Dear Mr. Ed Bond,

Thank you for contacting me. I have found Dr. Sears with the help of your homepage. … I cannot believe that Doc. Sear’s serum is not an official animal medicine. … We have about 8 dog with these symptoms, all of them got distemper. We plan to start spinal tap treatment this week. … I believe in this treatment. … We are a poor dog shelter. We do not have much money, but we can perform our aims if we want them very much.

Update: Jan. 26, 2011:

She got NDV serum after 7 days. She has a very nice family and home. She is a happy dog. The people like her very much. She improved, she can move, walk, run, but she still has tremor. She has been neutered today. I think she will get better, she needs time to recover, but she has time. We believe in her improvement.

Here is Zsömi, post treatment:

Nyakigláb

Big-sized black and brown, Doberman-German shepherd mix, was very thin ,when he came to the shelter, he had diarrhea, he got enroxil and bolus a. When he was ok, he got two combined vaccines. 4 weeks after the 2nd vaccine he got sick:  lost weight, did not eat, had very crappy eyes, diarrhea, no fever.
•    Got 3 serums –after 12 hours, 30 kg 3 x 7 ml (cc) 11.05-06.2010.
•    After the first 24 hours: felt little better
•    After 48 hours – eyes were clean, good appetite, felt better
•    After 72 hours-  good appetite, got stronger, felt good, better walking, running
•    Got antibiotics for 7 days synulox(amoxicillin-klavulanic acid) – enroxil 5 % (baytril)
•    After 4 days: healthy.

NOTE: Three of their dogs have been treated with the NDV spinal tap. We are waiting to hear the outcome of those.

UPDATE — JAN. 17, 2011:

The three dogs with neurologic symptoms were treated with NDV spinal taps on Dec. 16, 2010.

UPDATE: January 26, 2011

I wrote you we tried to treat two spaniels who got distemper.

The spaniel who had fever, discharges of eyes and nose  – he has recovered. He is very healthy, he is better than ever, happy, moving, eats well.

We have problems with the other. He had tremor, total weakness of back legs and nervous symptoms, he got the serum three times, after the NDV serum treatment he got well for two days, but then he got worse and worse.
Now he cannot stand on his back legs at all, he has tremors. He eats and drinks, but cannot stand up. [NDV spinal tap is the next step, if possible. E.B.]
