Viral disease of dogs (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distemper

(Other definitions for distemper that I've seen before include "Paint; disease of dogs" , "Viral disease" , "Colourful coat" , "problem with dogs" , "that's infectious" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian.
