I've been taking care of 2 stray dogs that lived around my condo. i fed them, eventually spayed them, and was about to vaccinate (managed to vaccinate only one of them) when the 2nd dog started coughing. i was advised to hold with vaccination, then the weather was cold, and so on. Every time i wanted to do a vaccine shot, smth was going on. eventually he started coughing more and more. i took him to the vet, followed all the prescriptions and instructions, but last week i found him with eyes shut, low appetite and troubled walking. of course. the next day i took him to the vet where i heard he got canine distemper in its terminal stage...
now he is at the hospital for a week now. the doctor says that if he doesnt get better in these 3 days its better to euthanize as he already started getting seizures, not eating much, still cant open his eyes. i dont know how to cope with guilt, sorrow and the extreme pain of losing him. i cant forgive myself for letting this whole situation to happen. i feel that he will more likely get euthanized because situation doesnt get better at all...
what was your experience with neurological distemper? is it even curable?
