Distemper Symptoms, Timeline, & Recovery

Dec 30 2020 = Umuwi kami ng probinsya kasama ang 3 dogs namin: Ube, Keso & Lemon. Pagdating namin dun sabi ng parents namin wag sila gaano palabasin kasi may sakit daw yung mga a*o sa labas, ubo at sipon.

Jan 4 2021 = Umuwi na kami sa manila.

Jan 9 2021 = Lumabas ang first symptoms nila sneezing & fever: 3 sila Ube, Keso & Lemon. Mainit ang belly nila more than normal kaya nasabi naming may lagnat. Yung pagbahing nila tinatawanan pa namin noon kasi ang cute nila. 🤧 Despite those 2 symptoms, masigla sila at naghaharutan silang 3 like normal.

Jan 12 2021 = We visited the vet, we only brought Ube kasi siya lang ang tumamlay ayaw niya kumain mag-isa, she was not tested for distemper or any serious disease kahit sinabi namin na may namatay na na 1 dog sa province namin, kung saan kami galing at saan sila most likely nahawa. Binigyan niya lang kami ng Cefalexin, Appeboost at Ascorbic Acid Zinc.

Jan 16 2021 = Wala ng sneezing si Keso at Lemon, medyo mainit na lang ang belly nila. Masigla rin sila. Si Ube lang ang matamlay.

Jan 23 2021= Binalik namin si Ube sa vet para ipatest for distemper, kasi sabi ng parents namin may another 2 dogs na namatay sa province, at may nagsabi sa mom ko na baka raw distemper. Symptoms ni Ube at this time: nagmumuta, nakapikit lagi, loss of appetite, lethargy, dehydration, laging tulog.
Ayaw pa ng vet namin na itest for distemper si Ube, bakit raw iniisip namin agad distemper eh serious disease daw yun. Nung tinest nya na dahil pinilit namin at lumabas ang result sabi ba naman niya "Oh sabi ko na sa inyo distemper eh!" 😑 HUHHH bakit bumaliktad ka bigla, sabi mo minutes ago bakit namin iniisip na distemper tas bigla hinala mo pala yun?? Bakit di mo sinuggest ang distemper test in the first place?? Ang galing ah. Ang binigay niya lang sa amin same pa rin Cefalexin, Appeboost at Ascorbic Acid Zinc. Sinabi niya sa amin na may 2 clinic for distemper sa pinas pero mahal ang treatment at hindi rin proven, hindi pa rin 100% na makakasurvive. Hanapin na lang raw namin sa internet.
Sabi niya pa "Wag niyo na dadalhin yung mga yun dito ah. Hindi na sila pwede, forever carrier na sila." "Brace for the worst, neurological symptoms like iuumpog umpog niya ang ulo niya sa pader"
Umuwi kami sa bahay na takot at dejected para sa kalagayan nila. Highly fatal ang distemper at walang gamot. Fatality rate nya ay 50% sa adult dogs, 80% sa puppies. Hinanap ko sa internet yung 2 distemper clinic, nakita ko yung fees nila hindi kaya ng budget namin lalo na 3 sila. Hindi na namin pinatest si Keso at Lemon dahil mahal ang test kit, inassume na lang namin na meron rin sila kasi magkakasama sila ever since.
Naghanap ako ng ibang distemper information, treatment, home remedies, survivor stories sa internet. Nakakita ako ng page and groups na may posts about sa mga ininom na mga gamot, vitamins at home remedies ng mga distemper survivors.
Hindi ko sinunod lahat, pinili ko lang ang mukhang mga helpful at tugma sa sintomas ng dogs namin. Naging careful kami sa pagsunod sa mga gamot at vitamins na suggestions, hindi dapat madoble. Like 1 antibacterial, 1 mucolytic, or 1 multivitamins, 1 of each type lang.

Jan 27 2021 = Biglang nagsuka si Ube ng maraming puro yellow lang 2x in a matter of minutes naiyak ako nito kasi akala ko biglang palala siya 😭 Pinainom namin siya ng domperidone half tablet 2x that day, thankfully hindi na naulit ang vomiting nya.

Jan 30 2021 = Bumalik na ang appetite ni Ube, kumakain na sya mag-isa kahit ulam with kanin na ang pagkain niya. Sumigla siya onti at gusto nya na makipagharutan sa 2 kapatid niya pero pinigilan muna namin. Nakapikit pa rin siya madalas.

Feb 10 2021 = Masigla na si Ube, naglalaro na silang 3 uli. Hindi na gaano nagmumuta, pero dry yung left eye ni Ube, need patakan ng equisine moist para madilat niya.

March 5 2021 = Nagmumuta pa rin si Ube pagkagising niya lang. Minsan hindi na niya need ng eyedrop, nadidilat nya mag-isa pero parang mas maliit yung pagkaopen ng left eye niya, medyo kirat siya.

Sometime in mid March = Hindi ko namarkahan ang exact date kung kailan totally bumalik sa dati ang mga mata niya.

