Ed Bond is a former newspaper reporter who has published a book about canine distemper. Much of the book came from Dr. Alson Sears, who developed treatments for distemper without gaining acceptance from the veterinary community. But Ed is here to tell you how Dr. Sears could still get that acceptance and why you do not have to give up on a dog who gets canine distemper. Listen in to learn more about this awful disease that is often fatal, with a mortality rate of 50% in adult dogs and 80% in puppies. Dogs that do survive usually have permanent, irreparable nervous system damage. Listen in as there is some promising research and possible treatments for this infectious virus.
