These methods have had no success. The best I have been able to do
is
burn down the worst ulcers
with 1% tincture of iodine solution. Panalog
ointment seems to have
a ameliorating effect on the worst vaginal lesions,
however, does not provide
a cure. My best advise is..............DON'T SPAY YOUR
DOG BEFORE A FIRST HEAT
CYCLE. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW IF YOUR DOG IS
A CARRIER OF HERPES VIRUS
OR NOT!
I
have been told of herpes presenting as a respiratory disease by Dr. Evermann,
however, I had not seen
a case until recently. One dog from a kennel of mastiffs
was at a dog show and returned
with a sniffle nose. This spread rapidly
throughout the other kennel
dogs within about three days. Giving 2 c.c. of
ANTIDISTIMPER SERUM to
all the dogs in the kennel stopped this disease
overnight. This might
be worth a try in future cases, but I have only used it the one
time.
I also wish to share with you this as well: I heard of
one kennel of cocker
spaniel dogs that contracted
herpes virus and the owner euthanized the entire
kennel.
