Canine Distemper

[bibz]

i hope you can read this and reply as soon as possible,
my puppy was diagnosed early this morning that he possibly have canine distemper
he is an 8month old lhasa apso weighing at about 5lbs.
he had 3 vaccinations: oct7 oct23 nov6 2007
his 4th was scheduled may1 2008 but was not given because of his symptoms

his symptoms first appeared about a month ago: he has lost his appetite, has watery stool, has been coughing and vomiting white phlegm like liquids and also has fever . So we went to see a vet and he prescribed methozine60ml mondex100gms and metoclopramide. his diarrhea was gone but there are still respiratory symptoms.
at first he seem to be getting better but about a week later his symptoms became worse so we have to return to the vet a couple of times.

april 28 he started having eye discharges and difficulty opening his eyes. so we went to another vet and he was diagnosed to have pneumonia and given carbocistine, cefalexin and mondex. his respiratory problems were resolved but his eyes didnt get better. last week he seem to have recovered but suddenly he became depressed, always sleeping, and had muscle twitching in his hind legs. he was given neurobion for the muscle twitching but early this morning he was diagnosed for possibly having canine distemper today he has no cough, but his appetite is still poor and he has fever, he has muscle twitching but he can still stand and walk. i searched the internet all things i can find about this disease and came across the topics on this site. what can i do to help my puppy? what is the meaning of NDV and where can we find this vaccine in case our vet doesnt have or know about it? how soon should it be given and the direction for its administration? is it too late to give it now? what is his prognosis? Hope you can help me. we will be going to vet later and hope i could share some information with him about this treatment..

thank you in advance

Hi I am Daveyo

Based on what I have read here, your dog is experiencing all the clinical signs of Canine Distemper in the CNS. I will do my best but remember everything depends on you to follow up on this and get it done or that dog will die. So understand this clearly. So bear in mind with me and read this carefully.

Brief rundown>
Age of dog > 8 months ???? more probably like 9 months
Vaccinations dates - October 7, October 23, November 6th of 2007 This tells me your dog's age at time of vaccinations was just past the 4 week barrier which is way too soon for any vaccinations. The mothers antibodies wiped out at least 2 of those vaccinations (interference) and the other shot a maybe but not enough. Also the timing is OK but you must wait minimum per shot 21 days. It takes 14 days for the vaccine to work and you giving full shot to the dog insulted the immune system causing chaos. For this size dog never give more than 1/2 shot per time.

Your dog has pneumonia which you need to treat with Baytril of 0.5cc and Penicillin G of 1.0cc combined for 7 days straight > twice a day intramuscular. You can give right now and get it started.

You need to get Newcastles Disease Virus Vaccine of the LaSorta strain, and you can find this at any Agriculture Poultry Store. It comes as a small vial of freeze dried version which must be kept cold and also comes with a clear sterile solution. If none around call the Agriculture Department and ask where some of this is located and who has it around your location. Farmers that raise Chickens always ususally do know where to get some. So hit that phone book now. Do not tell them you are using this for the dog, tell them You have chickens to spare yourself of a deluge of questions etc.

First based on the weight of your dog being 5 pounds, you need to start with the body, and the amount needed is 0.6cc of NDV. (0.1cc was added) The Dx is 0.1cc of NDV per pound. OK. You need to buy two of these because you have to also get the NDV-CSF tap done by a VET. Then what you do is have a syringe and a needle with a rubber strap and a small razor blade, and another person to help you. Draw out 0.6cc of the clear solution and then put it into the NDV vial and shake it a bit. Then draw out the entire contents into the syringe and make sure no air in syringe or needle. Then go to the dog find the front leg and shave carefully off the hair between the paw wrist and the elbow joint, somewhere so you can see the vein of the dog. Then take the rubber strap and put this on top of the thigh and tighten it a bit to draw out the vein on the leg. Once you see the vein then take the syringe and needle and insert sideways into the vein and then pull back a bit until you see some blood going into the syringe. Once you see this, then inject and in the process release the rubber strap as you finish up the injection. Then remove the syringe and then sterilize the puncture.

