1/31/2001 "Today we brought Bear
home, and she looks wonderful! Her nose is totally clear, her eyes look
great, and her temperature is normal! We are still not completely in the
clear, since she had had symptoms for about 10 days before seeing Dr. Sears.
But Dr. Sears did stop the virus, now we just wait and see how much damage
was done to Bear's nervous system before the virus was stopped. We have
every hope in the world that she will live a long and full life.
"Very few dogs ever survive
distemper, and those that do must endure weeks, and often lifetimes, of
seizures. It makes me so sad to think that thousands of dogs could be spared
that fate, if only we could get the right people to listen to Dr. Sears.
"I have enclosed a before and after
picture of Bear, courtesy of Dr. Sears and his staff. This is after only
two days of treatment. I think the pictures speak for themselves. "
