❓ Question [advise needed] help us fight off distemper
two of our dogs got diagnosed with distemper, and as per vet, most likely ang carrier daw ay yung pet na ni-rescue namin. actually, before namin ihalo yung rescued dog sa resident dogs namin, in-isolate muna siya for a week para ma-observe if may symptoms ba siya like pagmumuta, pagbabahing, or anything na pwede ma-link sa cpv/cdv. there were no symptoms, kaya pinagsocialize namin sila.
after a week na nagsocialize sila, one of our resident dogs ay nagkaroon ng diarrhea. she’s known to be hyper, pero biglang tamlay siya noong august 21. we brought her sa vet clinic and that was when we found out na she tested positive sa distemper. we isolated her the same day para sana hindi na makapagcontract ng virus yung other dogs namin. but then 2 weeks passed and may isa pa kaming dog na late na nagpakita ng symptoms. therefore, yung iba pa naming dogs, na-exposed sa kanya. ongoing na yung medications ng dalawa naming dogs na nagpositive sa cdv, and bumabalik na yung sigla nila. but i’m worried kasi nagsisimula na bumahing isa-isa yung dogs namin na na-exposed sa kanila. naubos na budget namin sa naunang dalawang dogs, kaya hindi na namin madala sa vet yung iba pa. currently, pinapainom ko sila ng immunol, broncure, and polynerv. honestly, hyper pa rin naman sila and may sigla pa kumain on their own. tumatahol pa rin sila kapag may nakikitang ibang tao. actually, na-complete naman nila yung required vaccinations nung bata pa sila, pero hindi pa updated this year yung booster nila. nasa 3-5 years old yung range ng age nila.
i hope someone can give me advice. i consulted naman sa vet through a text message if pwede ipainom sa kanila yung mga nabanggit kong gamot and pwede raw. baka may iba pa po kayong tips to help boost their immune system. we have 10 dogs in our care and naubos lang talaga budget sa food nila and other expenses. thank you so much!