This part of the body process is finished and the body part for the cure will take 24 hours.

Next you have to find a VET who will do the CSF tap for you!!!!!!!!. This VET needs to have anti-shock meds, anesthesia, some I.V., some saline solution and the cather. The VET needs to do this procedure at the Foramen Magnum (the back part of the head where the cerebral Cranial cavity is. No place else. If anything plea with the VET to save your dog and have him do this procedure. It is the only thing that right now can save the animal or it will die.

The VET must first start the I.V process and then give the Anti-Shock meds based on the weight of the dog, and then shave the back part of the head and prepare for the Tap. Then the VET gives the anesthesia and must make sure this dog is sleeping good and does not move around.

Then the VET has to do the following. He must have 0.1cc of Saline in another syringe ready and prepared. Then he has to insert the needle into the spine at the Foramen Magnum then draw out a total of 0.5cc of Spinal Fluid. Take 0.3 of this fluid and put into another sterile vial to have this tested for the strain and specific Distemper antibodies. Then the VET takes the clear sterile solution and draws out 0.2cc and puts this into the NDV and shake it and then takes the Syringe containing the spinal fluid insert to the NDV vial and draws out the entire contents and then mix this together (shake it a bit) and then make absolutely sure all air is out of the syringe and needle. Then the VET puts this back into the spine and then flushes out the needle hub with the 0.1cc of saline.

This procedure is done, so after this monitor for any possible shock which if injected with anti-shock the dog should be OK. Wait until the dog wakes up and wags its tail and is able to stand on their own. Then while at the VET give the Baytril and Penicillin G .

The cure from this Neurological problem will take 24 hours. If the dog is already twitching don't worry, give it time and it probably will be cholera which will last a long time on the dog which is not a problem.

Thank the VET for saving your dog >> and keep following up on the BAYTRIL and PENICILLIN G for those 7 days. Distemper always has Pneumonia, so you need to do this to clear that problem.

By doing both above your dog will live and you must give it good nursing care for as long as it takes. The damage caused by the virus will continue to probably show its effects for the next 30 days and after that it bottoms out. The rest is the recovery of your dog depending on its genetics.

Now you have to be patient on the dogs recovery and pay good attention to it. As of the virus and the disease that is gone. As of the ODE and the deadly C4 T cells which your dog currently has it will be stopped and vacated and prevent the imminent death of the dog. This CNS (Central Nervous System) will need time to recover because the virus damaged the Myelin and Schwann cells and only the body at current can fix this on its own.

AFTER THIS >>>> DO NOT vaccinate this dog for minimum of one year and DO NOT when the one year is up, give this dog ANYMORE DISTEMPER VACCINE since the NDV will give immunity for the life of your dog (Titer readings around 1/1600) and NEVER GIVE ANY LIVE PARVO VACCINE. These two is a absolute must to AVOID.

When you give the Parvo give only KILLED PARVO VACCINE, and give only 1 Dose (total) of each being 1/2 per shot (like 0.5cc) spread apart of minimum of 30 days. As to the rest of the VACCINES you must give without any Distemper in it. Get Killed virus versions only for the other diseases.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EVER GIVE PARVO OR DISTEMPER TOGETHER TO THESE DOGS. Why this VET not understand this I have no idea.

For the remaining life of the dog, you give these vaccines only once every 3 years, and this includes Rabies Same for Kennel Cough (Pneumodog) Do not give any extra vaccine unless it is needed. You may check for the Titer reading every 2 years to see the immune status. A reading of 1/20 or 1/40 is fine and good for minimum of one year. Keep checking for the Titer readings before giving any vaccine shot every 2 years. You should be OK.

