  • My family and I just adopted a yellow lab puppy last week from the shelter. Her previous owners did not feed her, as a result she is extremly underweight. I work for an animal ER, so I know the signs of distemper. So when Maxie started showing signs yesterday , we took her right in. The vet thinks she has distemper & so we are treating her as if she does. But we are NOT giving up on her. I love her so much, & your story inspires me. Thank u 4 posting, finally I am crying tears of joy!

  • I too have a dog that survived distemper, he is the joy of my life. You can find him playing on my youtube videos at Texas Ti Aussies. He is Crocket. He was removed from the care of the vet who wanted to put him down.

  • wow this story is amazing..

  • Thanks for the post. it is very inspiring. my jack russell has distemper and she has been fighting it for a month now. i dont know how long she can fight it. your video only bolstered my resolve not to give up..

  • My 4month pit bull is in the hospital trying to fight the distemper virus we didnt have the heart to put him to sleep im praying so much right now this story gives me more hope.

  • Thanks for posting. We found an English Pointer with distemper. We had to make the decision to help him fight or put him to sleep. I could tell too, that Gunner wanted to live so we chose to give him the chance. Lots of meeds, excellent food, vitamins and lots of love and he has survived. He is like a celebrity at the vet clinic. He had the heart to survive and we chose to honor his sweet heart. Gunner still has a way to go, but he is an amazing dog. We so hope to find him a great home.

  • Thank you I was loosing hope

  • way to go Jack...you are blessed to have such wonderful parents

    Did the dog have the nurological symptoms of Distemper? Was the diganosis of Distemper clinically confirmed with a proper test such as bladder wall cells under the microscope?

    If not then I can tell you most likely it was not Distemper. About 3% of dogs survive Distmper wants the nurological stage has begun.
