today not becouse of lack of vaccines but due to an uneducated  owner about the preventive medicine and potential serious risks that this disease can have onto young puppies. Non adequate support and care in shelters, inability to isolate and treat ill dogs with clinical signs of potential disease so to stop spreading the disease are just a few reasons  why this disease is present today still.