Between now and until you get that CSF tap done ASAP do not give that dog a BATH. I repeat do not. If you do you will doom that dog since it already has Pneumonia. Understand.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me here

[Daveyo]

Now to answer all your questions:

[[what can i do to help my puppy? what is the meaning of NDV and where can we find this vaccine in case our vet doesnt have or know about it? how soon should it be given and the direction for its administration? is it too late to give it now? what is his prognosis? Hope you can help me. we will be going to vet later and hope i could share some information with him about this treatment..]]


I told you what you can do for your puppy, follow my instructions, I also told you the meaning of NDV which is Newcastles Disease Virus of the LaSorta Strain, and also told you where you can find some so make sure you get two of them, and told you how to give it to the dog with instructions,

and it is not too late to save your dog at current time,

and the prognosis of your dog is if you do this ASAP, it looks very good, and the chances of a good recovery is in the picture, and the rest is up to the genetics and good nursing care by YOU YOURSELF.

Yep everything now is upon you to follow thru as I have told you here and its all on your shoulders.

This is a proven field medical procedure and very much authenticated and nothing is holistic of any means. A very specific medical protocol. If you want more information to give to your VET please go to [moderator note: website address has been removed] and look for Canine Distemper there and under the topic of Medical Protocol. I have everything about this Disease in the site. You need to copy everything there and give to your VET. He will need that information.

Other than that feel free to ask me anything either place.

Daveyo.

[bibz]

i have already visited your site and it helped me a lot. i already bought the ndv vaccine and gave it to the vet together with the protocols found on your site. he said that he will read it and will call me afterwards. i will also print your reply and give it to him.
i only have 1 ndv so i need to buy another one again later. you said that the ndv comes with a clear diluent. the ndv i bought have a blue diluent, is it okay to give or do i have to find another with a clear solution? does it have any side effects or contraindications?
his status as of today:
he was given muscle relaxant this morning for his muscle twitching, antibiotics and iron multivitamins. he has nose discharges and his foot pads seems to have callouses but can easily fall off.
i will return tomorrow in the clinic after i obtain another vial of the ndv.
thanks for your help and i will keep you posted.

[Daveyo]

If I were you I would get started right away and give that body injection to your dog NOW and doing that NDV-CSF tap before its too late. That virus will not wait for you and it is going full steam ahead destroying every myelin and Schwann cells it is finding including working more and more in the CNS. To make things even more complicated your dog is dealing with ODE right now. Old Dog Encephalitis.

I strongly recommend that you do not delay regarding Distemper This is a very nasty disease and the damage a dog gets from this is horrendous. The longer you wait the worse it will become.

Time is most absolute critical to curing and getting this disease stopped dead on its tracks. What your VET is doing is saying OK let me read and think about it and I will let you know, and in the meantime your dog is slowly DYING BIT BY BIT.

Would you wait if it was your child????? or even yourself if you were to put yourself into the shoes similar to your dog???? That dog of yours is crying out for help and to please cure him. The problem is they cannot speak human words.

Stay away from those vitamins. It does your dog absolutely no good. I detest VETS who give vitamins to animals who are sick, and even more so when they themselves have absolutely no knowledge of how to deal with Distemper

As of the twitching your not going to be able to stop it with muscle relaxants either. I know this disease so very well and it does no good. This is caused by demyelination and loss of Schwann cells involving the neuro pathways and of course its happening because you still not have the NDV inside the Central Nervous system to stop the deadly C 4 T cells which is part of the autoimmune system and it is doing a heck of a lot of damage inside the spinal cord which controls it from the brain itself.



Here is the REALITY FACTOR as of right now. Your dog has roughly only about 7 to 14 more days to live. Understand this well. Your dog will be dead in about a week from now or shortly thereafter. The animal has had this disease now for a good month. Most animals die from it by week 5-6 from onset of symptoms.

How many survive on their own, less than 5 % worldwide, and if they do they have a terrible life with so many problems of the Distemper aftereffects. Most die within 3 years because ODE sets in and then there is no hope except for me to save that dog. Seriously I would rather that they did die because the neuro damage is extremely very extensive. However with the new techniques that Dr. Sears and I have come up with, we get amazing results.

