^ I kinda understand why the vet wants to administer anti-suka meds. Depende kasi sis sa nature nung naka-bara, since its unknown, usually hindi talaga papasukahin, kasi pag sharp object, it can cause further injury. Kaya mas gusto na wag sumusuka, minsan kasi kahit walang blood nagkakaron pala ng trauma sa loob pag matalim yung nalunok.

yup. malikot sya at kumakain naman.  paguwi ko, talon ng talon.  umiinom na din ulit sa water feeder nya, although di sya masyado wiwi pag araw. usually, once lang in the morning, then twice sa gabi.  kagabi nga, nangungulit maglaro kami, kahit sa loob lang ng room namin.

My Baby Britney died of Distemper. :(
Nakuha nya ang virus galing sa pitbull ng kapitbahay namin (bwisit!)

Nung nabasa ko ang topic na ito naalala ko sya.
mga 3 weeks din sya nag suffer hanggang mabulag then pina euthanasia na lang namin,
kawawa tlaga.

I miss her so much.

Im happy ok na ang baby mo.

I'm so sorry for your loss, sis.  Nakakatakot pala talaga ang distemper.  I thank God everyday for my baby.  Ngayon she's back to her malikot self.  Yung na nga lang paglighten ng color ng nostril nya ang iniisip ko ngayon.

Princess abbie.. She is Doc Melanie Kalalang, or Doc Lanie for short. Ang alam ko she is the senior vet from another vet clinic but she decided to have her own clinic na kaya nagkaroon sa area namin. Why sis, may distemper ba ang dog mo? We are from QC area but kung malayo kayo, alam ko Vets in Practice also cures distemper and parvo na rin siguro, since sila naman ang sikat na dog hospital dito.

kalaiyaan so sorry for your loss.. May we know anong medication binigay ng vet? Hindi niya kinaya talaga kahit may meds?  :( Naalala ko ang binigay samin noon is antibiotics and vitamin and supplements lang, For 4days nagpupunta dito yung vet to inject those then may oral antibiotics and vitamins din ako na binibigay. Yung pitbull ano nangyari?

babykat oo sis scary talaga ang distemper, fatal sya kagaya ng parvo lalo na kung mahina immune system ng aso. Buong system kasi isa-isang iaattack ng virus, yan ang magpapahina sa aso kasi buong katawan nya affected. That's why dapat palakasin natin ang immune system nila by giving the right food, vitamins and supplements, exercise, at TLC syempre, so if ever magkasakit may panlaban sila.

right now, LC-Vit lang ang vitamin na binigay ng vet kay Luckie, plus yung Odorless tablets nya.  What other vitamins and supplements pa ba ang magandang ibigay sa kanya?  Also, i feed her Canidae and Cesar.  meron pa ba pwede ibigay sa kanya to increase her immune system.

^Sis ang claim ng iba kung premium dogfood, no need na for supplements since complete and balanced na yung dogfood nila. Some says na kung naka- raw feeding and homecooked kailangan ang supplements to balanced the meal, pero I think mas healthy pa nga mga to compared sa premium dogfood. Ang binibigay ko lang sa kanila ay raffavit, fruits and veggies, at vitamin C (only given during stressful conditions since dogs can produce their own Vit. C). Ayoko rin kasi magbigay ng kung ano-ano, mas importante sakin yung quality ng food nila. Both of my dogs eat Canidae All life stages, then I rotate to raw and homecooked. Dogs really have a strong immune system, tayo lang naman nagpapahina nito, by giving them low quality---food, care and environment.

Parang sa tao din sis, kung healthy ang pagkain at nakukuha ang required vitamins and minerals sa kinakain, ang ibigay na lang ay kung saan sila lacking. Pero since maliit ang tzu at feeling ko mas mahina sila compared sa larger breeds, feeling ko dapat everyday ang supplements nila. Pero tingin ko ang health nila ay nakasalalay sa food talaga eh, kung healthy ang kinakain mas malakas ang immune system.

