my dog is supposed to have distemper
by: Clementine B. on Tue, Nov 18 2008

Hi, my dog is a 2 and a half months yorkshire. I bought Bob 15 days ago and about a week after, he started to have a bit of diarrhea so we took him to the vet and he told us that bob had the corona virus, but in its early stage. So he gave him some antibiotics, but the dog didn’t get better so we took him to another vet who told us that bob might have distemper as he had an inflammation of the eye which was pretty bad. however now its been more a week and even though his inflammation is not getting better, he still doesnt have any of the other distemper symptoms.

the vet told me today that apparently, my puppy is really strong and he is fighting the disease. he has 90 % of chance to survive. If he stays the way he is for 3 more weeks, he might be saved, which is a bit of a miracle since he is so young and only had one of the five shots against the disease(apparently in france its supposed to be only 3 shots but here in korea it is 5) so for anyone who has a puppy, the disease isnt always fatal as i thought. So i’ll be telling the end of this story in 3 week from now. And i really hope he’s going to survive as my last puppie that we bought when we were in china died of the parvovirus…