I have encountered from other people that VETS laugh at their clients and tell them there is no hope. Well I have put those VETS out of business, and their clients have sued their pants off for lack of professionalism in dealing with animals who are sick. go figure. How would you like it if your Doctor laughs and shrugs off and says your child is going to die and there is no hope to save him???????? and then precribes you some antibiotics and vitamins!!!!!!! I also have encountered people who take the sick dogs and put them into the back of a truck and stick a hose inside and gas them to death with automotive exhaust fumes. What a world we live in huh???

Get my point????

Bottom line is Dr. Sears has saved over 600 dogs with actual live cases being a field doctor and it was his discovery both for the Serum X and the NDV doing the saving. I came up with the answers to saving dogs of Neurological Problems and discovered this as well only 7 months ago. Together Dr. Sears and I have teamed up and we are now saving dogs left and right with no end in sight since Distemper seems to be near epidemic stages now, because VETS have no idea what they are dealing with let alone know how to treat such. They have relied for too long at famous drug makers such as InterVet, or Pfiser, or Merial. These VETS forgot who they are and most have forgotten their training and have not kept up with the latest cures and methods.

Funny though, some of these owners who do get their dogs saved from this disease simply say thanks and move on oblivious of what really took place. Such a pity.

For Dr. Sears and I, it doesn't matter, and what really matters is we know we just saved a dog from imminent death. I tell you if a dog can speak to us, I am sure that they would thank us to no end. That is our belief and its is to save dogs period when most are so desperate as it usually is most of the time.

So ask yourself why is this happening. It is because the dog owner or the VET compromised the dog's immunity and its health ""period"". No excuses. This is the real fact. This is the main cause and the next following closely behind it is lack of Knowledge from both. This is not a blame game. This is about accepting responsibility when due and understanding that mistakes were made that put the animal into such a predicament in the first place. Had one maintain the regiment religiously, there will hardly be a problem. Right or wrong????? So give it some thought process OK

The footpads are secondary characteristics of Distemper. This means your well past the 6 day window and well underway at the end phase now. Don't be surprised to see something happen within the next 3-4 days from your dog if you continue to delay this and the odds of you saving your dog in time wise gets less and less as each day passes by. Your dog right now is very close to the point of no return meaning imminent death. Remember you need minimum of 30 hours to save your dog its life. If it gets less than 24 hours its too late. Why, because it takes 12 hours for the cytokines from the NDV injection to build up enough links to do its work and create a Tsunami of super cytokines which in turn is what wipes out the deadly threat. It takes another 12 hours for it to kill and wipe out the virus in the body, and in your case you need that NDV-CSF tap done now to stop the deadly C4 T cells and also stop the virus as well and to stabilize the immune system before the virus lowers its own guns of Navarrone and do its final assault. Even after you do the tap your not out of the woods, beause Pneuomonia can still kill your animal and the dogs genetics has to respond accordingly.

[bibz]

i get your point mr daveyo. maybe you thought that i was going to delay the your instructions. its just that i have to do it tomorrow because it is past midnight here now in the philippines, i assume that we are 12 hours advanced. the time shown in my post should be in pm not in am...and another thing is that i have only purchased 1 vial of ndv, i thought that it was enough for 2 administrations, until i have read your first reply. i do not plan to delay the treatment, in fact i am planning to get another ndv early tomorrow so that i can deliver it to the vet and administer the ndv-csf tap before noon. the vet had already given him the body ndv earlier, around 10pm, the only thing that needs to be done is the ndv-csf tap..
i am just waiting for your reply and i am really glad that you did. thanks for your concern, i hope that all doctors are as dedicated as you are. i will let you know what will happen tomorrow

[Daveyo]

Oh your in the Philippines. Fantastic. I thought you were in USA. I know Dr. Loubinar there and he does the procedures that we have given to him, besides he has friends that work in a lab that can do the testing, and also he stocks up on NDV.

