Hello Ed,

As have promised you I send you enclosed the new reports on NDV serum treatment. (This is part II.) It contains 18 distemper cases. (14 lived and 4 died following treatment with NDV serum.)

Some interesting facts:

We were able to save all the adult distemper dogs with NDV serum treatment.
It is very difficult to treat puppies, especially at the shelter, unfortunately we were not able to save all of them
Today we have made NDV serum four times with the help of eleven dogs, result: 555 ml (cc) NDV serum
We need serum, as we get sick dogs from the town.
