OUR DISTEMPER SURVIVORS
Meet Chewy!
Celebrating the 1st week of July with Chewy, one of our Canine Distemper Virus survivors!
Chewy tested positive for Canine Distemper Virus and was confined under our care last June 21, 2021. Fluid therapy was then indicated and necessary antibiotics and supplements were administered to help in Chewy’s recuperation. Luckily, Chewy responded well with all his medications and was discharged after 6 days of confinement.
Chewy was discharged in Petlink Canine Distemper Center. Here’s a video clip of Chewy waiting for his scrumptious meal that was sent by his owners!