Your VET will be the second one. If you can be so kind enough to please give me his name so that I can compile a list of Doctors who do such in the Philippines and it would be nice so that others can go to them. You also need to tell this VET to also stock up on NDV because it seems that the Philippines is getting hit hard with Canine Distemper

I happen to be in Thailand. I am from the USA. Had a wife who is a Philippine woman also.

Ok will be here and if you wish post his name on my website OK under canine distemper peer to peer. If you can let me know here if you cannot post there because I am not sure if anyone is able to post so I need to know if your able to post there. I would appreciate it.

Good to know you got the body injection done. Your dog should be cured by evening around 10 pm or so. That CSF tap is the one that will save that dog. What you did now is shut the doors to the virus of any chance to escape once you do the CSF. Yes it can go both ways which is remarkable of what this virus can do.

After you do the CSF tap it will take 24 hours to stop the destruction caused by the C4 T cells and take out the virus and cancel the ODE and stabilize the autoimmune system. Once all done your dog is immuned for life against Distemper for the common known strains. If the dog gets it again it is a mutated strain and we have not had any cases to find out and the problem is you cannot use NDV again either in the body or nervous system. You can only do such to the same dog only one time. It is considered the very last resort. The Serum X on the other hand can probably still be used against the mutated strain but neither of us is certain since this contains antibodies and its much different than vaccine and we have not come up with a dog in that condition as of now. We will leave that to the smarts to figure that one out if they are willing to research it.

Last of all don't forget to give that Baytril and Penicillin G to stop the Pneumonia. Just reminding you.

Now once you have all this done, you need to have the VET check the eyes of your dog very carefully for any tear duct damage. Most important. If it is damaged they eyes of the dog will go dry so be on alert and watch the dog carefully. If it keeps rubbing the eyes, get lube tear droppers from the pharmacy. Don't buy the tear drops that dry out the eye, get the one that lubes the eyes. Then in the meantime the VET will have to do some surgery (micro surgery) and open up the drainage for the tears OK. This is the most common damage found caused by the disease.

As to the pads, you need to examine it carefully. If possible you can peel off the outer surface provided it is a thin layer using good tweezers. This part is damaged and gone. Make sure you have a magnifying glass (a big one with a light on it). It is the hard part that you have to remove. My dogs here had it and I removed it carefully and glad I did. Somehow it was able to fix itself up and still have pads to protect the paw. I just did little by little every day one section at a time. When you peel it off, go very slow with it a little here and there. Work around it . If you see your pulling more than just this damage part stop and use fingernail clippers and clip off the peeled part as close to the paw as possible. Wait a few days and try again. Eventually you will and can get all of it out. Then apply some skin lotion at night time so it can toughen up again during the day time. It might take a couple of weeks to do all of it. After this hard part is removed the paw should be soft and flexible. If this is achieved the dog can recover.

One very last thing your VET needs to do after 2 weeks from the CSF tap is take some blood and check the WBC count. If it is low below 11, a shot of Nupogen (0.1cc) is needed to boost it to near around 17 for most dogs. This is essential which is the protection for the animal against diseases and illness. The higher the WBC the better the protection. Canine Distemper will also attack the bone marrow which makes the WBC. Parvo definitely hits it like a ton of bricks and usually destroys the marrow completely. Nupogen on the other hand restores these lost cells and damaged cells allowing it to recover and repair itself. The other thing about Nupogen it is extremely very powerful inducer and 0.1cc can shoot it up very high. Example say you have a reading of 8.0 and give 0.1cc of Nupogen. The WBC count will shoot up to around near 14, then stabilize like near 12. To make it to 17 two times is needed. By the way Nupogen is not cheap at all, and quite expensive. In Thailand to get 0.3cc of Nupogen it costs 4,300 Baht. About 130-140 USA dollars.

