Rabies and Canine Distemper both are viral infections, which affects the brain, so both will be having neurological signs, but there are quite a few differences is there between them.
Rabies infection main target organ is brain so aggressive, throat paralysis, salivation, and other neurological signs are the common problem
Whereas Canine Distemper affects Nervous system, Digestive system, Respiratory system, ocular and skin. Hence, in CD, you will see nervous signs, vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory issues, eye discharge, nasal discharge, etc
Some of the typical signs of CD are thick purulent nasal and ocular discharge with temporal twitching
