napnap and ingky
by: ann on Mon, May 28 2007

i have 5 dogs. 2 of them were infected by canine distemper napnap got it from her mom ingky. i was just glad that even though they are infected they’re still alive and are doing good. though ingky developed seizure part of her head like chewing something, while napnap has myoclonus at her right arm. it was very heartbreaking for me i thought they were going to die. the only thing that saved them from getting worse according to their vet is that they received vaccination since they were pups and annually. a bit costly but it’s all worth it..if you love your pets have them vaccinated…