Thats it for now keep me posted.

sir daveyo,
i visited my dog in the clinic to early this morning, he seems to be improving. he is more lively today than the past few days, although his nose and eye discharges are still the same, mucous like and greenish.
i had given my vet a copy of your first reply and he said that we should wait for the dog to be on a better and stable condition before giving the csf tap, he said that the dog may not be able to do it in his current condition and should be observed for about 3-5 days until he has shown some improvement then he will do the procedure. what should i do? i am really confused. i will be back at about 6 hours from now, i just need to do some things.

[Daveyo]

First as of right now those cytokines at time of this writing should begin now. It is building up very fast. Yes you will see this on the dog yet. You are already beginning to see the early signs of recovery. At about 10:30 AM philippine time the cytokines now begin to take over in the body and by tonight around say Midnight philippine time your dog should be showing a huge improvement. The normal range for this cure depending on the genetics of the dog is between 12 to 48 hours with the average being 24 for most dogs. So, on some dogs it might need a bit more time, so don't panic OK

You must right now treat for the Pneumonia with Baytril and Penicillin G immediately. Get those lungs cleared of the disease caused by Distemper VERY IMPORTANT, because PNEUMONIA CAN KILL YOUR DOG. Treat that Pneumonia ASAP. NDV will not clear the Pneumonia and that is already been proven. Only antibiotics of the strongest kind and of the Broad Spectrum type can stop Pneumonia.

Make a copy of my writing here and deliver quickly to the VET. Here is my message to him.

Attention VET
Please treat this animal having Pneumonia now ASAP. You may take an X-ray to verify, and or use a Stethescope and listen to the lungs for fluid buildup. I highly recommend you to give Baytril of 0.5cc combined with Penicillin G of 1.0cc given intramuscular TWICE A DAY OR EVERY 12 HOURS FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS STRAIGHT. Do not alter this or shorten this treatment. Pneumonia is very difficult and also very dangerous to the dog in the recovery process.

Pneumonia and Central Nervous systems is entirely two different beasts. Because it being separated you need not worry of complications.

You MUST do the CSF TAP by the 48th TO the 72nd hour from the body injection. This virus is about to cause a seizure/paralysis/or Blindness etc., to the animal. It has only about roughly between 5 to 12 days left. The twitching is a clear sign of an impending seizure. I know so because I had a Dog myself in the same exact situation but did not do the CSF tap in time and lost this dog 7 days later. Do not worry about the animals health since the cytokines created by the NDV will take care of the problem for you during the interim in the body. The CSF is now MOST CRITICAL because the animal is now in the ODE phase. This CSF tap has to be done before the seizures take place or the paralysis especially.

You now have stopped this virus in the body, but must stop it in the CNS. Understand, that both must be done and they work together.

This dog once it gets the NDV in the body and gets the NDV in the CNS you CANNOT GIVE ANYMORE INJECTIONS OF NDV TO THIS DOG. If you do, you will create a immune cascade deadly situation. It will make the antibodies designed for chickens, and such is not compatible for a dog. This is a one time deal > one time shot deal. This method is considered the LAST RESORT METHOD, and the only known lifesaver that is available worldwide since making the Serum is next to impossible of which I also have posted. If I had to make the choice I would use the SERUM first provided I catch the dog inside the 6 day window from onset of Distemper symptoms, and also can use the same Serum for the body after this up to the Seizure stage. At seizure stage then use NDV in the CNS. At least this dog still has the viability and option body wise for the NDV in case should a need arise. The serum is much better and can be used often and it does cure the other diseases as well, but NDV can be only used one time. In comparison NDV is twice the speed of the SERUM and causes a cytokine storm unprecedented. The Serum will cause a storm but it is less in intensity, but more flexible and versatile and this dog can be treated for all the other diseases such as Respiratory Herpes, Kennel Cough, Fading Puppy Syndrome etc. The only thing we do not know is what it will do inside the CNS since the SERUM is antibodies whereas the vaccine is not antibody. Big difference here. Any researcher who might be interested feel free to find this answer out for us either lab or test dog. We are leaving this to the smarts, and of course if we catch a case that is of stray means, we probably will test the Serum on this dog to see what happens. Now the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota USA, is injecting generic Antibodies to the CNS in humans that are afflicted with MS. It remains to be seen the outcome so I await patiently for that report. The generic antibodies is made from the host subject from the Lab there, that will be getting the injection. These antibodies stimulates new myelin and Schwann cells in providing rapid neuro pathways. The results ??????? still pending. I on the other hand have them well aware of the deadly C4 T cells, of which if left unchecked this C4 T cells will defeat their purpose and attempt. It will destroy even the new myelin and Schwann cells. So they debate with me over this darn issue. They are aware of my discovery of controlling the autoimmune system and stopping the deadly C4 T cells. They still wonder about it. So, life moves on and I leave them (the smarts) to debate. Done my part.

