I am fostering a med. size dog that came to me with Mange and residual distemper neurological signs (head bobbing, seizures, teeth).  Is this dog a carrier or can it infect future Foster dogs i look after.  What about my yard with distemper feces? Should i put her down since she may never be adopted and risks my healthy ones?

She will not be a risk of giving other dogs distemper. Post distemper neural signs are due to the effect on the nerves but not from ongoing infection. At the Sanctuary we provide lifelong care for such an animal.