Ang daming naglalabasan na supplements nowadays kesyo to make their coat thicker, shinier, odorless blah blah blah, pero when you check the ingredients, nyek, brewer's yeast lang din pala haha! At ang mamahal pa! Be informed with the product and its ingredients before you buy them, halos lahat ng products ngayon ay created for the manufacturer's gain, those people know that pet owners are not fully informed about a dog or a cat's system kaya alam nila madali tayong bibigay. It pays to research and ask fellow dog owners, ako, di madaling maggive-in sa isang product, dadaan muna sa butas ng karayom bago ako makumbinsi haha! Pero if you would ask me kung ano ang safest na supplement for them, go for pure Fish oil, buy the one without a plant source in it like the soybean oil, for it is not a pure fish oil anymore haha! Cover na nya lahat from head to toe so you can disregard na the others ;)

^No, sis. Walang distemper dog ko. I just want to be informed of good vets around. For now, may trauma pa rin ako sa VIP Alabang under Dr. Lester. Right now, I only have Dr. Peralta in mind kahit almost 3hours ang travel, okay lang. I ca't help but say na if you'll choose VIP make sure na Senior Vets ang mag-aattend sa inyo, like Dr. Nielsen, Dr. Marga, Dr. Nick.

Re: Fish Oil, what brand do you use? I'm currently buying Virbac Megaderm for my other lab, this is pricey pero I can really see results naman. Besides I don't intend to use it long term, like for 15 days lang para gumanda ulit ang coat nya.

One supplement that I always give is VCO and ACV. I'm feeding them raw chicken.

^ah buti naman wala, nagworry lang ako kasi you asked for my vet. True yan na dapat senior vets ang dapat hanapin sa VIP, marami silang vets dun pero di pa sila ganoon kaexperienced. My vet is the senior vet from Animal wonders, thankful ako dahil dito siya nagopen ng clinic malapit samin. Ang maganda pa ay pwede pa rin sya bumalik sa Animal wonders kung may kailangan sya na wala sa clinic nya.

I'm using the fish oil from ATC, human grade sya. Ang alam ko combo dapat ang fish oil and Vit e to prevent it from oxidizing and for proper absorption. Virbac is a solely a veterinary product ba? Kasi pwede rin daw ang human grade sa kanila, as long as wala ngang plant matter. Sa bulldog ko to binibigay, madami kasing health issues ang bullies then may skin problems at mahina ang limbs nung sakin kaya I always give him fish oil, we can even double the dose pag ganyang may skin problems.

I've tried VCO and ACV na rin, sa bulldog okay ang VCO it made his coat shiny at naging magana sya, pero nung nalaman ko na mas okay ang fish oil, I stopped na rin. Pero yung tzu, nawalan sya ng appetite sa VCO. I stopped kasi mahina talaga appetite ng tzu, he won't eat kung aalisin ko yung Raffavit nya. He is on homecooked meal most of the time kaya di na rin ako nagbibigay ng supplements. Yung ACV naman di ko masyado nakita ang effects tapos di nagustuhan ng mga tao dito yung amoy kaya tinigil ko na rin haha. I used to give VCO and ACV when my bulldog was on raw feeding, kaso he can't take too much protein, nagkapus ang pee nya at nagka skin inflammation, so I shifted to a low protein dogfood which is Canidae ALS.

Sis I've learned from raw feeding advocates na essential ang omega 3 if the dog is on raw. The reason is there is no enough omega 3 in the raw chicken/beef/pork that you are giving them, mostly omega 6 ang nakukuha nila dito that's why you need to supplement omega 3. I suggest sis na continue mo lang ang fish oil, possible kasi magkakaroon ng imbalance sa system nila if there's too much omega 6 and they lack omega 3. You can also give sardines, mackerel and salmon.

Yes, sis. Dapat nga supplemented ng Omega3 ang dogs who are fed raw. May I ask what brand of Fish Oil ang binibili mo? Do you still give your Bull Vit. E?

^ATC sis, for humans ito e. Alam ko bago lang sila sa market but available na kahit sa groceries, they also have garlic oil, prim rose oil. etc. Before kirkland gamit namin but when I found out na di nga pwede yung may plant matter, I looked for another brand na, mahirap kasi maghanap ng walang soybean oil halos lahat included ito sa ingredients kung human grade yung fish oil. Paminsan lang ako magbigay ng vit e pero okay pa rin naman bully ko. For how long na kayo on raw? Naku off-topic na, sorry babykat, I think it would be better if we will make a separate thread on raw feeding? :-\

Thank you sa info sis abuanddiego. PMed you na lang sa mga questions mo.

Sorry, sis babykat. Re: Distemper, 5months ago I was busy researching good feedbacks about the VIP and I chanced upon this site: http://adventuresofabeautyqueen.com/2011/03/29/how-my-dog-bailey-survived-distemper-and-how-yours-could-too/

I find this blog post very heartwarming. This aspin is very lucky to have a parent who has an unbiased and unconditional love for dogs.