DO NOT GIVE THIS DOG ANY PARVO AT ALL OR ANY DISTEMPER VACCINE. Please heed to my warning. Modified Live Parvo is most dangerous to NDV dogs because it opens up that blood brain barrier exposing it to complications and may trigger events on the animal. AVOID ANY MODIFIED LIVE VACCINES. You may give after 1 year has elapsed from the time of the CSF tap, but give Parvo in KILLED VIRUS ONLY, and of 1/2 dose spread apart 30 days. Only 1 dose is needed and leave it alone. Don't give anymore unless titer count requires a small boost. As to the other vaccines I highly recommend to give single shots OF KILLED VERSIONS of 1/2 dose per occurance every 21 days spread apart once every 3 years. MAKE SURE THESE OTHER VACCINES DO NOT HAVE DISTEMPER IN IT.

It takes 24 hours for the NDV-CSF tap to complete its work. After this for the next 30 days you probably will see the damage effects caused by the virus and the deadly C4 T cells because this damage took place inside the central nervous system. No need to worry, because by end of 30 days it will bottom out. In about 45-60 days this dog will begin to internally recover from such damage and the recovery speed depends on the genetics of that animal. It might take up to a year. It is slow recovery and not a fast recovery. The NDV in the meantime stimulates this recovery process and again how much depends on the genetics. Every dog is different. The ODE after this tap is cancelled out and vacated thus this dog will not have a death sentence hanging over its head. You will have won and beaten this virus, and my congrats go to you for believing me and Dr. Sears. You will be the second Doctor in the Philippines who have knowledge of this. The other person is Dr. Loubinar about a 6 hour drive from Manila southward.

This dog will live if you do as I instruct you here, and also will be immuned for life against Distemper. If you not believe me, feel free to take a Titer check about 30 days from now and you will see the very high reading yourself.

In about 10 days after the CSF tap has been done, do take a blood test and find out what the WBC (most important) readings indicate. If it is below 11-12, this dog will need a small injection of Nupogen of 0.1cc to get it up to near 17 for best immune defense response against diseases. The higher the better its response against illness of any kind. Canine Distemper will attack the Bone Marrow to some extent, not like Parvo which literally nearly destroys the marrow. The bone marrow is what makes the WBC. So monitor this part carefully especially in the beginning.

The cytokine storm will last and remain in the body and in the CNS for only a short time to allow the dogs own immune system to catch up and be able to defend itself against diseases on its own. After that it will phase itself out. The internal system of the humoral aspects of this dog will have changed from C4 to C4 25. It will also change inside the CNS. This is why the immunity is so high. The dog will be just fine from such change. Different structure to overcome any future attacks of Distemper.

As you know Distemper is very virulent, it is an airborne and contact disease. The dog will be shedding this virus for another 3 weeks after it is cured. It is the body process of it getting rid of the virus itself > normal routine. Please advise the client to keep other dogs that are NOT VACCINATED away from this animal for a minimum of one month.

The final note is also most important. Please advise your client good nursing care and patience and followup to all the instructions as given is best for the animal for long term.
