Surviving jasper
by: kim c. on Tue, Mar 03 2009

This is the story of my favorite dog named jasper, when i noticed that he vomit a very sticky saliva, i decided to brought him to vet for further evaluation and proper medication that i will give it to him, the cough is gone then i noticed after a week or two i saw his tail with sore, i noticed also that their has so many red ants into his tail so i decided to brought him again to his vet, and then he examined my dog and he injected for prevention of itchiness of the sore then he found out that the nose of jasper is so very dry, and then he noticed that the forehead of jasper is twitching so he gave me a bad news that day, he explained to me everything.

he told me that this virus will not cure, all we need to do is to boost his immune system and gave him enough fluids so that he will not be dehydrated. So i rush to drug store and i buy prescribed antibiotics and ascorbic acid for him, i gave him oral solution that i combined to his water. but it keeps bother me the weakness of his two legs. Is it possible to cure that distemper by giving him ascorbic acid? and should i gave him an aspirin? I hope i can get a feedback or answer by posting my story about my jasper. Jasper is still fighting on his disease.
