There has been some cure in the past. Veterinarian used to cure this disease with accuracy. As it is told the introduction of NSAIDS people now resort to giving temporary relief rather than curing it.
NSAIDs make this disease worse. In fact, we are going in wrong direction to find a cure for this disease this is why we are failing.
Why canine distemper was cured in the past and not now!
It all begins in 1947. S A Montgomery observed that certain dogs were the cure when given an injection of penicillin.
Later carrying forward Montgomer's observation Veterinary Dr. Sergio de la Torre of Jorge A. Calle 224 – Ciudad Mendoza – 0261 4296132 developed a treatment protocol.
In his words
Canine distemper is a chronic viral disease caused by a pneumotropic virus of
high morbidity and high mortality if the patient is not properly treated.
In past years, treatments were more effective (as described by Dr. Catalan 40 years
ago), but with the appearance of NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) and other
drugs -such as corticoids, antihistamines, and antipyretics- the treatments diminished their
effectiveness and worsened the symptoms of this disease. It led unavoidably to a slow and
painful death occurred in the nervous phase of the disease- with meningitis, exhaustion, deep
depression and death.
Generally, it happens that the mutability of the virus is blamed, arguing that the virus has
turned more aggressive; but, in fact, with the appearance of NSAIDS, the clinical response of
this disease is deformed- the immediate symptoms are relieved but the disease is definitely
worsened. In other words, it has an expected immediate response (temporary improvement)
and a mediated NEGATIVE response to the organism (gastritis, drop of the defenses, it opens
the blood-brain barrier, lowers the fever, etc.) All this is produced by NSAIDs.
Many times, in order to lessen the bearable pains and aches, we lead the patient to an
unbearable pain: the nervous phase of distemper (meningitis) and, therefore, to a slow and
PAINFUL death.
Today, I can undoubtedly affirm: ‘If you want to kill a puppy, use aspirin”
