Theory on why this so rarely occurs, even though it is possible, rests mainly on the idea that CDV is already a rarity among dogs due to modern pet vaccination practices, so the idea of a cat then contracting it is even more unlikely. Indeed, the only setting where CDV is actually still prevalent is a shelter/kennel environment (because incoming stray dogs may not be vaccinated against CDV and they are also are more likely to have been exposed to it than other dogs are). Given that cats and dogs are not integrated in shelter/kennel environments, domestic felines are therefore kept almost entirely isolated from potential CDV carriers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-14996195832684963142012-05-08T06:38:29.030-07:002012-05-08T06:38:29.030-07:00My dog has been sick for 2 weeks and been to the v...My dog has been sick for 2 weeks and been to the vet 6 times during this time period. She has been being treated for a bacteria infection and been given pain killers and antibiotics and booster shots. We live in Germany right now and no one can figure out what's wrong with her. I've been doing major research and she has very detailed symptoms of distemper. She is at an animal hospital in Nuremberg since yesterday and they are going to do a spine and brain fluid test to help figure out what is wrong with her. I had to request they do a distemper test. Is this uncommon that they wouldn't think to do this test on their own? She's only 16 months old and has had vaccinations as a puppy and is usually in great health. Since she has had these shots as a pup and been taking antibiotics for two weeks to fight bacterial infection that she would have more immunity to the disease?Kmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592790681840631338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-77667879025061339942012-05-03T20:42:05.409-07:002012-05-03T20:42:05.409-07:00there is a cure for distemper.

There is HOPE and information needs to be spread to EVERY VET OUT THERE! ITs very easy to treat using the NDV Serum if given before the 6th day of infection with the disease! <br />Link to learn more about the serum and NDV protocols to treat distemper can be found at: www.kindheartsinaction.com<br />Please look into this! You could save lives by introducing this to your vet, or by locating a veterinarian near or around you who has the treatment available! The serum is made not bought, and every vet has the ability to make it!AlyPitBullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11458213199576749840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-29065483213030383202012-03-03T22:33:03.904-08:002012-03-03T22:33:03.904-08:00We are living in East Africa (Tanzania) and just h...We are living in East Africa (Tanzania) and just had to put our 7-8 year old dog down on 1 March 2012 due to the resulting progressive symptoms of what appeared to be distemper. Both our dogs have full vaccination records and have presented over the last few months with a disease course that looks exactly like distemper. Nandi was a very strong and firey dog in her days of health, but deteriorated to a point of not being able to stand or easily hold up her head. There are many many stray, non-vaccinated dogs in our area and perhaps a modified version of the virus has immerged here in TZ. It is not clear how these reportedly vaccinated dogs contracted the virus; however, i highly recommend that people do vaccinate their dogs against distemper as it is a very sad course of decline. Our other dog is showing mild signs such as discharge from the eyes, but is still eating and has not show any neurologic signs to date. We pray he remains strong and can clear the virus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-77143224531802985212011-12-16T06:49:56.402-08:002011-12-16T06:49:56.402-08:00Distemper is like HIV for dogs.
