Canine Distemper Remedies
"Canine distemper is a very serious viral disease that affects animals in the families Canidae, Mustelidae, Mephitidae, Hyaenidae, Ailuridae, Procyonidae, Pinnipedia, some Viverridae and Felidae (though not domestic cats; feline distemper or panleukopenia is a different virus exclusive to cats). It is most commonly associated with domestic animals such as dogs and ferrets, although it can infect wild animals as well. It is a single-stranded RNA virus of the family paramyxovirus, and thus a close relative of measles and rinderpest. Despite extensive vaccination in many regions, it remains a major disease of dogs."

[YEA] 06/02/2010: Regulator555 from Grand Rapids, Mi, Usa: "My dog had an incomplete vaccination history (found this out after the fact). He contracted distemper. Outlook - certain death. He was, prior to the illness, fed a raw diet (we think this helped). Anyway, he stopped eating, drinking, etc. He would drink my expressed breast milk. It kept him alive. Also, we massaged him down twice a day with 10 drops tea tree and 10 drops lavender mixed in a 1/2 cup of a carrier oil. We also boiled water and put 5 drops of tt and lav. in it and had him inhale the steam once to twice a day. We thought he was a goner, but we kept at it. It's been almost a year since that and he is alive and strong!"
Replies05/11/2011: Cuqui1551 from Ciudad Guzman, Jalisco, Mexico replies: "My 4 month old puppy seems like she's got distemper symptoms. She's on antibiotics and a fever medicine right now. I'm going to feed her raw foods high in Vitamin A (carrots, egg yolks, liver and milk) along with her puppy food and chicken broth. Is canola oil ok for a carrier oil? Any other suggestions?? "