April 9 2021 = Mas magana sila kumain ngayon kesa dati kahit nung hindi pa sila tinamaan ng distemper. Pinaka healthy weight nila ngayon. Lalo na si Ube na never tumaba kasi picky eater noon, ngayon malaman na siya.
3 piglets na ang hitsura nila 😆 Dati si Lemon lang ang mataba, ngayon sa biglang tingin napapagkamalan na namin silang 3 Lemon.

Effective for our pets. Nagkaroon ng parvo yung adult dog namin, ito ang pinainom namin + vitamins.

Available sa Mercury drugstore.
Kung gabi lumabas ang sintomas ng alaga niyo at walang available vet, we highly suggest na bumili kayo nito at ipainom sa alaga niyo as first aid at ituloy niyo lang hanggang gumaling ang pet niyo kung may budget kayo.

Lagi na kaming may stock ng Barley at Igco sa bahay, tawag na nga namin dito Igley potion eh. Pag tumamlay alaga namin papainumin lang namin nito at effective agad gagana na uli kumain.

Pati ako uminom nito nung lahat kami may trangka*o nung January, para sa tao kasi talaga to pangboost ng immune system. Effective din for me mas mabilis akong nakarecover kesa sa family ko na di uminom. Normally mas matagal ako tamaan ng sakit sa kanila.

I hope this info will help you and your pets.

Please read all the other posts in this page, nakapost na po dito lahat ng ginawa namin para gumaling ang pets namin from distemper and parvo.

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious viral disease of dogs that commonly causes acute gastrointestinal illness in puppies. The disease most often strikes in pups between six and 20 weeks old, but older animals are sometimes also affected. A rare variant of the disease may be seen in very young (neonatal) puppies is myocarditis (an inflammation of the heart muscle).

Once a dog or puppy is infected, there is an incubation period of three to seven days before the onset of first symptoms. Inside the dog, CPV needs the help of rapidly dividing cells in order to successfully cause disease, and the virus usually begins by attacking the tonsils or lymph nodes of the throat. Once inside the lymph nodes, the virus typically invades lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) for one or two days, creating many copies of itself. These viruses hitch a ride inside the lymphocytes, where they are sheltered from the host defenses, and enter the bloodstream. Many of these CPV-infected lymphocytes are ultimately killed, causing a reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, a condition called lymphopenia.

Once in the bloodstream, the virus again targets rapidly dividing cells, hitting hardest in the bone marrow and in the cells that line the walls of the small intestine. In very young dogs, CPV can also infect the heart, leading to inflammation of heart muscle, poor function, and arrhythmias.

In the bone marrow, the virus weakens the body’s ability to protect itself by destroying young immune cells and causing a drop in the protective white blood cell count. This probably makes it significantly easier for the virus to invade the gastrointestinal tract, where the virus does its worst damage.

The virus causes this destruction by targeting the epithelium of the small intestine, the lining that helps to absorb nutrients and provides a crucial barrier against fluid loss and bacterial invasion from the gut into the body. The cells that make up the epithelial surface are short-lived and are replaced continually by new cells born in the rapidly-dividing areas known as the crypts of Lieberkühn. The virus invades these crypts where new epithelial cells are born and disables the body’s ability to replenish the intestinal surface.

By preventing the replacement of old and dying cells with fresh new cells, the virus leaves the intestinal surface unable to adequately absorb nutrients, prevent fluid loss into the stool, or prevent bacteria from moving from the gut into the body. Severe diarrhea and nausea are the initial result, but eventually the intestinal surface can become so damaged that it begins to break down, and the bacteria that are normally confined to the gut pe*****te the intestine walls and enter the bloodstream. This causes both significant fluid loss from diarrhea and widespread infection inside the body. To make matters worse, the body’s immune system is already weakened, as its ability to produce new white blood cells to combat infection has been hampered by the invasion of CPV into the bone marrow. CPV is not always fatal, but when it does kill, death is as a result of either dehydration and shock, along with the effects of septic toxins produced by the intestinal bacteria roaming throughout the bloodstream.

Distemper Neurological Signs/Symptoms, Prevention, Aid & Treatment

Neurological Phase:
Weakness of limbs
Falling or stumbling
Muscle twitching such as in the legs or face
Seizures
Partial/complete paralysis
Chewing gum fits
Walking in circles
Head tilt
Uncontrolled rapid eye movements

B complex vitamins are recommended for the prevention and aid of the neurologic phase of distemper. Since the canine distemper virus attacks the nerves, giving vitamin B complex helps repair the damage the virus causes in the brain, nerves, and spinal material.

Particularly vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) contribute essentially to the maintenance of a healthy nervous system.

Neurovet & Polynerv Comparison

B1 / B6 / B12

Neurovet
500mg/250mg/1mg per tablet
= for larger dogs, for dogs who currently experiences neuro symptoms

Polynerv
100mg/5mg/50mcg per 5ml
= for smaller dogs, for prevention of neuro symptoms, for dogs who currently experiences neuro symptoms

Other options with similar or higher mg:
Emerplex
Polynerv 500
Polynerv 1000
Neurobion
Neurobion Forte

"Classically, the neurologic phase of distemper occurs 1-3 weeks after the resolution of the mucosal phase but can potentially occur months afterwards." ⚠️
