CANINE DISTEMPER—
EASIER TO PREVENT
THAN TO TREAT
There is no mistaking the
misery and depression of a
pet suffering from distem
per. It is one of the most
dreaded of all pet infections.
Puppies are more suscep
tible to distemper than older
dogs, but the disease can
occur in all ages.
Symptoms of canine dis
temper are similar to those
of an upper respiratory
ailment. You may notice a
running nose, flat and dry
cough and loss of appetite at
first. This will be followed by
a high temperature, vomit
ing, a white crusty material
around the eyes and nose,
thirst and diarrhea. If
secondary infection sets in,
there may be muscular
twitching, convulsions or
paralysis.
Canine distemper is a
highly contagious disease
caused by a virus that is
carried through the air. It is
more common in the colder
months, although a pet may
contract the disease in any
weather. Canine distemper
can be picked up by coming
in contact with another dog
with distemper or from the
feet, hands or clothing of the
person caring for such an
animal. In fact, everything
used by the distemper-sick
dog may spread infection,
including a sneeze or cough
from an infected animal or
windblown germs from the
urine of a pet with
distemper.
To prevent distemper, it is
important to have your pup
vaccinated as soon as it
comes into your home and to
follow with booster shots at
intervals set up by your
veterinarian.
Puppies receive what are
known as maternal anti
bodies from their mother’s
milk. These antibodies tem
porarily protect the pup from
specific diseases which the
mother is immune to. If the
mother had distemper im
munity, example, she will
pass on distemper anti
bodies. If the antibody level
is high enough, it will
neutralize the effects of
vaccination.
At six weeks of age, the
pup’s maternal antibodies
for distemper begin to
subside. Researchers have
discovered that human
measles virus will protect
puppies between 6 and 12
weeks of age from canine
distemper and will be
unaffected by the pup’s
maternal antibodies of dis
temper. For this reason, the
distemper-measles concept
for distemper protection has
been perfected in anew
vaccine which is capable of
protecting pups against dis
temper better than ever
before, whether or not
maternal antibodies are
x*
Robert
present. Your veterinarian
can give you details about it.
The death rate for distem
per is high, and many pets
that survive are disabled.
Blindness in one or both eyes
may result from discharges
affecting the cornea. These
same discharges sometimes
leave the animal deaf or
without the sense of smell.
Permanent damage to the
nervous system may cause
chorea (twitching) for the
rest of the pet’s life.
If there is a case of
distemper in your neighbor
hood, keep away from the
house and everyone in it.
Even a short visit from a
member of the family with
the diseased pet could carry
the virus to your pet.
If your dog should suffer an
attack of distemper, good
nursing care will be vital to
bring him through. He should
be kept quiet and isolated in
clean, warm, dry and
well-ventilated quarters.
Simple foods such as beef
broth and coddled egg may
be given in small amounts.
The distemper patient will
have no interest in food, so
you may need to spoonfeed
him several times a day.
Follow your veterinarian’s
advice about medicines and
treatment.
Following recovery,
blankets and materials that
are not too valuable to
discard should be burned.
Otherwise, spray disinfect
everything the pet has come
in contact with . . .
including the backyard and
fence posts.
Canine distemper is a
dreaded disease that can
usually be prevented. Boo
ster shots are prescribed
intervals will keep your pet’s
immunity at a high level so it
can resist infection. See your
veterinarian. Distemper is
much easier to prevent than
to treat.

THE JACKSON PROCRESS-ARGUS. JACKSON. GEORGIA
Talmadge
Opposes
Forced Busing
U.S. Senator Herman E.
Talmadge charging that
forced busing has “destroyed
quality education,” said
Tuesday that busing already
is an issue in Presidential
politics and “will become a
greater issue before the
election next November.”
Senator Talmadge was
highly critical of the take
over by a federal judge of the
South Boston High School.
“It has finally come to what
some of us predicted 20 years
ago, that the courts would
take over the school system
from Boards of Education
and the people,” he declared.
“I don’t know of anything
that so harms quality
education and creates so
much friction and dissension
between the races. Every
poll I have ever seen
indicates that an overwhelm
ing majority of people, white
and black, are violently
opposed to forced busing”
Senator Talmadge said.
“Wherever it has been
instituted, it has created
violence and has destroyed
quality education in the
schools. It has created ill will
between the races. It is
highly counter-productive.”
The Georgia Senator said
he hoped Congress would
adopt his proposed amend
ment to the Constitution to
prohibit forced busing, and
he asserted that the States
would ratify such an amend
ment if they had a chance.
The Georgia Senator also
said there is “very little
relationship” between farm
prices and what people pay
for food in supermarkets.
“Asa matter of fact, 80 per
cent of the increased cost of
food last year arose after the
commodities left the farm.
For instance a 50- or 60- cent
loaf of bread has only about 8
cents worth of wheat in it,”
he pointed out, adding that
the farmers share of the food
dollar is only about 39 cents
“and that’s the highest it has
been in some time.”
Moreover, Senator Tal
madge declared, without a
surplus of agriculture ex
ports to offset deficits in
non-farm trade, “our trade
efforts would have been a
fiasco.” He said the export of
farm goods is the only
“bright feature” in U. S.
trade.
Senator Talmadge’s com
ments came in a radio
interview tape recorded for
broadcast over some 125
Georgia radio stations.
The Georgia Senator,
Chairman of the Agriculture
and Forestry Committee,
also said he hoped that
Congress would enact food
stamp reform early next
year. “When we started the

WATER, WATER
More than 99 per cent of
the earth’s vast water
resource is of little use to
mankind. It’s either salty or is
locked up in polar ice caps,
says USDA’s Economic Re
search Service. Less than one
per cent of the earth’s water
is stored in lakes and rivers, as
soil moisture, or in aquifers
(underground layers of
porous rock). That is the one
per cent used for nearly all
human needs, says ERS.