^ur welcome ;) yun nga yung cure for distemper, NDV Spinal Tap. Ang nakakainis dyan bakit di nadiagnose ng vet kaagad yung distemper? Meron ng fever, reddish eyes, runny nose, lethargy, pero worms pa rin ang culprit? Eto pa, you can't deworm a dog if he is not doing fine, common sense yan. Then the succeeding symptoms: hardening of nose and yung pagwobble ng limbs and lethargy, yan ang sure way to know if a dog has distemper, pero blood parasites pa rin? my God, anong klaseng vet yun, akala ko pa naman ang gagaling nila, pero parang tama nga ang kutob ko, why would someone put a vet clinic sa tabi ng napakaraming petshops na alam mong pwedeng magkalat ng kung ano-anong sakit? Kahit di ko sabihin, alam ko na alam nyo na ang sagot dyan.

Alala ko before nung nagkadistemper ang aso ko, di pa kami nagpupunta ng vet, may kutob na ako na distemper ang sakit nya, sa kawindangan ko I typed the symptoms he's showing the first day na nakitaan ko sya ng kakaiba. Pagpunta namin ng vet na di naman ganoon kagandahan ang clinic, at luma na ang facilities, wala pa syang tests na ginagawa, chineck nya lang ang aso at tinanong nya lang ako tungkol sa symptoms na nakikita ko, may feeling na agad syang distemper ang sakit. Grabe hindi ko ineexpect na ganyan ang Animal Care Specialists, hello 2011 na, 2009 ko pa narinig about the NDV SPINAL TAP cure pero bakit signs at pagdiagnose lang ng distemper parang di pa nila naririnig? Pardon me for saying this lalo na sa mga clients ng clinic na yan pero ganoon ba sila "kawalang alam" sa mga sakit ng aso? Knowing na sister company sila ng VIP tapos ganyan sila. Ay sorry na lang pero mababa na ang tingin ko sa kanila after mabasa ko yung blog. Magaling pa ata yung mga maliliit na clinic sa kanila haha! Kaya mga sisters, alamin natin ang mga diseases ng aso, wag lang basta magtiwala at iasa sa vet ang lahat. As pet owners I think it's our responsibility to do our own research so in case magkasakit sila may idea tayo kung ano ang nangyayare sa kanila at di yung iiyak na lang tayo pag huli na ang lahat. Nakahain na lahat sa internet ang information, all we have to do is to research. Masuwerte yun blogger dahil nakasurvive yung aso nya kahit almost a week na bago madiagnose yung Distemper, I know ano pinagdaanan nila :)

babykat.. sis alam ko maraming causes why nagkakaganyan nose nila, it's either a fault lang, too much exposure sa sun or pwedeng may underlying illness. I've found some links informing us about nose pigmentation problems in dogs:
http://www.dogchannel.com/dog-vet-library/vetqa/articlediscolorationqa.aspx
http://www.professorshouse.com/Pets/Dogs/Health/Articles/Why-is-My-Dog-s-Nose-Turning-Pink/

I'll ask my vet din about your tzu's problem pag punta ko sa clinic.

^thanks sis.  Sabi ng vet, observe daw muna sya if there are any more changes.  Pero sa ngayon wala naman, although medyo ayaw na naman nya yung food nya - nagsawa na naman siguro.  Can't say wala syang gana kasi super excited naman sa treat and pag sinubuan ng food, kinakain naman.  masigla pa din at malikot at mahilig maglaro.  wala naman sugat or crust yung nose nya.

^Abnormal talaga mga shih tzu pagdating sa pagkain haha! Yung sakin din nagsasawa sa Canidae, kahit ihalo ko sa chicken,oatmeal and veggies, iniiwan nya kahit ilang piraso lang nilalagay ko. Sa ngayon hand-feeding muna, masama na naman kasi lagay ng poop nya, feeling ko baka may something wrong na sa tummy nya eh. Chicken, carrots, potatoes, sayote at kalabasa pinapakain ko, weird kasi feeling ko mas gusto nya pa mga gulay kesa sa chicken haha!

ay naku, sinabi mo pa sis, napakapihikan sa food ng baby ko. kanina lang, binigyan ko sya ng puro canidae lang, di ko hinaluan ng cesar nya. hirap kasi sya kainin yung kibbles ng canidae before, siguro kasi mas malaki compared sa royal canin nya before. Pagkalapag ko ng bowl nya, nagdinner na din kami ni hubby.  Ayun, ang baby ko, naginarte na.  lalapit sa bowl tapos aamuyin tapos titingin sa akin sabay punta sa corner at magmumukmok.  after mga two minutes, uulitin na naman yun.  halatang nagpapapansin lang at gusto bantayan at subuan pa sya ng kibbles.  nung inupuan ko na sya, ayun kumain naman.
